She added: 'This year couldn't have turned out further from how I imagined. Literally thought 2022 was going to be THE ONE.'
Louise has closely documented her struggle with her followers and was recently admitted to hospital, where she felt 'more safe' during her recent stay in hospital than at home as she could focus solely on her own health.
She shared a tribute to her beloved brother on Instagram on Tuesday, writing: 'Happy 30th birthday to my baby brother.
'I am devestated [sic] not to be there to celebrate with you in person on this big milestone but I’m spending the day thinking of you guys, looking through all the photos and missing you like mad.
'There are lots of nice things that I could say but mainly I’m super proud of who you’ve become over the past few years. I can’t believe how damn grown up you’ve become, living with your dream girl, talking about upcoming projects and investments, working on exiting new shows and even giving me advice.
'Up until recently I still thought of you as my 18 year old baby brother, but in this past year something has changed - you’re actually an adult now.

'You always used to say ‘later Sam’ will deal with that, referring to your grown up self dealing with problems, and that time has come. You can handle anything like a champ. You are LATER SAM. You’ve achieved more than most will in their lifetime and I genuinely see you as someone I can learn a lot from. You are an inspiration to me and many others.
'I feel incredibly lucky to have you as my sibling because I know not all brothers and sisters get along. In fact I don’t know what I would do without you living next door. Family and friends have got me through the last year of hell.
'It hasn’t always been that way though. What started out as me chasing you round the sofa trying to pull your hair out, verbally annihilating you, thinking that I’m way cooler than you and refusing to hang out with you and your friends has blossomed into such an indestructible friendship. I’m blessed to have you in my life.

Sam and Zara confirmed their relationship in May 2019, telling OK Magazine that Zara made the first move. ‘She slid into my DMs. It was great and I’m glad she did,’ Sam revealed.
They briefly split but got back a few months later in November 2020 after Sam forgave Zara for cheating on him.
A source told MailOnline exclusively at the time: 'They are certainly back together again. This finally happened about two weeks ago now. He took her back.'
Sam had previously stated on Made In Chelsea that their 16-month relationship was well and truly over, following revelations Zara had cheated.
