Coleen Nolan has announced her plans to divorce her husband of 10 years, Ray Fensome.

The Loose Women star announced the news in her agony aunt column in the Daily Mirror.

“Me and my husband Ray are divorcing. I wanted to tell you first as I can hardly sit here and keep dishing out advice if I’m not being totally straight about what is going on in my own life,” she explained.

“It’s hard to imagine that so much could have changed from that day in 2008 when we married. On that day, I thought there was nothing that could split us up. I was convinced we’d grow old together, hobbling to the post office to collect our pensions.”

“But a decade on and it’s now clear I was wrong. There is too much dividing me and Ray. We can’t go back. And my future is going to be very different to the one I’d imagined back then.”

The 52-year-old, who rose to fame as the youngest member of Irish family girl group The Nolans, also said that she thought her time on Celebrity Big Brother, which she won last year, would help save her marriage but “even having time out to think wasn’t enough to save us”.

During her time in the CBB house, Coleen was vocal about her marriage troubles.

Coleen and Ray are parents to 16-year-old daughter, Ciara. Coleen also has two sons, Jake and Shane, from her previous marriage to actor Shane Richie.
