The Sunday Mirror claimed that Louise and Kelle, who is part of the Loose Women panel, were stunned when Easther and Vernie refused to play a festival because of its ties to the trans community.

Now, Eternal’s original manager Denis Ingoldsby has claimed that sisters Easther and Vernie are “devastated” due to their misrepresentation.

He explained to The Mirror: “Louise and her team have thrown them under the bus and everyone is totally appalled at their bullying behaviour by totally misrepresenting the situation to suit their own agenda.

“The girls sent an email to Louise’s camp saying they loved playing Pride, and they loved the ethos of the event.

“For her camp to go on the record suggesting they are homophobic is utterly outrageous. This is nothing about gay rights. The girls have played numerous LGBTQ+ venues their entire careers and have been inspired by the love and acceptance they have received."

He went on to say: “This is about the debate about the trans lobby and the erosion of the rights of women and children. Vernie said she had some concerns about the Pride movement being hijacked - and she is not alone - but this has now been weaponised against her, with Louise’s team trying to get her cancelled.

“The fact that the public statements by Louise’s team conveniently failed to acknowledge these concerns...once again shows how women are being excluded from the conversation.”

The 90s girl group were due to perform at Mighty Hoopla, but Louise and Kelle Bryan called it quits after a row with sisters Easther and Vernie.

A source told how “Louise and Kelle were stunned and pulled out immediately" when they were informed the sisters would not "support the LGBTQ community now it has an alliance with the trans community."

Louise, 48, appeared to address the reports when she posted picture of the LGBTQ+ flag across all of her social media accounts.

Eternal were famed for such smash hits as Stay and I Wanna Be The Only One.

They have sold more than 10 million records worldwide, and sold a million copies of their debut album Always and Forever.
