Lorraine Kelly has been slammed by fans of Louise Redknapp after she made comments about the singer's split from her footballer husband of 19 years Jamie.

Speaking about Louise's marriage, Lorraine said that she "couldn't understand" why they had called time on their 19-year marriage, despite Louise's revealing interviews over the past couple of weeks.

Only this weekend, an interview with The Telegraph's Stella Magazine revealed that Louise had begun to feel like a "Stepford Wife", and wanted to relaunch her career.

But Lorraine waded into the split, confessing that she was baffled by the situation in a segment on her show with showbiz journalist Dan Wootton.

She said: "I hear what she's saying, but surely it's not one or the other. You can have a career and a family. It's really difficult to balance, we know that, but she could have had someone in to help, and he could have done a bit more – she could have had the best of both worlds.

"It means your partner has to do a lot to help, but also they're not exactly poor. She could have someone in to make the dinner. We don't know do we, we can only speculate. I just don't understand why she left him.

"Why she couldn't go on tour and say, 'Look, I've supported you for years but I'm gonna go do Strictly and do this tour and I need you to back me up. But the tour will be finished soon'.

"There must be more to it, I don't know, we just need to get her in to talk to her! They've got two children so I hope they work it out because they're both lovely people. The Strictly curse."

Whilst we're SURE that Lorraine meant what she said in good-natured, well-intended way, it does come across quite critical.

Maybe that's exactly what Louise did, and it didn't go down well with Jamie? Maybe it's not all Louise's fault, Lorraine?!

Infuriated viewers on the show thought that Lorraine should butt out of the situation, and took to Twitter to vent their frustrations.

Louise first addressed her split with Jamie in an interview on This Morning.

Whilst neither she or Jamie have actually confirmed that they're separating - which gives us hope that they can work things out! - it sounds as though it's pretty much a done deal.

She told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: "It's been so heavily documented and of course, we all go through hard times. My priority, and his priority, are our children. Protecting them and keeping as much private as possible and loving them and putting them first and that's really what we are focusing on.

"For me, going back to work has been something that has been a real saviour. Doing Strictly does something. For me it was all about performing. And to go back on stage every night and to get the opportunity again. It's great.

"I'd been at home for 12 years doing the mum thing."

Good on you, we say!
