  • Former Eternal singer's comments come after Geri Horner revealed her pregnancy joy at 44, on Monday
  • Mum-of-two Louise is married to footballer Jamie Redknapp and was previously diagnosed with endometriosis

Louise Redknapp has spoken out on her desire for more children with footballer husband Jamie.

Following the news that fellow former popstar Geri Horner is pregnant at 44, Louise exclusively told MailOnline on Tuesday that she fears it will never happen for her.

Strictly Come Dancing star Louise, 41, has previously discussed how her battle with endometriosis meant she and her footballer husband had trouble conceiving sons Charley, 11, and Beau, seven.

'I'm so pleased that she's 44 and she's having another baby - good for her,' she told MailOnline, of the Spice Girl's baby joy with husband Christian Horner.

'I think that should give a lot of women such a boost, to think: "We're entitled to go and have children up until whatever age we feel fit."'

Louise met husband Jamie at the age of 19 and they wed 18 years ago, welcoming their first son in 2004.

The common condition endometriosis - which is characterised by tissue from inside the uterus growing on the outside - meant it took four years to conceive, Charley.

But the couple were later surprised when she found herself pregnant a second time in 2008, after just four weeks of trying.

Now, Jamie has spoken about his desire to try for a little girl but Louise is concerned that it might not be such plain-sailing for a third time.

'It's definitely something that we've spoken about and we'll see what the future brings,' she explained. 

'I couldn't sit here and say, "I would absolutely love to have another child" or "I'm going to have another child" because I don't know if that would ever happen.

'If it doesn't happen then I'm more than happy with my two boys and I couldn't have even dreamed of having them - 13 or 14 years ago I never thought that would be possible. 

'To have two boys now is incredible, to have another one of course would be amazing.'

She concluded: 'I am really lucky - you can have a great day at work, no matter what you achieve but when I come home and I'm mum and I'm just Jamie's wife, there's nothing like it.'

Now that her sons are old enough, Louise has taken the opportunity to take hold of a new route professionally, with both hands.

Louise, who found fame in Nineties girlband Eternal, is delighted to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing with dance partner Kevin Clifton.

She went on: 'I haven't done anything for a long time apart from really be their mum. I've never felt like I've really had the opportunity to even put music and dancing in front of them. 

'Now he comes home and we're all dancing and I'm trying to teach them my routines, Jamie can't believe it.' 

She added: 'I've got a fight on my hands if I want to teach the boys to do any form of dancing, I think.' 

It's not the only thing that Louise has been working on recently, because the former popstar is also the new face of Mecca Bingo's new ad campaign.

'Bingo brings back really fond memories,' the mum-of-two continued. 'My Nan and Granddad had a pub where they'd always have bingo night and it was the one night of the week that I used to love staying there. 

'It gives me such fond memories of my grand parents, who I love dearly. Seeing them get a Full House and the smiles on their families. I'm so fond of that.'
