Loose Women personality Coleen Nolan humorously mentioned that her experimental skincare routine once made her fear for the future of her second marriage. The inclusion of snake semen in her beauty regimen during a television appearance led her to worry that her then-spouse Ray Fensome might not tolerate it.
She adopted this strange practice while participating in The Truth About Beauty show in 2009, where she was tasked with testing various skincare methods. Reflecting on her skincare experiences during an episode of the Skin, Unfiltered podcast, Coleen shared that her elaborate routine, which included gloves, socks, tapes to lift her face, and snake semen, made her wonder if her husband would leave her over it.
Despite this incident, Coleen and Ray, who share a daughter named Ciara born in 2001, eventually parted ways in 2018. Prior to her marriage with Ray, Coleen was married to EastEnders actor Shane Richie, with whom she had two sons, Shane and Jake, before their divorce in 1999.
Known for her role on Loose Women, Coleen gained prominence in morning television after joining the show as a permanent panelist in 2000 following an initial guest appearance. Before her broadcasting career, she achieved success as part of a girl band alongside her sisters, establishing themselves as one of the top-selling girl groups in history with chart-topping hits in both England and Ireland.
