Daisy Lowe has responded to the rumours that she is in a lesbian relationship with her former Strictly Come Dancing co-star Louise Redknapp.

Fans questioned how platonic their friendship is after Lowe credited Redknapp with ‘changing her life’.

Lowe said although the speculation is funny, she finds it “strange” that people take issue with their newfound friendship.

Speaking to her Femme podcast she said: “I'm aware of all the lesbian hints. It actually makes me laugh.

“People find it strange we are friends. Why? She's an amazing, warm, honest woman. I'm proud of her. This is what women should do, support each other.”

Lowe’s comments come days after she thanked “cheerleader” Redknapp for boosting her confidence and giving her the courage to set up her podcast as a business.
