Kelly Holmes shocked the panel as she made a shocking confession during Loose Women on Tuesday.
The Olympic runner was joined by hosts Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and Gloria Hunniford as they discussed the topic of bladder control.
While the conversation started with the presenters talking about how often they urinate, it soon took a different turn as Kelly made a shocking confession regarding her public bowel movements.
The sportswoman, 53, confessed that as a runner she often falls victim to ‘runner’s wee and runner’s poo’ and has been forced to poo outside mid-run.
Opening up to the panel, Kelly was shocked to hear Brenda only goes to the toilet twice a day, as she disagreed: ‘No I have to go and I am a runner as well so you do runner’s wees and runner’s poos.’

As Coleen Nolan looked horrified, she exclaimed: ‘What while you are running?’
Kelly then replied: ‘No, but not being funny if I need to go I need to go. Not in a race, not in a race I won’t mention her name,’ as she referred to Paula Radcliffe’s famous unfortunate toilet stop during the London Marathon.
She continued: ‘But if I am getting ready for a race training then yeah I will just find a dock leaf or whatever there is get the little stick and I just push it around.
‘If you have to go you have to go. Water or a mocha will just go straight through me.’
As the panel went wild after hearing the revelation, Brenda probed: ‘I want to know what you are doing with that stick?’
Kelly then explained that in a normal toilet setting she is very particular about cleanliness, and the same applies when doing her business outside as she explained she uses the stick to tidy up the area before and after herself.
She added: ‘I clean my area, I go to the toilet and then a pile it up again.’
Yet Kelly’s pals continued to turn their noses up at her actions and failed to understand her running struggle.

Exasperated she asked the audience: ‘Are there no other runners here?’ to which she was met by laughter rather than the support she was hoping for

Meanwhile there were confessions all round as Brenda also admitted she only goes to the toilet twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
‘I will go in the morning and I will go in the evening when I get home and I am not bothered about going in between.’
The panel were also left shocked by Brenda’s revelation as Coleen joked: ‘Are you a camel?’ before asking: ‘But you don’t hold it?’
‘No, I don’t hold it in, I just don’t feel to go, until I am in the car and I am about two minutes away from home and suddenly it’s like “It’s coming it’s coming”
‘But I haven’t wanted to go for five minutes before it’s really weird. I think I have just trained my mind’.
