Loose Women star Kaye Adams expressed her dismay at colleague Coleen Nolan’s recent remarks favoring male friendships over female ones. During a podcast episode, Coleen admitted her preference for relationships with men, leading Kaye to question the underlying reasons for this bias.
In response to Coleen’s assertion that women can be difficult, Kaye was taken aback and challenged her co-star’s choice of words. The exchange between the two continued as they bantered about the dynamics of their female-dominated panel show.
Coleen defended her stance by highlighting the perceived advantages of male friendships, citing a lack of judgment, enjoyable interactions, and a more carefree atmosphere compared to her experiences with female friends. Kaye, however, stood firm in her belief that the term “b*tches” carries negative implications and emphasized women’s inclination towards deeper analysis in relationships.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Coleen disclosed her ongoing friendship with ex-husband Ray Fensome, revealing that they maintain a close bond despite their past marriage ending in 2018. The former couple, who share a daughter, Ciara, were married for 11 years before parting ways.
Additionally, Coleen discussed her previous marriage to EastEnders actor Shane Richie and candidly reflected on the challenges she faced, admitting to staying in the relationship longer than she should have for the sake of their children. Seeking professional guidance helped her realize the need to move on, ultimately leading to the end of their marriage in 1999.
