Louise Thompson (34) is a former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star, who presents the podcast ‘He Said, She Said’ with her fiancé Ryan Libbey. The couple live in London with their son Leo; in 2021, Thompson experienced severe trauma during childbirth, spending weeks in intensive care. Last year she announced on Instagram she had been fitted with a stoma bag as part of her treatment for ulcerative colitis.
I grew up in a townhouse in Notting Hill. It was a fun area. I remember the carnival every year. We had a lot of friends who lived on our street, we had a communal garden. It was like something out of the movie Notting Hill. I think in fact they actually filmed some of the scenes in our garden – my parents got invited to the premiere.
