"So we're going to stay on the topic of guilt and especially mum guilt because I think it happens more with women," The ITV host explained.

"We have this in-built guilt from the moment that baby is put in our arms, no-one warned me about the guilt that you feel and I've always felt guilty; when I've gone out to work, being away from home.

"But then I though as they got older I wouldn't feel guilty anymore, but do you know what guys, it doesn't leave you. I do feel very liberated that I'm having a holiday on my own, it's great, I'm thinking about myself and I'm putting a brave face on it because actually I'm riddled with guilt."

Coleen's son Shane has made many appearances on the Loose women panel 

She added: "My 21-year-old daughter is at home with her boyfriend, probably can't wait for me to go. I'm there thinking I shouldn't really leave her, what if this happens, what if that happens. It just never leaves you and it really really annoys me. And although empty nest syndrome feels ok now, this bloody guilt is just with me every day so tell me… does it ever go away?"

Fans flocked to the comments section to leave messages for the star. One far wrote: " Nope. Even when they leave home and I go on holiday knowing they haven't had a break for whatever reasons, yes the guilt hits. I think should I have invited them with us, I'm only going to Anglesey in the caravan!"

A second added: "Col, I think you're amazing and funny, love your topics." A third agreed with the star and said: "Mum guilt is the worst."
