The Loose Women are more than happy to share all the details of their personal lives and it was no different for one panelist.

Saira Khan , 46, opened up about her marriage to husband Steve Hyde and admitted that she has lost all interest in sex and avoids getting intimate with her other half.

Speaking frankly on the daytime show to her other panelists, Saira said she was "deeply embarrassed" that she had lost her sex drive and had even gone so far as giving him permission to sleep with another woman.

She made the surprising confession: "I'm 46, I have a busy life and have two kids. I am so lucky.

"We used to have a fantastic sex life. I still love my husband, we cuddle up and it's lovely. We've been together for 11 years, but I'm not interested [in sex]. I don't want to.

"I've lost the desire and I find myself making excuses from around 6pm. As soon as he comes home, I panic and start saying, "I'm so tired!".

"I'm embarrassed to say this but I said to him you can go with someone else if you want. I want to make him happy. He'll kill me for saying this... Am I the only one?"

But agony aunt Coleen was on hand to reassure Saira that she had plenty of letters asking about similar issues from both men and women, which Saira seemed pleased to hear and hoped opening up about her problems helped others.

Ruth Langsford and Coleen Nolan also shared details of their sex lives and what they got up to on their wedding nights.

Discussing a recent news story where a husband divorced his wife because she was too busy texting on her phone to consummate their marriage, the ladies asked how important it was to have sex on your wedding night.

Coleen Nolan was up first and she wasn't holding back about her romps with husband Ray Fensome: "This may shock you Ruth, [we did it] three times."

She then joked: "Yes, I remember it well because it's the last time we did it..."

For fellow panelist Jane Moore, whose mother was in the audience, she admitted she "couldn't even remember" because she had consumed too much alcohol on the day of her wedding to husband Gary Farrow.

For Ruth, who wed her TV presenter hubby Eamonn Holmes in 2010, she said: "I was enjoying my wedding so much I didn't think about it. I got carried away dancing all night.

"I then I thought I really ought to because it's our wedding night," she then added: "It wasn't our finest one but it was our wedding night.

After Ruth missed out actually taking her husband to their room, Coleen jokingly asked her who it was with. Ruth hit back: "Yes of course with Eamonn!"
