Louise Thompson has declared there is 'nothing' she won't wear after having a stoma bag fitted, and has given it the playful name 'Winnie'. The former Made In Chelsea star, 34, revealed the bag earlier this month following years of suffering from ulcerative colitis, which she was diagnosed with in 2018.
In an Instagram video on Wednesday, Thompson modelled a blue swimsuit and expressed surprise at how 'incognito' the bag appeared in swimwear. She wrote: 'Things I won’t wear with my bum bag: NOTHING. I have to say I’m pretty amazed by how incognito my stoma bag is in my cosi’s! Might be a different story by the end of the day but for now this is SERVING.'
Thompson explained the name 'Winnie' is a reference to Winnie the Pooh, adding: 'What are we thinking about the name Winnie? And more importantly have you got it? I think it’s priceless. Clue: honey pot, but open to suggestions. Was on our og baby name list, but this will do for now.'
Followers praised her body confidence, with one commenting: 'Love this so much. The number of patients I’ve seen too afraid to wear anything tight. You’re going to give so many people the confidence they deserve.' Another said: 'Mine is Frodo (Baggins).'
Thompson first shared news of the stoma bag in early April, saying she did not want to hide it forever. She has previously spoken about her struggles with ulcerative colitis and the autoimmune disease lupus. Earlier this year, she spent two weeks in hospital after a flare-up during a holiday with her fiancé Ryan Libbey and their two-year-old son Leo.
