Louise Redknapp has completely stopped the rumour mill from swirling into overdrive after it was claimed that she had grown close to a 30-year-old entrepreneur.
Although it seems Louise’s fans would love to see the 46-year-old happy, especially as ex-husband Jamie has now moved on with Swedish model Frida Andersson-Lourie , it appears love isn’t yet on Louise’s agenda.
Recent claims suggested that the former Eternal girlband member had started dating again, with the star alleged to be dating businessman Tom Van Wesseldine, 30.
It was also reported that the Heavy Love hitmaker had left a string of “flirty messages” on social media after they’d gone into business together, setting up a music company.

However, representatives for the former Strictly bombshell have since completely rubbished accusations, saying that Louise is close to both Tom and his girlfriend Emily.
Louise herself was also forced to take to her own Instagram account on Saturday to slam claims that had surfaced, telling her followers they were nothing more than “friends”.
According to The Sun, the Tom and Louise met two years ago and had both enjoyed a number of group outings ever since.

The same publication also reports that the pair had teamed up together with a charity school meals project back in October and claimed Louise had also purchased a Chelsea FC shirt signed by Frank Lampard – her ex Jamie’s cousin.
Since then, a spokesperson for the R&B artist have made it clear to the MailOnline that those claims are “total rubbish”.
A representative said: “This is total rubbish.
“Tom has a long term girlfriend and Louise is friends with both Tom and his girlfriend.

“Louise and Tom are also business partners. A heart posted on an Instagram page is not a flirty message.”
While Louise also told her social media fans: “Tommy and his girlfriend Emily are both very dear friends of mine and have been great friends over the last couple of years along with their dog diddy.”
Louise’s love life has recently hit the headlines after she released her new book last week You Got This which delves into her thoughts and feelings after her marriage broke down to Jamie three years ago.
After Louise had taken part in Strictly Come Dancing the tour, within just a few months Jamie and Louise had filed for divorce.
The mum-of-two explained that she had become green with envy that Jamie’s career as a football pundit had taken off and she yearned to be back on the stage, however she’d since had doubts about her hasty decision.
Louise said in her new autobiography: “I should have paused and thought about other people and had just a bit more time to work out why I felt I couldn’t do it anymore.
“I wish I’d tried. I want to say to anyone thinking of running: Just slow down. Don’t run,” she explained.
