She further upped the ante as she placed a silk bra over the sheer leotard with fringe detailing that fell down the tops of her thighs.

Completing the look, she slipped on a pair of racy stockings which hugged her lean limbs while she posed with her arms behind her chin-length brunette 'do.

In another candid shot from the stage show, Louise sported a white and purple beaded 1920s dress which highlighted her ample cleavage with its plunging neckline. 

Continuing her racy display, Louise's striking garment featured embellished tassels which fell down her shoulders and legs, teasing at her garter and mesh body underneath.

Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, Cabaret focuses on the nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and follows young American writer Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with 32-year-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles.  

The tour - which also stars Olivier Award-nominated Will Young - kicked off in Wimbledon on September 21 and will finish up at the Theatre Royal in Brighton on December 9.

The shots come after Louise admitted that it was her Strictly Come Dancing co-star Daisy Lowe who convinced her she was still sexy, encouraging her to show off her 'gorgeous body' on the show, when she believed she needed to lose weight.

In a candid interview with The Telegraph the former Eternal singer, 42, said she had an epiphany when Daisy walked into her dressing room when she was clad in a conservative number. 

She revealed Daisy said: 'Oh my God, look at your gorgeous body. You have to wear a sexy dress. She kept on at me to wear something sexy and by week three, I was in a leotard and tights not feeling self-conscious at all.'

Louise admitted that part of her motivation to take part in Strictly was to 'help her lose weight'.

She added: 'Daisy loves other women and she’s all about body confidence. Her saying that was like a jolt because I was so conscious of my fat ankles and my excess half-a-stone – Daisy is a tiny size eight.'

It comes after Louise's husband Jamie Redknapp is reportedly refusing to watch his wife Louise take to the stage in the UK tour of Cabaret, as he feels it will be 'too awkward' in wake of their split. 

According to The Sun, the former midfielder, 44, believes claims he did not allow her to pursue her dreams are 'unfair' - and hates the impact 'new, pathetic young pals like Daisy Lowe' have had on her.

A source told the paper on Monday that her husband is refusing to see her perform onstage, as he feels it would be uncomfortable during their marriage woes.

An insider said: 'It's very telling. It's her big moment but he feels it would be too awkward.'

The source went on to claim that Jamie feels Louise's recent comments about feeling like a 'Stepford wife' during their marriage were 'unfair', as he had been nothing but supportive of her career. 

Revealing he is 'gutted' about the current state of their marriage, it was then claimed that Jamie 'hates' the impact her new, younger friends, such as model Daisy Lowe, have had on Louise.

The insider continued: 'He's gutted about what's happened. It's unfair to suggest he didn't allow her to pursue her dreams. He was totally supportive of her decision to do Strictly.

'He absolutely hates the impact her new pathetic young pals and the Strictly crew like Daisy and Will Young have had on Louise.'

MailOnline have contacted representatives of both Jamie and Louise for comment.

The new claims come after Louise publicly spoke about her 'split' from Jamie, after weeks of swirling rumours.

Speaking to the Telegraph last week, the pop star revealed she still very much loves Jamie, but confirmed the pair were living apart while she she re-evaluates her life.

Confessing she felt like a 'Stepford wife' during their twenty-year marriage, Louise admitted she finally feels like she is coming back to who she really is, after a successful stint on Strictly Come Dancing last year.

Louise, who said the hardest part was moving out while still being in love, said: 'He’s an amazing man and we’ve had 20 good years together. I know he’s trying to understand that I do need to do this.'

Admitting that she's not sure what this will do to her marriage, she continued: 'I have no idea what is going to happen, all I know is that I fought for this, it’s taken everything, but this is something I need to do – for me.'

She added that it was when she agreed to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, that she felt unable to return to the 'Stepford Wife' lifestyle.

Louise realised that it was singing and performing to make her happy again — saying that she felt 'sick' at the idea' that that part of her life was now over.

Honest: She said: 'I have no idea what is going to happen, all I know is that I fought for this, it’s taken everything, but this is something I need to do – for me'
