She said: ‘My mum said to me… “I’m a bit concerned because you go on holiday with the boys all the time.
‘”I’m wondering, when you’re sat there with eight boys, maybe men aren’t not coming up to ask you out because they think one of them is your boyfriend…”
Louise added: ‘First of all mum, people don’t come up and ask you out and I know where you’re going with this but they’re my friends.
‘It just made me laugh… I don’t want to have to wear a t-shirt saying “they’re all gay men!”‘

It comes after Louise revealed her regret over taking part in the 2016 edition of Strictly Come Dancing because it led to the end of her marriage.
The singer suggested she looks back on the experience with remorse as it ultimately ended her marriage to former soccer star Jamie, 47.
In her new book, You’ve Got This, she explains: ‘If I’d done the show four years earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have walked away from my marriage.’
Louise, who was partnered with Kevin Clifton, said that taking part in the show ‘simply wasn’t worth putting anyone I loved or love through the heartache’.

The mum of two – who has Beau, 12, and Charley, 16, with her ex-husband – thinks she would have been ‘too scared’ to leave Jamie if she hadn’t taken part in the show.
However, she also believes that it has reignited her career and opened up new opportunities for her.
She said: ‘I still wish I’d done things differently because I feel like I hurt a lot of people and I’ll always be sorry for that.’
Louise also cryptically suggests she shouldn’t have put her trust in some people, and said: ‘I felt like certain people had my back, and, in hindsight this wasn’t really the case.

‘I was so scared about going back to normal life and losing what I’d achieved on the show.’
Louise previously admitted she’d contemplated suicide amid her split from her former husband.
The pop star revealed she thought about stepping in front of a bus at one point during their split.
Louise – who was married to Jamie between 1998 and 2018 – shared: ‘I would be standing in Central London and would wonder whether it would be easier for a bus to take me out.
‘All it would take was for me to step out at the wrong moment and it would be over.’

It comes following claims that Louise can reportedly see herself ‘getting married again’ after ‘clearing toxic energy from the past’.
According to new reports, Louise would like ‘another chance’ at getting a ‘happy ending’ after splitting from Jamie in 2017.
Louise is said to feel ‘healed’ and her ‘energy shifted’ after candidly discussing her marriage.
A source told Heat: ‘Louise doesn’t want to get messed around. She’s got a list of requirements – mainly that he’s self-sufficient, secure in himself and trustworthy.

‘She’s serious about moving on, and has said that clearing all that toxic energy from the past has made her realise she could see herself getting married again. She’d like another chance at getting her happy ending.
‘Lou says speaking about her marriage has really helped to heal her. Since releasing her book, her energy has completely shifted. She doesn’t want to be forever defined by her failed marriage, or seem as though she can’t let go of the past.’
However, a representative for Louise vehemently denied the new reports when contacted by MailOnline for a comment.
It comes after Louise’s ex was spotted packing on the PDA with his Swedish model girlfriend Frida Andersson on Monday.
Jamie’s relationship is thought to be the pundit’s first since his split from Louise, with whom he shares two sons, after 19 years of marriage. Jamie and Frida have been linked since August.
