Louise, 42, said: “Neither do their schoolwork unless I’m supervising and screaming at them.

“So I’ve written lots of notes in their homework diaries saying, ‘Sorry, we will catch up when I get kicked off Strictly’.

“I feel working mum guilt as I’m sure any working mum will know, I had it before this and I’m sure I’ll have it again in the future.

“Mums put so much pressure on themselves these days, the biggest thing is to be the perfect mum, to keep up with all the other mums.

“There’s so much pressure on women to be the perfect mum but I think my kids love the fact that I am a bit all over the place.”

Ex-singer Louise takes on Danny Mac, Claudia Fragapane and Ore Oduba in tonight’s semi.
