And Banksy is such a handsome chap too, looking every bit as gorgeous as ever. Hope you've all had the most wonderful time making memories together."‌Louise and Beau's getaway comes not long after she revealed what her sons, Charley and Beau, really think of her singing career. During an appearance on Sunday Brunch, chatting with Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer about her tour and music career, Tim, 58, said: "How do the boys feel about it? Because they've grown up now, haven't they?"To which Louise quipped: "I mean, they take absolutely no notice of me. I am just their mum." Host Simon, 63, then asked: "But have you gone from that phase of them thinking, 'this is what mum does', because they're little, to them being sort of thinking, 'I don't care what you do, you're still my mum and you annoy me', to kind of being slightly embarrassed by it. Are they not now at the point where they're going like, 'I'm proud of you!'"To which Louise said: "Yeah, I think so. So my youngest yesterday, he's in Paris with his girlfriend. [He's] 17. I rang him, like you do as a mum, and he ignored me like he does as my son.‌"And then he texts me, he was like, 'Oh, can we go on holiday next week for a few days?' And I was like, 'Oh, I'm just about to go on stage.' [And he said] 'Oh, yeah, good luck. Kiss.'"You know, that's about as much support as I get. But no, I think secretly they're sort of proud. I think they just want me to be happy." Talking about her sons now being grown up - Louise shares Beau, 17, and Charley, 21, with her ex-husband Jamie Redknapp - the singer said: "I hate them not coming home. I hate it when they're not home all the time, though."Mine are away a lot. Like their dad, or football, or work. I'm like, 'When are you coming home?' But I mean, they're still there, but just not as much as I like."Article continues belowLike this story?
