TALK OF THE TOWN: Louise Redknapp ticks off TikTok as pop star turns to platform to ‘keep herself positive’ during lockdown
Has Louise Redknapp inadvertently sounded the death knell for TikTok? After all, if 45-year-olds are using the app, it can’t be cool any more…
The pop star has turned to the platform – hugely popular among teenagers – to ‘keep herself positive’ during isolation.
Users frequently film themselves lip-syncing or performing dance routines.

‘This is really stupid, but I’ve been doing TikToks because they’re the new alternative to when I go to the studio and I learn a routine or a bit of a song,’ admitted the former Strictly finalist, seen on the app.
Rather embarrassing for her sons Charlie, 15, and Beau, 11 – and potentially catastrophic for TikTok investors…

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been bragging… about how little bragging he does and how he should do it more often!
The 39-year-old believes he is one of the most humble men in Hollywood after learning a harsh lesson about blowing your own trumpet when he was a child actor.
The Dark Knight Rises star says: ‘I’ve been acting since I was six and I would brag a lot, like, “I was in this show” or “I was in that commercial”. Naturally, the other kids started making fun of me, which sucked, so I decided not to do that any more. I would chill out.’
But in the age of Instagram, Joseph moans that his modesty has become unfashionable. ‘It’s kind of hard because nowadays bragging has become more of a thing,’ he sighs.
