Loose Women's Jane Moore has candidly revealed what it's like to suddenly find yourself living alone after the end of her two-decade marriage.
Jane parted ways with her spouse Gary Farrow at the end of 2022. Despite feeling positive about her decision to leave her showbiz agent husband, she's encountered an unexpectedly "weird" side effect of divorce that ha caught her off guard.
Chatting with Coleen Nolan on the Loose Women podcast, Jane revealed that she doesn't have a TV in her new home, which can leave the house feeling strangely quiet.
She admitted: "One of the things I've noticed I've started to do is I'm talking to myself, which is what my mum used to do. I've found myself saying things out loud just to hear a voice...it sounds a bit weird."
At 62, Jane finds herself often alone with her thoughts as her children have flown the nest. "I just stare at the wall," she told Coleen.

Although she's perfectly happy with her choice to end the ,marriage and strike out alone, Jane still feels as if she hasn't completely settled into in her new place yet.
She said: "It's sad, isn't it? It doesn't feel quite like home yet because I haven't got a TV yet."
Jane also reflected on the loneliness that can accompany single life but insisted she wouldn't "settle" for an imperfect match simply for companionship. "There are a lot of people I know who are single and don't like being single because they want to be part of a relationship," she said.

Jane added: "I see some friends who are, I think, in relationships that maybe aren't right for them just because they don't want to be on their own."
Coleen agreed, revealing that her marriage to musician Ray Fensome had reached a point where passion was scarce, and they were essentially staying together out of habit.
Coleen said she tried to broach the subject with her husband: "I remember saying to him 'Why don't you want us to split up?' Because we were living like lodgers in the same house.And he said 'Well, that's what happens when you with someone for a long time'... and he couldn't be bothered with the hassle of [splitting up]."

"Immediately I thought, 'I'm not settling just because I'm in my mid 50s and people think I should'." Despite their divorce, Coleen and Ray spent Christmas together. Reflecting on their relationship, she mused: "More than three-quarters of our marriage was fabulous and we have a beautiful daughter. I think it's more important to focus on that.
"We've managed to revert to what we probably should have been all along – great friends. We've rekindled our friendship, and the things that would've annoyed me when we were married don't anymore, because I can walk away. I think it's the same for Ray."
