“Having said that, it’s not easy being naked in front of a bloke when you’re a fat bird. It took me six months to take off my clothes in front of him.
“Of course, I was worried about what he thought. If you’re fat, you become an expert at wrapping a sheet around yourself if there’s sex involved.”
In 2010, Tina lost an incredible amount of weight after having a gastric band fitted.
Does Tina Malone have children with husband Paul?
In 2013, Tina and Paul announced they were expecting a child together after having IVF. They welcomed their daughter, Flame, later that year – when Tina was 50.
Tina is also a mum to her daugher Danielle from a previous relationship.
Tina and Paul had previously spoken about having another baby. Speaking in 2017, Tina told Loose Women: “There are eight embryos already there [in Cyprus] from when we had Flame. We originally went over to get rid of them so other people can store and my surgeon said, ‘You are fit enough, healthy enough, wise enough hopefully now, and you would like another one.’
“I’d have another three – I love kids.”
Meanwhile, during the appearance, Tina said she wanted another baby so Paul wouldn’t be left alone. She said: “If I drop dead tomorrow, through health or whatever, I don’t really want him left. I’d rather him have two children, I say to him, you’re 19 years younger than me, I don’t want him left with one child, if we could have two it would be wonderful.”
Why did Tina Malone and Paul Chase briefly split?
In 2019, Tina and Paul announced they were separating. At the time, she said on social media: “With great sadness I wrote this, myself and Paul have split up after 11 years together!”
However, within just months, the pair reunited and rekindled their romance. Speaking to Closer in 2020, Tina said: “The love never went away. We’re working on things now. Our problems were compounded by depression, but I’ve learned that, in tough times, you have to pull together and not apart.
“Paul and I had always had a great sex life but were barely touching each other. At one point, we didn’t have sex for five months.”
