She described how she had handed over a credit card so her partner did not feel “emasculated” but defended her actions.

She continued: "Before anybody tweets me, I don't want to hear it, I'm telling you now, straight-up and up-front, I don't want to hear it.

"Because until you've walked a mile in that person's shoes you don't know what that experience is, and you don't know what that person has gone through...

"I was young and dumb... Young, dumb and in what I thought was love - but was it really when I look back on it now and when it was so controlling?

"I felt like I was in love, but the kind of control that that person has over you... you feel completely controlled by that person."

Loose Women airs on ITV each week weekday from 12:30pm.
