The 55-year-old previously anchored the flagship Beeb programme for nine years.
Louise starred alongside the late Bill Turnbull as well as Dan Walker before departing the red sofa in 2021.
Three years on, the presenter has revealed she’s still in touch with Dan, 47, as she admitted she ‘misses’ the team.
Speaking to the Express, she said: “Dan and I talk a lot. He’s so sweet because if I phone him up, he’ll always answer my phone.
“And you know, obviously, I would try not to phone him when he was on air, but we still talk.”
The mum-of-two continued: “I miss two things. I really miss the team. I really miss, you know, Sally [Nugent] and Jon [Kay] and Dan and Carol [Kirkwood]. Also the wider team as well – the breakfast team.”
With Dan Walker recently confirming he wouldn’t be returning to BBC Breakfast, Louise has now ruled out a comeback too.
She opened up on how difficult she found the early mornings and the ‘pressure’ of hosting the show.
“What the stress was having to concentrate for three and a quarter hours when you’ve got so many things going on.
“News stories are changing all the time doing 12 different interviews on 12 different subjects.
“You know, there’s that pressure. There are six million people watching. […] Dan and I both found them [early wake-ups] really hard.
“We had sort of different approaches. I mean, he survived on very little sleep.”
Meanwhile, Louise previously ripped into bosses behind-the-scenes on BBC Breakfast and accused them of ‘sexism’.
She wrote about how she was constantly snubbed from opening the show in her latest book Fearless: Adventures with Extraordinary Women.
