While neither have publicly announced their break-up, fans have found several clues seemingly confirming the reports. Thompson has alluded to the break-up before and appears to have done so again in a new interview with The Mirror. The I’m a Celeb… winner told the publication that he finds his “biggest comforts” whenever he is going through a “tough time” is popping over to his nearby sister’s house.
“It’s amazing having Louise there and she’s an amazing mum,” he said. “One of my biggest comforts, if I’m ever going through a hard time, is my neighbours next door. He continued: “I live my life at a very fast pace and there’s a lot going on, so when I go to their place it’s just such a family unit and it’s a beautiful place to be.
“Louise is running after Leo, my nephew, and Ryan’s running after Louise – it’s all manic madness, but it’s so warm and cosy and lovely.”. Elsewhere in the interview, Thompson said that despite his cheery facade, he does “struggle” sometimes.
Sometimes I’m a victim of people saying ‘Oh he never turns off’, of course I turn off but I’m just very lucky to do what I do. “I talk to people about struggling a lot actually,” he said. “I go to therapy, I’ve been going to therapy for years, I do loads of stuff. For someone like me, it’s really better to talk about how I feel and I’ll never, I’ll never stop that.”.
