Coleen Nolan’s son Jake Roche has revealed he is about to become a father – with the bundle of joy due to arrive in just days.

The 32-year-old singer – who is the son of 59-year-old Loose Women star Coleen Nolan and EastEnders icon Shane Richie, 60 – is expecting his first child with his partner, Georgia. Jake is the lead singer of a band called Push Baby – formerly known as Rixton – but has also stretched his creative wings in the world of acting.

He found critical praise for his stage show Neporrhoids which is a one-man show about his rise and fall in the music world. The show was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was due to transfer to the Pleasance Theatre in London later this month – but he has now cancelled his dates and moved them to January 17 and 18 after he had a sudden change in family matters.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, he announced in a statement: “Due to an unexpected yet exciting family development, I’ve decided to reschedule my upcoming November shows – 21/22/23. My partner and I are expecting the arrival of our little one around that time (sooner than we thought), and I want to be fully present to support her and our growing family.”

The star continued: “All tickets will be transferred over to the new date in January or refunded. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Here’s to the future of Nepo Babies!” He also added in a further caption to the statement: “New show link is in my bio. Hope to see you there.”

The news was met with a wall of support from fans who rushed to congratulate him on his family update. One follower wrote: “Big congrats to you Jake!” However, another joked: “You don’t need to make something up just because you’re bored of doing the show.” Another follower urged the star to delay his performance dates even further as they predicted he would be tired from parenting. They wrote: “Jake please do it late in january as back from my own promotional tour of gender equality in india on 26th jan! seeing emma for lunch tomorrow and thinking of you and georgia and sending love!”

Jake’s mum Coleen revealed how excited she is about the news – which she learned of herself following a week full of family surprises. She had already been delighted by the early return of her daughter Ciara and her fiancé from their travels, her sister Maureen’s 70th birthday party and her sister Denise’s wedding. The Nolan Sisters star said: “The cherry on the cake was a visit from my son Jake and his partner Georgia.

“I can finally reveal that I’m going to be a grandmother again, as they’re expecting a baby at the end of the year. On Saturday, a few of us got together at my house for the gender reveal and, just as I said, ‘I think it’s a boy’, Jake let off the confetti gun and turned the living room blue. I couldn’t be more thrilled about having a grandson.”
