Shane Richie and Coleen Nolan had an awkward moment on ITV earlier today (November 6) after This Morning and Loose Women crossed over.
The actor was on This Morning to discuss his upcoming EastEnders storyline with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley and hinted that his character Alfie Moon could be about to get together with his ex-wife Kat Slater, played by Jessie Wallace.

He then made a joke about Loose Women, which his own ex-wife Coleen has been a panellist on since 2000.
He quipped about his appearance on This Morning today: “Great to be on This Morning! It was either that or Loose Women and I only watch Loose Women now to see what I’m up to… those who know, know.”
Ben chuckled and Shane asked: “You got it, didn’t you?” with Ben adding: “I definitely get it, don’t worry about that.”
Later, as the interview came to a finish, Ben and Cat ventured over to the Loose Women studio to find out what would be coming up on today’s show.
Host Charlene White confirmed to Shane that they wouldn’t be talking about him as she stood alongside co-stars Coleen, Judi Love, and Brenda Edwards.
Actor Shane could be heard saying, “what have I done now?” and “I remember her,” as the hosts returned to the This Morning studio.
As This Morning returned to the studio, Shane said: “Four lovely ladies.”
Host Ben then said: “Shane, that’s enough now.” Shane quipped: “Okay, I’m going now!”
Viewers branded the moment “awkward” on social media as one said on X: “Haha awkward lol.”
