Coleen Nolan has revealed she hasn’t had sex in two years in a new interview.
The Loose Women panellist, 54 – who divorced Ray Fensome in December 2018 – insisted she ‘can’t imagine’ being in another relationship, but admitted she misses ‘romance’ and is fearful she’ll ‘never kiss someone again’.
The media personality also touched on dealing with the menopause as she confessed her fifties have been ‘some of the toughest years’ of her life and said the ageing process has made her feel ‘blue’.

Coleen tied the knot to Leeds musician Ray in November 2017, ten years after her divorce from EastEnders star Shane Richie – with whom she shares Shane Jr., 31, and Jake Roche, 27.
In December last year, the presenter – who is also a mother to Ciara, 18 – announced she and the singer had split as their marriage couldn’t be ‘saved’.
On her romance life since her divorce, the I’m In the Mood for Dancing hitmaker has revealed she is currently celibate and doesn’t miss sex.
Coleen said in this week’s OK! magazine: ‘I don’t want to spend the rest of my life celibate but I just can’t imagine even being with someone again. I haven’t looked at anyone or fancied anyone for three years.

‘I miss romance. I miss kissing, I love kissing. The thought of never kissing someone again is awful. I could never just have a friends with benefits because it’s not the sex I miss. I miss male company. I miss having someone around if the boiler breaks!’
Injecting a hint of humour into her love woes, the brunette joked she’d love to meet a ‘rich sugar daddy’, but has received ‘horrendous’ intimate images from younger men on social media instead.
Aside from her divorce, the Blackpool native is still coping with the loss of her sister Bernie, who died from cancer in 2013 aged 52, and has felt ‘blue’ since entering her fifties.

The CBB star detailed: ‘I felt redundant as a woman. Obviously I lost Bernie, which started all this off, then I hit the menopause, so my hormones have been all over the place. I was blue. I sometimes had to force myself to get out of bed.’
According to NHS, menopause is a ‘natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman’s oestrogen levels decline. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51’.
Coleen has been open about her mental health in the past as she previously revealed she had counselling for six months after her divorce from soap star Shane, 55.

She said on Loose Women back in April 2016: ‘I had counselling over a period of six months. The first time I walked in I was so embarrassed, I’m saying to my friends, ‘what am I going to say to this stranger? She doesn’t even know me.
‘I spent the first 25 minutes sobbing before I said one word and I’d never cried in front of anyone and then it was just having somebody there who had no preconception of me or of Shane.
‘All she did was over a period of time was put logic back into my way of thinking because everything was just out of control and I never really believed in counselling up until that point…[but] it worked so amazingly for me.’
