Louise Thompson has revealed that she took her son Leo out of nursery for the day to spend quality time together 

The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, said she wants to ‘soak up any opportunity I get to spend’ with her three-year-old before he starts school next year

‘He is old for his year so he won’t be starting school until next September – I feel like he will practically be cartwheeling in at that point – but I still want to soak up any opportunity I get to spend with him, because I know that after that point things won’t be nearly as flexible and I also know that I will never get this time back.

‘So bring on the impromptu hang sessions.

‘I arranged to go to this amazing kids theatre over in East London called The Unicorn Thestre. We watched an adaptation of ‘the koala who could’, written by one of our favourite children’s authors Rachel Bright. 

‘I’ve never taken Leo to the theatre before so I was pretty apprehensive given his attention span, but he sat through the 50 minute performance as good as gold. 

‘It felt really unpretentious (unlike a lot of adult theatres), kids could move freely, chat, eat snacks loudly, go to the loo etc and the seating arrangements felt suitably informal. We had a great time.’

Louise revealed the pair got the Uber boat to the theatre and afterwards went shopping and enjoyed a ‘swanky’ lunch. 

She continued: ‘We hopped on an Uber boat there which added to the fun and we met another couple who were running the exact same operation. 

‘Then after we headed to Battersea power station for a little browse of the Lego shop and also bought some new shoes and had a swanky Italian lunch date… lol at me eating carbonara while Leo chows on lamb chops and hopped on the boat west to head home.

‘Managed to take an intense finance call with Leo mumbling around in the background this afternoon and kept other things afloat… so all in all I’d say Thursday was a success.

‘The ven diagram of trying to feel like a good parent and a good business woman is a funny one. I’ll try and mock something up which will make us all feel like less of a failure… but today was one of the rare moments where I feel like I won at both. x I’ll sleep sweetly tonight.’

After being through something so traumatic Louise confessed that she struggled a lot more with her mental health, rather than her physical.

She previously explained: ‘The mental stuff was a lot worse, physical, you can often fix a physical problem, the mental torture was really hard to grapple with.’
