The former Eternal star was spotted leaving celebrity hotspot The Groucho Club with hunky Drew last week and today gave viewers a glimpse into her newfound happiness.
It comes after she split from Jamie, 50, following 20 years of marriage to the ex-footballer, who tied the knot with second wife Frida in 2021.
"I'm very happy, he's great, lovely, it's really nice," Louise told the ITV panel.
She admitted: "It's been a really long time for me. It's lovely to have met somebody that makes me so happy."

Louise was also reunited with fellow Eternal alum and old school friend Kelle Bryan on the show and the panellist told viewers that it was "bonkers timing" given their recent row with bandmates Vernie and Easther Bennett.
The group has been left divided after Louise and Kelle, both 48, stepped back following a bitter clash over transgender rights.
It was claimed sisters Vernie and Easther refused to play at a festival because of its ties to the trans community.
Kelle said: "It’s funny but I just need to say the timing is a bit odd today, with everything that is going on, but this has never happened, and it’s bonkers it’s surrounding all the stuff that’s going on at the moment."

Host Kaye Adams then asked Louise how she felt about it all, and Louise said: "For me I’ve always been open I feel I would always have loved to do a reunion with the girls. I've been very open about that over the years.
"I just feel passionate that the LGBTQ+ community were involved and included. And it's just that simple.
"But I still have a lot of love for what we have done together and we are the best of friends. Fingers crossed all good."
Kelle added: "I made my statement. But being part of this band has been life changing for me and the music and the relationship with the fans. That's what matters."
