Loose Women host Kaye Adams expressed her dismay at colleague Coleen Nolan’s recent remarks favoring male friendships over female ones. During a podcast episode, Coleen shared her preference for bonding with men, stating she finds it easier and more comfortable to connect with them.
Reacting to Coleen’s statement, Kaye, also a panelist on Loose Women, voiced her suspicion, questioning the reasons behind preferring male company over female companionship. Coleen candidly responded by labeling women as unpleasant, leading to a shocked reaction from Kaye.
Exploring the dynamics of friendships, Coleen explained that she appreciates the non-judgmental and fun-loving nature of her male friends, suggesting a different atmosphere when surrounded by women. Kaye, taken aback by Coleen’s comments, expressed her disagreement with the use of derogatory language towards women.
In another surprising revelation during the podcast, Coleen shared that she remains close friends with her ex-husband Ray Fensome, even allowing him to stay over at her house occasionally. The former couple, who parted ways in 2018 after an 11-year marriage, maintain a strong bond despite their past.
Additionally, Coleen, who was previously married to EastEnders actor Shane Richie, opened up about her hesitations during their relationship, admitting she stayed longer than she should have for the sake of their children. Seeking therapy helped her realize the need to move on from the marriage, which ended in 1999.
Throughout the episode, the co-hosts engaged in a candid discussion about relationships and the complexities of friendships, shedding light on personal experiences and perspectives.
