It comes after Ciara’s mum Coleen previously revealed that she was struggling with empty nest syndrome earlier this year after her daughter decided to go travelling. Admitting she “can’t stop crying”, she told her ITV co-stars Ruth Langsford, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson that her daughter has booked a one-way ticket out of the UK.

Coleen, who is also a mum to Shane, 35, and Jake, 31, explained her daughter has been planning this trip for two years with her partner, but the couple have not agreed a return date. She said: “They’ve worked really hard and saved up and I’m so proud of them both and her, but honestly, I just can’t stop crying.”

She continued: “But I’m trying not to do it in front of her because I’m thrilled and I’m proud because what an amazing thing to do. But it’s like losing my best friend.” Ruth teased Coleen that she will find it particularly difficult as Ciara helps “run her life”.

Coleen agreed, adding: “She is the mother of the house. My son text me the other day and went, ‘This is going to do you good mum because you need to grow up’.” The singer and Loose Women panellist explained that Ciara helps her out around the house and does a lot of the cooking, helping to ease the pressure at home while Coleen prepares for her upcoming one-woman tour.

“It’s just very stressful,” she said, before adding: “Empty nest syndrome is real.” Janet remarked: “Just speaking for her, she’s got to be allowed to live her own life.”

Coleen replied: “Oh she is being allowed. I don’t have to like it, Janet,” with Janet hitting back: “I know you don’t like it but you have got to grow up a bit Coleen. I never thought I’d say those words. But you have got to manage by yourself.”
