Louise Thompson reveals she is scheduling day dates with her partner Ryan ... trends now
Louise Thompson has revealed she has decided to enjoy early morning 'day dates' with partner Ryan Libbey as she focuses on their relationship after her recent health battle.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 34, revealed last month she had a stoma bag fitted after years of suffering from ulcerative colitis following a diagnosis in 2018.
Louise said she is trying to 'weave' things into her routine that 'bring joy to her life' as she gave an insight into her day with Ryan who she became engaged to in 2018.
Sharing a gallery of pictures, the reality star looked incredible as she tucked a black T-shirt into a pair of blue denim short and posed with her son Leo in their kitchen.
She added a pair of black knee high boots and a bomber jacket over the number as she placed Leo on the back of Ryan's bike as they headed to drop him at nursery.

Ahead of the day, Louise seemed in good spirits as she posed for a selfie with her little boy as they donned coordinated helmets.
After biking to drop their bundle of joy at school, Louise and Ryan enjoyed a romantic date over breakfast at Granger & Co. in Chelsea.
Alongside the pictures of her busy morning, Louise explained: 'Have been working with my mentor this year to figure out how many things I can weave into my routine that bring more joy to my life.
'I came up with the idea of doing weekly early morning ‘day dates’ with Ryan and we landed on a Wednesday - bang smack in the middle of the week and something rather lovely to look forward to.
'I’ve committed to getting up a little bit earlier, dropping Leo off a little bit earlier too (via bike as a 3x unit), and then cycling around various parts of town with Ryan sourcing out some of the best breakfast spots that the city has to offer. We will feast on healthy grub and soak up some new sights, smiling at strangers, all before racing home, peddle to the floor to start work promptly at 10am.'
Listing the reasons why the couple have decided to do 'day dates' and the benefits, Louise continued: 'It ticks a lot of boxes for us.

'2. Cycling. I’m not doing much exercise atm, but cycling is good because it not only gets you from A to B v quickly, it also gets me moving my body and I’m looking to gradually build in a bit of cardio whilst also growing those trust quad muscles that diminished at a rapid rate when I was ill (I never know when I’ll next need the extra weight and muscle).
'3. It’s also an activity that forces you OFF your phone.
'3. Laughter. Ryan finds me on the bike hilarious. Especially when I get really competitive and lean forward as if I’m racing and over take him. We’re both such athletic losers and it feels really nice to get back to this core of who we are.
'4. It’s a nice way to observe the city and to see people go about their daily business. A wink and a smile with a stranger goes a long way. We also love people watching and creating narratives for passers by.
'5. When I get stuck into work during the day I really struggle to break away from my desk and rarely leave the house, so getting out early is a good way of combating this unhealthy habit.
