Louise Redknapp and Kelle Bryan say they are still ‘best of friends’ amid Eternal transgender rights row

Louise Redknapp and Kelle Bryan revealed they are “still the best of friends” as they appeared together on ITV’s Loose Women, amid the Eternal transgender rights row.

Earlier this week it was revealed the pair had pulled out of the Eternal reunion tour as it was alleged Vernie Bennett and sister Easther had refused to play any of the LGBTQ+ gigs they had scheduled over claims the LBGTQ+ community is being “hijacked” by the trans movement.

Louise said on Loose Women: “I would have always loved to have done a reunion with the girls. I have a lot of love for what we have done together and me and Kelle are still the best of friends.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Vernie released a statement about how she has been “blessed to connect with so many diverse and wonderful people from all walks of life during my career”.
