Actress Louisa Lytton first found fame when she joined EastEnders playing the part of Ruby Allen on and off from 2005 to 2021
Life for Louisa Lytton feels quite intense right now. The former EastEnders star is about to embark on a 12-week theatre tour and she is excited about getting back to work after an extended maternity leave.
This time there won’t be much opportunity for a quick dash back home. Louisa is taking on the role of Jenny, following in the footsteps of Lily Allen, Jaime Winstone and Cheryl Tweedy. The touring production of the acclaimed supernatural thriller 2:22 A Ghost Story opens in Bath this week, before heading around the UK.
“There’s so much pressure as a new mum, getting pulled in lots of different directions. I do feel like things are changing, especially in the acting industry and theatre world where there are often options to job share. It’s only my experience, but there seems to be a lot more understanding around working mums and our director for 2:22 has been amazing with that.”
“We thought we’d see what happened… and it happened! And it meant Aura was there at our wedding, which was lovely.” Has married life changed anything in their relationship? “No, I don’t think it has at all to be honest. Maybe because we’d had a baby, we already felt like such a strong unit. Away from acting, Louisa has a thriving clothing business, Aura Soul London. Named after her daughter, it was set up during maternity leave and sells outfits with a neutral palette that allows the whole family, male and female, to co-ordinate. “It’s taken off really well,” she says. “A friend texted me the other day from Italy and someone was wearing our dungarees! That’s quite crazy for something which was initially about taking a bit of a chance.
