Sherrie Hewson has admitted that it would be ‘very difficult’ to find a new romance after being on her own for so long.
Although the former Coronation Street star, 69, has joked that she would ‘be there’ if a ‘young Robert Redford or a Clint Eastwood’ came along.
The Loose Women star separated from her ex-husband Ken Boyd in 2001 after he admitted to having an affair but they only divorced ten years later in 2011.

However despite her numerous on-screen romances, Sherrie revealed that she declined the Channel 4 reality show Celebrity First Dates Hotel because she would be ‘too embarrassed’ to turn someone down.
The Benidorm actress said she ‘doesn’t know’ if she would agree to do the show if asked by producers again but revealed that everyone told her to sign up when she was first approached.
But Sherrie, who starred on Loose Women for 14 years until 2016, said it would be ‘difficult’ for her to have a new romance after being settled on her own ‘for so long’.

Sherrie, who revealed she had found love again with a mysterious new man in 2017 which sadly did not work out, expressed her doubt that it may be ‘far too late’ for sparks to fly again.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I just don’t know who I would meet and who would put up with me.
‘I don’t think I’d stand any-one being in the same house as me. Maybe it’s far too late for somebody like me.’
It comes after Sherrie revealed she started to drink ‘too much’ at the start of lockdown after her brother Brett Hutchinson, 71, passed away from an incurable brain tumour in April this year, following a battle with pneumonia.

Sherrie told that she quit drinking for ‘six weeks’ and now occasionally enjoys a glass of wine but has ‘kind of knocked it on the head’.
She said: ‘I was drinking because of my brother’s death. I thought, ‘If you can disappear, you can forget.’
Back in April, Sherrie expressed her fear that she would never see her terminally ill brother again due to the coronavirus pandemic.
At the time, Brett was in hospital fighting his brain tumour, and due to the threat of the virus, she wasn’t able to visit him.

Appearing on Loose Women earlier this month, the grieving actress spoke about how her daughter Keeley, 36, has been her ‘rock’.
Sherrie told the panel: ‘It’s been the hardest thing ever and I was completely broken.
‘It’s been very weird, lockdown has been weird anyway. The last two weeks of his life I wasn’t allowed to go and visit him.
‘Then the day he actually died, my nieces’ husband rang me to say ‘you need to come’.’
Sherrie continued: ‘ I did insist on going to the funeral, in wales 20 people were allowed to go to funerals, so I did go. I broke down and couldn’t cope.
Aside from her struggle with losing her brother, Sherrie has been keeping busy with her new YouTube chat show, Wonderbirds, which also stars Harriet Thorpe, Dee Anderson and Debbie Arnold.
The show, which has garnered more than two million views in 12 weeks, features celebrity guests including Gok Wan and Paul O’Grady.
Sherrie revealed the idea came from Debbie who thought they should share their Zoom chats online after TV studios were closed during lockdown.
MailOnline has contacted Sherrie’s representatives for comment.
