Coleen Nolan, the outspoken Loose Women panellist, has made a startling confession about her married life that's left fans both shocked and nodding in recognition. The 58-year-old television personality revealed that her bedroom habits with husband Michael Jones might not be what you'd expect.
The Cleaning Avoidance Tactic
In a surprisingly candid moment, Coleen admitted she'd rather tackle household chores than be intimate with her husband. "I'll suddenly decide the skirting boards need cleaning at 10 o'clock at night," she revealed, describing her creative avoidance strategies when her husband hints at romance.
The celebrity, who's been married to Michael since 2007, didn't hold back about the reality of long-term relationships. "After 16 years of marriage, let's be honest - you're not at it like rabbits," she told her fellow Loose Women panellists with characteristic bluntness.
A Marriage Built on Honesty
Despite her humorous confessions about their sex life, Coleen was quick to emphasise the strength of her relationship. She described Michael as her "best friend" and someone she can "tell anything to," highlighting that emotional intimacy matters more than physical frequency in their marriage.
"We're completely honest with each other," she explained, noting that this transparency has been the foundation of their lasting partnership. The couple have navigated the typical ebbs and flows that come with nearly two decades together, finding that friendship forms the bedrock of their connection.
The Reality of Long-Term Relationships
Coleen's revelations struck a chord with many viewers who appreciated her honesty about the natural evolution of intimacy in long-term partnerships. Her confession normalised the experience many couples face but rarely discuss publicly.
Rather than presenting a picture-perfect celebrity marriage, Coleen offered a refreshingly realistic perspective on what keeps relationships strong through the years. It's not about maintaining newlywed passion, but about building a deep, honest friendship that withstands life's challenges.
Her message to other couples? The occasional clean skirting board might be a small price to pay for a marriage that's built on genuine connection and complete honesty.
