Reflecting on the entertainment at the caravan site, she added: ‘They used to have a band called The Hut, you’d take all your own beer, you’d all get up and sing a song!’
DJ Melvin Odoom praised Coleen’s grounded character, saying: ‘That girl is down to earth. I think I’m more bouji than Coleen!’
Coleen, Melvin and Alan also shared their experiences of caravan park holidays as children.
Melvin said: ‘My only family holiday when my parents were together was Scarborough at a caravan park and I loved it!’
Alan added: ‘That was pretty much all we did until I was 12. I never went abroad until I was twelve years old.
‘Every year we would go to this farm in the Lake District and it was just a caravan and there were fishing lakes and stuff, and we would go fishing or rock climbing and we would play hide and seek in the hay. bummed and all, it was unbelievable.”
Coleen said of her childhood: ‘We had one when we were kids, my dad bought it for £200 and it didn’t have a toilet so we had a dunny and we called it the p*** pot.
‘We got £50 back when it was demolished, so we got our money’s worth!’

During Monday night’s show, Coleen admitted that husband Wayne asked for her hand in marriage after they called a gas station.
She said: ‘I knew it was going to happen, but I definitely didn’t know it was going to be in a gas station, but I’m glad we didn’t do it in a restaurant, to be honest.’
Revealing the unexpected way the couple celebrated their engagement, she added: “We were only young so we went back and had corned beef hash instead!”
