During a discussion on the panel show about the pros and cons of taking a sex break from a partner she said: "Can I just say I've been celibate for two years?"

Back in May she rubbished reports her marriage was in crisis, telling The Sun: "That’s a load of rubbish. We’re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage. We’ve been married 33 years so it’s not going to be all plain sailing, but we’re still together at the moment."

Robson previously sparked speculation after she discussed having two unfaithful partners during a debate on the ITV panel show about being cheated on.

She said: "It’s intuition, it’s happened to me twice.

"Two partners have cheated on me, and both times I’ve known something was wrong in the relationship and I’ve confronted them and they’ve always denied it.

"Until eventually one of their friends or one of your friends says, ‘Do you know that this has been happening behind your back?’."

Robson was with long-term partner Tony Tyler for 11 years and he is the father of her eldest child Lauren.

She said previously: “I caught my ex several times cheating on me, even when I was pregnant with Lauren.

“I’d found letters, I’d followed him. I was waiting outside the house and he went into this girl’s house.”

The couple split when Lauren was three-years-old and the actor and TV presenter married Dunford in 1990.

Robson suffered a breakdown after being diagnosed with depression in 2018 and was prescribed medication that made her feel worse.

She was absent from Loose Women between 2018 and 2020 and became addicted to alcohol.
