Coleen Nolan has admitted that she doesn’t feel “sexy” unless she is on holiday. The Loose Women favourite, 60, candidly spoke of her discomfort during the rising temperatures, and insisted that she couldn’t stand the thought getting intimate with anyone after she had been looking after livestock on her farm amid the intense heat.

During a discussion with fellow panellists Jane Moore and Judi Love and anchor Christine Lampard about feeling attractive in the heat on Monday’s episode of the ITV chat show Coleen confessed: “On holiday, yeah but not here.”

She added: “This weekend, for instance, it was so hot and I stank of horses. I was sweating from places I didn’t even know existed and then I thought if I had have a partner, he would have not a chance in hell because I’m too hot!”

When former I’m A Celebrity star Jane pointed out out that, according to a psychologist, sunshine was what was needed to boost libido, Coleen quipped: “And a really good fan…”

The innuendo prompted fits of laughter from the studio audience, before she clarified her joke by waving her hand in front of her face.

Coleen, who split from Michael Jones in December 2024 – three years after they matched on Tinder – then claimed that she needed to “get a boyfriend” in order to fully understand the benefits that the effects the sunshine had to offer her.

The I’m In The Mood For Dancing songstress, who recently enjoyed a holiday abroad and documented the trip for her Instagram followers, admitted that she and Michael “would rather just stay friends,”, so they went their separate ways.

After the split, Coleen said: “It’s nothing to do with anyone else, it’s nobody’s fault. But I’m really busy and when I’m not really busy with work I’m busy on the farm and I feel personally that I can’t give time to everything. We still get along great and hopefully we can continue to be friends, who knows?

While she’s still officially single, Coleen said she’d “probably date again”, but was waiting for the right time – and the right person to come along.

“The men I meet are either married or gay, so I’ve no hope in the industry I’m in,” she exclusively told OK!. “And I don’t go out to bars, unless they’re serving me a cup of tea.”

With limited time for dating, Coleen didn’t rule out signing up to a dating app to find her perfect match.

“Apparently, there’s one that’s aimed at country folk, called Muddy Matches, so that’ll be the one I try when I’m up for it,” she said.

“But whoever I date, I’m not sure I want their toothbrush in my bathroom. I’ve been in relationships my whole life and I’m enjoying having my house to myself, not worrying about anyone else.”

Coleen, who was once married to EastEnders actor Shane Richie, followed by musician Ray Fensome, said she doesn’t’ necessarily miss “sex”, but the odd bit physical affection would be welcome.
