She said: "On the show Louise grew in confidence and you could see her wings expanding. It's been great because she's been a stay-at-home mum and sometimes you can forget about yourself.
"Now she's giving herself a little bit more attention and she's taking care of herself, which is lovely. She's reinventing herself."
She added: "She's a gorgeous woman and he's a lovely man, and I just feel really bad that they've separated."

Jamie's parents Harry and Sandra have also blamed Strictly for the split, and think that Louise is having a "mid-life crisis".
A source close to the couple told The Sun that whilst they were "very supportive" of Louise getting back into her career, they were "sad" about her "partying hard with her new group of friends" whilst Jamie was filming for A League Of Their Own.
Well, we're happy that Louise is starting to take care of herself a bit more!
