Denise Richards has admitted she has a "weakness" for passionate men.

The actress, who is currently filming her reality show 'Denise Richards: It's Complicated', recently talked about her former loves Charlie Sheen, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and actor John Stamos.

Denise, who is the mother of two, revealed; "I admit I have a weakness for guys that have dark hair and are passionate in bed, what is wrong with that?

John Stamos didn't want to be with a woman who had children so that's like out the door. We had a good time though!"

She also claims she has never dated half the men she was at one time ronatically linked to and that list includes Scott Baio and Patrick Muldoon.

Denise also defended her decision to allow her children to be filmed for her reality show, which didn't sit well with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

She said; "If I have my kids on my show, I'm exploiting them. If I don't, people will think I'm not a hands on mom. That's why it's very important to me that the girls are a part of it."

Meanwhile, Denise admitted she once fired a nanny after she criticised the father on her children.

Despite her divorce and custody battle with Charlie, the actress insists that no one is allowed to speak ill of him when around her daughters Sam and Lola.

She said; "I actually fired a nanny once, for bashing Charlie in front of the girls. Charlie is their dad, so if I insult their father it's an insult to them. I don't want them ever to feel torn between the two of us."
