As they revealed their plans, Linda asked Coleen: "what about you?" and she swiftly replied: "Let's not got there".

After the panellists finished swapping their cards which had hilarious quotes like 'I tolerate you' and 'I Hate You less Than Most People', Coleen added: "I love getting cards, it's the first one I've had all day".

Later on in the show, Coleen joked about not having sex during a discussion about intimacy in care homes.

She quipped: "This is the most excited I've been about getting old in ages. When you're not getting it at home..."
Her revelation prompted squeals of laughter from the other Loose Women.

Coleen has been vocal about strains on her current marriage to musician Ray Fensome - who she has been wed to since 2007.

Her comments come after she revealed she hasn't seen Ray since leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Loose Women star opened up about her marital troubles in December when she revealed she is facing a split if she and Ray cannot find a way to save their relationship - after he admitted he no longer finds her attractive.

Ahead of her Celebrity Big Brother entry at the beginning of January, Coleen explained that being in the house and apart from Ray would be a test for their marriage.

She then went on to join CBB and win - in a shock victory for many - after which she declared she was determined to save their relationship.

But it seems Coleen still has not had the chance to really speak to Ray, who is away playing guitar for Rick Astley on his current American tour.

Following her victory, Coleen opened up to Bit on the Side host Rylan Clark-Neal explaining how much she still loved her husband despite their marital woes before she entered the house.

She said: “It’s made me realise how much I do need him in my life.”

As the audience cheered, and Rylan gave her a kiss on the cheek, the 51-year-old elaborated on her feelings.

Returning to Loose Women after her CBB win, Coleen revealed she hasn't spoken to her husband properly.

She said: “Leading up to Big Brother I needed a break, but there were so many times I missed him.

“That was a lovely feeling, because that’s one of the feelings I felt I had lost. We haven’t had a chance to speak since I’ve got out because he is touring America, he’s not back until 20th [February],” she explained.

"We’ve text each other and he said, ‘I’ve just watched you winning online and I’m so proud of you.’ But I haven’t picked up the phone because it is the elephant in the room, I don’t want to ruin his time in America - we can wait until her gets home,” she said.

She remains hopeful of a reconciliation, however, saying: “To have moments where I felt those feelings again made me think there is hope - they are still there, we’ve just lost a connection. I will fight for [my marriage] until there is no fight left in me.”

On Twitter, Ray revealed he has been posing with female fans as the Rick Astley tour wows audiences across the pond.

"It was great meeting you in Clearwater; enjoyed the curbside chat! Your guitar work was mesmerizing," one fan wrote via the micro blogging site, with Ray replying: "lovely to meet you too x".
