Coleen Nolan has been a firm favourite on the Loose Women panel since 2000, so when she was noticeably absent last week fans were left worrying about what was wrong.
However, the 58-year-old broke her silence to issue an update on her well-being, revealing she was "stressed" and had decided to step back from the daytime show for her "mental health".
In a candid Instagram video, where Coleen went make-up free, the mum-of-three said: "Hi everyone. I've had a week off this week. I was getting a bit stressed [with] so many things happening and I just thought, [it's] very important for your mental health to just sometimes go, 'I can't do it this week', and that's what I did.
"Very kindly, Loose Women let me do that and I was really looking forward to it... a nice, chilled-out week, not thinking about anything."
And in a reminder that we should all take a bit of time for self-care, she added, "I also wanted to say, if you're feeling a bit stressed sometimes, and it's only a week, even if it's a couple of days, you just need to take that break and regroup and do normal, everyday things... Remember, think about you sometimes."
Fans were quick to rush to the comment section to show their support for Coleen - but also raise their concerns and worries about what is really going on.
