She's been in a happy relationship with Robbie Williams for ten years.

But Ayda Field has admitted she's glad she didn't meet her husband when he was in his twenties, during a frank discussion on her show Loose Women on Thursday.

The presenters were talking about the news that Hollywood star Johnny Depp is divorcing his younger wife Amber Heard, when Ayda, 37, explained that she thinks timing is everything when it comes to a happy marriage.

All about timing: Ayda Field has admitted she's glad she didn't meet her husband Robbie Williams when he was in his twenties, during a frank discussion on her show Loose Women on Thursday

Ayda, who met Robbie, now 42, when she was 27 and he was 32 in 2006, explained that she thinks meeting the right person at the right time in life is the key to a successful relationship. 

'I do think that timing is really important in relationships,' she told her co-hosts. 'Rob and I talked about this. Why didn't we meet when were in our twenties, I had to date all those losers before him!'

She added that she thinks her former boybander husband, who has had a history of alcoholism and substance abuse problems, would have done something to ruin their relationship if they had met earlier in life.

'He would have completely screwed it up, he would have been off his face, he would have cheated, that's the tip of the iceberg really! He would have ruined it.'

'We wouldn't be married with kids, it was meant to be this way,' she determined. 'For a relationship to work you have to want the same thing at the same time.'

Having her say on the split between Johnny, 52, and Amber Heard, 30, Ayda continued: 'Amber wants to go out and party, and Johnny wants to stay at home with his friends and be weird - it's not going to work!'

'But more than age difference, I think more of danger in relationships is when you get together with someone really young when you're 16, 18, you're a completely different person than when you're 30.'

Ayda and Robbie married in at his home in Beverly Hills in 2010, before welcoming their first child - daughter Theodora Rose 'Teddy' Williams - in September 2012.

Their son Charlton Valentine was born on October 27, 2014.

Elsewhere on Thursday's Loose Women, the panellists revealed that they had all taken part in a self-confidence exercise the night before, where they stripped naked in front of the mirror and talked through their body.

Ayda was heard in her recording, played back for the show, lamenting her post-baby body, explaining: 'I think if I had known what happens you when you have kids I would have had a goodbye party for my tummy!'

She also revealed that her husband 'lovingly refers to her breasts as Picasso boobs since I breastfed,' explaining: 'When you have kids you have the same pieces of the puzzle, but the pieces go together slightly different!'
