Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has admitted she regrets sharing her sex life issue with her ITV co-star.
The TV presenter, 62, says she once told her Loose Women pal Kaye Adams that she hadn't had sex for seven years - a personal confession she made off-screen.
But during a live on-air discussion, Carol claims her co-star shared her lack of bedroom action with viewers at home.
And although Carol didn't shy away from the discussion she said she wished she hadn't told her co-star.
She said: "Going back to Loose Women, I think probably I wish I hadn’t have told Kaye Adams that I hadn’t had sex for seven years.
"That was way before Mark (her now husband),"
She went on: "Kaye said it on air. In a way it wasn’t a viral moment, but it became a thing."
Carol opened up about the omission when she was speaking to Kate Thornton about cancel culture and people being easily offended.
Kate explained: "It became a thing because when you started dating Mark literally people were thinking about street parties because she was open again for business."
She added: "It was such a big deal. Maybe we should have a party because Carol’s had sex."
Carol also discussed the reasons behind her lack of libido On White Wine Question Time podcast, where she said it was partly beneficial to have attracted that level of attention.
She explained her "mojo" faded after her mum passed away in 2003, and she still lacked self-esteem seven years later.
However, she went on to meet her husband Mark Cassidy.
Carol described how she slipped into a "deep grief" at the time, and that those experiences shut down your "emotional toolkit".
Kate told Carol she admired her for speaking about how important it is to remember it's okay to be single.
But despite the on-screen over sharing Carol maintains the co-stars forged an ''unlikely friendship by working on the ITV talk show together.
Carol explained: “We are complete and utter opposites in almost everything and it’s strange that I’d see her as a friend.''
And she says some of her biggest arguments have been with Kaye as they 'see the world differently' with their own opinions.
Kate rounded off the topic adding: “But that’s ok, that doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.”
