    Courteney was joined by David for the bizarre radio show in which she confessed her ex was so ‘sex-obsessed’ he even tried to sleep with her while comforting her over the death of her father.

    'It was really not the place for it. It was early in the morning,’ the actress said in the interview, which seemed to turn into something of a therapy session for the pair.

    Slamming reports of romances with several of her Cougar Town co-stars, Courtney criticised her ex for revealing he had tried to win her back during a recent trip to Disneyland.

    'I was like, "David you know what, you're 39, you look great, you know you're probably going to find someone named Tiffany or Britney or something.'’

    'I don't know what's going to happen,’ she said. ‘I'm sure this decision needs to be made at some point, we're getting along so well, I hate to rock the boat.
