Loose Women star Kaye Adams expressed her dismay at colleague Coleen Nolan’s recent comments favoring male friendships over female ones. During their podcast, Coleen revealed a preference for relationships with men, prompting Kaye to question the underlying reasons for this preference.
The discussion unfolded with Coleen asserting that she found it easier to connect with male friends, leading Kaye to express her suspicion towards such a stance, questioning what might have influenced Coleen’s perspective. Coleen bluntly defended her viewpoint by labeling women as derogatory terms, leaving Kaye visibly taken aback.
In response to Coleen’s remarks, Kaye humorously pointed out the irony of their roles on the all-female panel show, Loose Women. Coleen elaborated on her preference for male friendships, highlighting the non-judgmental nature and carefree dynamic she experienced with male companions, contrasting it with what she perceived as a different vibe when interacting with female friends.
Expressing her shock at Coleen’s characterization of women, Kaye challenged the negative connotations associated with the term used by Coleen, emphasizing women’s tendency to delve deeper into situations for analysis.
During the podcast, Coleen also disclosed her amicable relationship with her ex-husband Ray Fensome, sharing that they still maintain a friendly bond, even occasionally staying together at her house. The couple, who parted ways in 2018 after an 11-year marriage, continue to co-parent their daughter Ciara.
Coleen, who was previously wed to EastEnders actor Shane Richie and shares two sons with him, recently opened up about her past marriage decisions in an honest conversation with her eldest son. Reflecting on her hesitation to end the relationship for the sake of her children, Coleen acknowledged seeking professional guidance to ultimately realize the need to move on from the marriage, which ended in 1999.
