Coleen Nolan has revealed that her son, Shane, ‘f***ed up’ his marriage to Miss Great Britain star Maddie Wahdan amid a secret battle with drug addiction. The 36-year-old singer, who Coleen shares with ex-husband Shane Richie, split from the beauty queen in December 2023 amid reports he had been unfaithful – just a year after they had tied the knot.

Now, Shane has opened up about his battle with drug addiction at the time, which saw him be admitted to rehab as his family feared for his life. Speaking about the ordeal for the first in a new video for her YouTube channel, Loose Women star Coleen, 60, said told her son, ” It might be a great high for however long but you were broke, you got into a lot of debt, as everyone does with addiction. Relationships, you f***ed your marriage basically.”

At the time of Shane’s split from Maddie, it was reported that Coleen was been upset’ and ‘disappointed’ over the split, with sources claiming it was like ‘history repeating itself’ after his father cheated on Coleen back in the 90s. Now, he is in a new relationship with girlfriend Kimberly Sallis, and revealed earlier this month they are expecting their first child together.

Crediting Kimberly for helping him through the drug addiction, Shane said in the video, “I think I’ve had to grow up. I’ve got a girlfriend who has helped me through it massively, we’re starting a family now.”

Admitting that his hectic work schedule led to the addiction starting, the singer explained, “The constant moving, the travelling all of the time, having to be on stage until 11 o’clock at night, so the only way to pick yourself up is to [do drugs].

“I’d have a three day bender but I wasn’t [doing drugs] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It probably would have got to that. I was splitting up, I was going through a tough time work wise, I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” he continued.

For Coleen, the situation had her fearing her son may not make it, as she recalled there was a ‘breaking point’ before he was admitted to a rehab centre.

“I remember when the time came that you passed out and split your head open early in the morning. He split his head open and got eight staples, or whatever it is, in his head. That was my breaking point, if this doesn’t wake him up, he will… I kept saying, ‘He’s going to die’,” she told Shane in the video.

Blaming herself, Coleen continued, ““From a mother’s point of view, I just felt I’d done something wrong. I really blamed me for all of it. People kept saying, ‘You have to talk to him, you have to do this’ and I couldn’t. I thought, ‘I’m really failing on all levels though’.

“So, when you split your head open, I thought the next call could be, ‘He’s overdosed’. I just remember thinking, ‘I’ve just failed him and I can’t take this pain away from him’, If I could’ve taken it for myself I would’ve.”

Now, with Shane sober and set to welcome a new baby, Coleen says the family can finally relax: “It’s only until recently we’ve all just relaxed. The difference for me now, is you’re just nicer to be around. I didn’t dread you coming around, but I kind of did. I don’t know, it was horrible.”
