The Bill star - who competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2006 - said the point of the show was to entertain and feels he should not have been pressurised into leaving.
Louisa said: "I just found out that John Sergeant has quit. I'm really upset and really disappointed.
"I think the whole show is about entertainment and I can't believe it has got to the point where the entertainer has had to quit. It is a bit strange.
"What people need to understand is that we are not there to be professional dancers, we are doing it for fun, we are doing it for charity more importantly.
"We don't want to come out there and be professional dancers so you shouldn't be heartbroken when you have gone and someone else has stayed because the the show is for charity."
Les Dennis also called for him to return.
"John Seargent - get him back or get Andrew Sachs in to replace him," he joked.
:: Louisa is playing Peter Pan in panto alongisde Henry 'The Fonz' Winkler as Captain Hook at Milton Keynes Theatre. Les Dennis appears in Cinderella at the Liverpool Empire.
