Coleen broke down as she reflected on the breakdown of her marriage
He would look me right in the eyes and convince me I was wrong
"He would look me right in the eyes and convince me I was wrong. He would make me feel paranoid.
"I remember that feeling of elation when I found out he was having an affair. I went 'Yes, I knew it!' It was feeling of euphoria before the absolute devastation hit me - he still convinced me to stay."
Following the breakdown of their marriage, she went on to wed musician Ray in 2007 but said she fears history will repeat itself.
"I can't bare the thought of it all failing again," Coleen said. "I really love him but I always feel like I'm having a go at him. That's horrible."
