Louise Thompson shares an 'oblivious' bikini throwback and says being 'fit and ... trends now
Louise Thompson has confessed being fit and in shape saved her life amid her recent health battle.
The Made In Chelsea star, 34, had a 'lifesaving' stoma bag fitted last month after years of health woes and hospital visits following a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in 2018.
She also suffered a near death experience in 2021 when she gave birth to her son Leo, two, who she shares with fiancé Ryan Libbey.
And in her most recent Instagram post on Wednesday, Louise opened up about what health now means to her as she admitted it is no longer 'all about the abs or the butt' and insisted 'skinny doesn't mean health'.
As the mother-of-one discussed her fluctuating health, she also made the shocking confession that despite her medical problems she has maintained the same weight since she was 12-years-old.

Sharing a clip of herself paddle boarding in Antigua, pre-stoma surgery, Louise began: 'I actually wrote this caption a few months before my surgery but it still rings true. And there’s no time like the present to share... Especially when the message feels like an important one.
'In fact, it might be even more relevant to my current situation now. Plus you never know what tomorrow might bring. Or more importantly who I might help in sharing this TODAY.'
The star then confessed her health saved her life, as she admitted: 'What I’m about to say might sound a little conflicting… I was told that one of the reasons I survived was because I was fit and in shape.'
Speaking about her relationship with her weight, Louise confessed that weight isn't always the best way to determine your health.
'I realised (the hard way just like so many others) that weight is not necessarily a good indicator of health.
'I feel like I’m in a good position to comment given that I’ve been on both sides of the coin.
'Extremely healthy and preaching it. Being all about the ‘body’. To being extremely unhealthy and not having the capacity to care about what my body looks like or to put in the ground work to achieve a healthy or different one.'
Louise continued to explain that what health means to her has now changed and she no longer cares about having abs or a butt.
