Louise Redknapp, 45, catches the eye as she sunbathes in a black bikini

She’s been enjoying downtime in lockdown as she continues to co-parent her sons Charley, 15, and Beau, 11, with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp.

And Louise Redknapp treated herself to some ‘me-time’ as she sunbathed in her huge garden at her Surrey home on Tuesday afternoon.

The former Eternal member, 45, who recently said she’s open to dating again, looked sensational as she sunbathed in a black bikini while reading Sally Rooney’s debut novel Conversations With Friends.

Highlighting her cleavage, the singer stunned in her halterneck two-piece as she tapped into full relaxation mode.

The songstress accessorised with star dangle earrings and a silver chain bracelet and flashed her wrist tattoo as she shielded her eyes from the sun with her arm. 

Scraping her tresses back into a sleek ponytail, the Wonder Woman hitmaker opted for minimal make-up. 

Louise topped up her tan while reading the famous book, which is set in Dublin about two college students Frances and Bobbi, and the strange, unexpected connection they forge with a married couple, Melissa and Nick. 

Louise’s social media activity came after she said she’s ready to dip her toes in the dating pool again, after receiving the go-ahead from her eldest child.

The musician said the past few years have been very tough and she’s struggled to cope on her own.

She told The Sun: ‘My eldest is 15 and super-protective over me. But he knows he can talk to me about anything and doesn’t need to be embarrassed, I’m so open. 

‘One morning he said to me, “If you ever did want to go on a date, I’d be OK with it”.

‘It was actually a big moment as he’d always been quite vocal that I’d never go on a date.’

The media personality has been single ever since the breakdown of her marriage in late 2017.
