Louise Redknapp felt “let down” by “shallow” celebrity friends who snubbed her after her 2017 split from footie pundit hubby Jamie, a source claimed.

The former Eternal singer praised comedian Jimmy Carr and his partner, Karoline Copping, for sticking by her when her marriage of almost 20 years broke down.

But a source has told new that Louise, 46, felt betrayed by her other supposed pals in the world of showbiz who didn’t bother to pick up the phone – or appeared to side with her ex.

“Celebrity friends in particular seem to drop, they sometimes weigh up who they can get more out of,” our source said.

“Louise felt the friends sided with Jamie. Showbiz can be a sad and shallow world, and people do tend to pick the side they can benefit from.

“Louise felt let down by some friends and a lot of people she thought were friends turned out to be quite shallow.”
