"I was just turning into this person that I've never been before. I was checking receipts, checking phone bills, going to shops and going, 'What was actually bought with this receipt?'.
Coleen and Shane were married for nine years
"I turned into this detective that I've never been and it was all true and I should have listened to my instincts at the beginning but your heart doesn't want to."
When probed by Janet, Coleen added: "I don't regret doing that, but I regret doing it so many times.
"I don't do it now. I've got a new partner now and I don't check up on anything he does," she said, referring to her new boyfriend, Michael Jones.
Coleen's comments come just days after the TV star shared a sweet snap of a recent date night with her current partner. The photo shows the pair sat in a pub while wearing novelty shamrock headbands as they celebrated St Patrick's Day together.
