Although Coleen was hurt by his decision, she admitted she couldn’t ‘say a bad thing about him’.

She added upon reflection ‘he probably was a bit scared that he couldn’t adapt to my lifestyle’.

The Celebrity Big Brother star went public with the romance last year after meeting her new man on a dating app but she decided to keep his identity a secret. 

Despite their eight-year age gap Coleen revealed that they had a lot in common.

Detailing the situation on Loose Women last month, Coleen explained her pal Claire had been chatting to a ‘gorgeous’ teacher online, however alarm bells started ringing after he cancelled face-to-face plans for the third time.

To make up for his unreliability, Claire’s online suitor sent her a bottle of her favourite perfume, but was shocked when she noticed a woman’s reflection in the bottle.

Coleen told her Loose Women co-hosts in full: ‘One of my really good friends Claire, she’d been online dating and she was really desperate to meet somebody. 

‘And she started talking to this guy, and she showed me his picture and I was like, “Oh my god he’s gorgeous” and he was a teacher and he was 35 and he was just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

‘She was talking to him as well on the phone all day. He was the last person she spoke to at night, first thing in the morning.

‘And then she said I’m meeting him next week. Anyway, the next day he couldn’t come [because] he got held up at school.’  

Coleen added: ‘This went on. By the second one, there was another excuse. By the third one, there was another excuse. And eventually I said to her, “Claire I’m not sure. He’s a bit too good to be true and he’s let you down three times now.'”

Desperate to make it up to Claire, her online suitor sent her a sweet gift.

Coleen explained: ‘And he sent her a picture saying, “If I didn’t like you why would I have bought you this?”

‘And he’d bought her a bottle of her favourite perfume. And then she said “look closely at the picture.”  

‘And this person had caught their own reflection. It wasn’t even a male. It was a female.’

ITV obscured the catfish’s identity.

Coleen also revealed that her friend was able to track down the man whose photo was being used, telling her fellow panellists that he was completely unaware his identity had been stolen.

‘When Claire got in touch with the actual guy whose picture it was he was like “I don’t know anything about it,'” Coleen said.
