Coleen Nolan still hasn’t spoken to her husband since leaving ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The ‘Loose Women’ presenter panellist – who was crowned winner of the show on Friday (03.02.17) evening, beating Jedward into second place – was open about her problems with Ray Fensome before entering the house, and though her 32 days inside the famous abode made her realise she wanted to fight for their marriage, they haven’t had the chance to discuss their future as the musician is currently on tour in America and won’t be back for another two weeks.
She said: "We haven’t had a chance to speak because he’s touring America and he’s not back til the 20th.
"We texted each other and he sent me a text saying, ‘I just saw you win online and I’m so proud of you and blah blah blah’, and that was lovely.
"But we haven’t picked up the phone and spoken to each other, I don’t want to do it on the phone, I don’t want to ruin his time in America as he’s having the time of his life and we’ve plenty of time to talk about it when he gets back."
The 51-year-old star admitted her time away from Ray – the father of her 15-year-old daughter Ciara – made her realise how much she missed him and sparked a return of the "feelings" she has always had for him.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’, she said: "If ‘Big Brother’ was good in any way it was for that, leading up to it, part of me was like I can’t wait to go in because I was ready for a break, but when I was in there, there were so many times I thought ‘I miss him’ or if he’d been in here, we’d have laughed at that and that was a lovely feeling…
"What it made me feel is those feelings, I’d forgotten I had them so to have moments in the house where I felt them was a lovely thing so I thought there is hope, they were still there."
And Coleen – who also has sons Shane Jr., 28, and Jake, 24, with ex-husband Shane Richie – has vowed to do whatever it takes to save her marriage.
She added: "I will fight for it until there’s no fight left in me."
