Louise Thompsons Dad Responds to Iconic Dumping Scene

's father Mike has reacted to the iconic bridge scene where cruelly dumps her.

In one of the most memorable moments of the show back in 2013, Spencer, 37, met Louise on Putney Bridge where they ended their relationship in explosive fashion after his cheating had come to light. 

During the very heated shouting match Spencer said to the now influencer, 35,: 'It's very hard to respect you when you allow me to cheat on you!'

Spencer has previously said that he now feels 'so embarrassed' about the scene, saying their relationship was very 'toxic' and that he was a heavy drinker at the time.

And this week Louise's dad appeared on her He Said She Said podcast where they chatted about her time on the show and watched back the bridge moment together.

After the clip played Mike exclaimed: 'Right!', as Louise said: 'It's actually a bit savage isn't it!'

Shockingly Mike then said: 'Not really...', as Louise's fiancé Ryan Libbey then screamed: 'What!' as he implored him to explain his point of view. 

Mike then continues: 'It looks terribly staged, it doesn't seem spur of the moment in real life. It looks filmed which is what it is...'.

Louise then adds: 'It was really awkward personal stuff so for you you probably think I don't need to see my children muddling through that.'

Mike responded: 'Well nobody saw me... I got more of the Spanish archer el bow with girls in my teenage years than you could throw a cat at and I didn't expect my kids to be worrying about me cos my favourite girl had told me to 'p**s off!'

Mike then joked Louise should 'toughen up' after she said her nickname on the show was 'tears Thompson' as she used to cry all the time on the show.

Back in 2023  revealed that he regrets the famous scene where he and  broke up on Putney Bridge.

Reflecting on the scene Spencer explained on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail podcast that the pair had actually broken up in private the night before and were then told to meet the next day by producers.

He said: 'So I had actually broken up with Louise the night before and I told her about the next scene and she came in steaming hot breaking up with me instead and I was like 'this isn't real anymore!' 

'At the time I was a heavy drinker and there was a change in the wind and our relationship was very toxic at the time and it meant we had a huge screaming match that I really regret.

'You know we're not friends but I have no hard feelings towards her I wish her all the bets but it's a shame I yelled at her that way because I feel embarrassed about it. But had I not told her the night before it would have been different. 

'I would have broken up with her and she would have had a different reaction but actually she came in knowing what the scene was about. So it was not real.'
