Why I've never looked for my birth father...

LOUISE Redknapp says the only reason she never tried to find her biological father is she feared it would hurt her mum and stepdad's feelings.

The singer, 50, was raised by her mother and stepfather, Lynne and Tim Nurding. Mr Nurding already had two young sons from a previous relationship and all five came together in a happy new family.

Mother-of-two Louise said: "The minute my mum met my stepdad and they had two boys, I actually thought 'I'm happy with my lot."
