The actress was due to fly to Italy to finally wed her fiance Ben Bhanvra and exchange wedding vows this weekend.

Louisa shared her hen do snap as she explained her wedding had been postponedLouisa explained she and Ben were a “Covid household”

Louisa, 33, and Ben have already had to postpone their big day twice because of the pandemic shutting down their travel plans.

It wasn’t third time lucky for the EastEnders star, as she took to Instagram with a bath time snap updating fans on her nuptials.

Posting a photo from her hen do, she explained that they had become a “Covid household” and therefore would be staying home.

“This time last week,” Louisa captioned the post. “Since we have had a covid household. Finally on the mend. Not what the doctor ordered.

“We were supposed to be exchanging our vows today before our Italian Wedding! Instead, we cleaned the carpets covered in sick.”

Remaining positive, she concluded the post by tagging her fiance Ben and writing: “We will get there and it will be worth it.”

Louisa went on to reassure her fans on her Instagram stories that her illness had sounded “more dramatic than it was”.

“We are getting married in Italy but had to do our vows here [England]. Just to top off a week of covid and another postponed ‘wedding’ Riley decided to wee on my washing,” she joked.

It comes after Louisa revealed a major career U-turn saying return to soap is “up in the air” after welcoming her daughter Aura.

The actress – who plays Ruby Allen in the BBC One soap – said she is enjoying mum life and her seven-month-old is her “priority”.

The TV star, who welcomed baby daughter Aura in August, could not confirm if she would be returning to the soap, saying she is “not sure at the moment” what direction she will take.

Speaking exclusively to HOAR about her return to EastEnders, Louisa said: “Yeah, I’m not sure at the moment, everything is sort of up in the air.

“Not sure at the moment, I just don’t know. Now that I’ve had a baby, that’s the priority.”

The 33-year-old star said she been far too preoccupied with her little bundle of joy to watch any TV – including EastEnders.

“I don’t have time to watch TV at the moment, I watched it to get back into it after 15 years but I’m just too busy now,” Louisa said.
