She's had a turbulent five years since splitting from her husband of almost two decades, but Louise Redknapp is focusing on friendships this summer as she attempts to shake off the loneliness blues.

And the singer has especially been leaning on close pal Denise Van Outen over recent weeks, new can reveal. While her ex-husband Jamie has found lasting love with his wife Frida Andersson, Louise is still single and looking to get back out there.

A source close to Louise, 48, shared that Denise, who has been through her own romantic turmoil in the past, is helping her pal get back to her best again.

"They've been having a lot of fun and get on really really well, Louise is really appreciative of Denise's support," claimed the source.

They added, "Jamie is happy and married now so Louise can feel lonely. Denise has been through a public split and got the T-shirt so she gets it and wants to get Louise back to her best. Denise just wants to get Louise out and about. It's about having some girl time and enjoying themselves so that Louise starts to feel really good again."

Doing just that, the duo enjoyed a night out on the town as they headed to a London Pride nightclub bash in July. While Denise also attended Flackstock, the music festival in memory of Caroline Flack, to support Louise as she performed during the event.
