In a raw and emotional revelation, Coleen Nolan has opened up about one of her biggest life regrets - marrying her second husband Ray Fensome. The Loose Women panellist didn't hold back as she shared her heartfelt thoughts on what went wrong in their relationship.
The Friendship That Should Have Stayed That Way
Coleen confessed that she and Ray were better suited as friends than spouses. "Sometimes you meet someone who's perfect as a friend, but marriage changes everything," she explained during her candid discussion on the ITV daytime show. The television personality admitted that their romantic relationship ultimately destroyed what had been a beautiful friendship.
From Wedding Bells to Regret
The couple tied the knot in 2007 after meeting when Ray worked as a cameraman on Loose Women. However, their marriage lasted only eleven years before they divorced in 2018. Coleen revealed that looking back, she wishes she'd never walked down the aisle with him at all.
"If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have married him," Coleen stated bluntly. "We had something special as friends, and we should have kept it that way."
The Painful Realisation
What makes Coleen's regret even more poignant is her admission that she knew deep down it wasn't right from the beginning. She described ignoring her instincts and going through with the wedding despite her doubts - a decision that ultimately led to heartache for both of them.
"There were warning signs," she admitted. "But sometimes we get caught up in the romance and ignore what we truly feel."
Life After Divorce
Since their separation, Coleen has focused on moving forward while being honest about her past mistakes. Her openness about marriage regrets has resonated with many viewers who've faced similar situations in their own relationships.
The media personality's story serves as a powerful reminder that not every great friendship should turn into marriage, and sometimes the strongest relationships are those that remain in the friend zone.
