It comes after Louisa recently spoke out on battling coronavirus soon after giving birth to her first child last month.
Louisa explained during an appearance on Loose Women on earlier this month: 'It was difficult because I had a long labour which resulted in an emergency C-section and just as we were finding our feet, we then both got Covid.
'So it's not been the best start, but she's been fine throughout, so that's all we can ask for really.'
