Coleen Nolan Receives Huge Support After Sharing an Emotional Update on Her Love Life Following a Painful Breakup

Coleen Nolan has shared that she is back on the dating scene, aged 60, after her recent heartbreak. The Loose Women star broke up with boyfriend Michael Jones last year after three years together.

The couple reportedly ended their romance due to Coleen’s hectic schedule creating a number of obstacles in their love life. Before their relationship, Coleen had been married twice. Her first marriage was to EastEnders star Shane Richie, which lasted nine years after they tied the knot in 1990. They have two sons together, Jake and Shane. After their separation, she found love again with actor Ray Fensome, with whom she shares a daughter. However, their marriage ended in 2018. Now, she is putting herself back out there, hoping to find a brand new beau – with the support of her family.

On her YouTube channel, Coleen shared a video of her getting ready to go on a date with an unnamed potential suitor. She started the clip by saying that it was “a little bit embarrassing,” as she added: “I’m 60 years old but I feel like a 16-year-old because I’m mortified and giggly.”

She explained that a part of her “felt sick” about dating as she reiterated that she was “mortified”. Speaking to her daughter, Keira, Coleen said that she has been using the dating apps, but has “run out” of matches.

The TV presenter added: “There was loads. But I swiped all of them. But I have met one guy on here and he’s nice and he’s the one I’m going to see today.”

Her daughter joked that she liked a “bad boy” before poking more fun by saying: “That’s why you’re 60 and single!” Coleen hit back as she said: “Yeah, but it’s not like I’ve got to 60 and never met anyone. I’ve had great relationships and marriages.”

Keira continued with the digs, as she replied: “Yeah, but… they’ve not lasted!” Coleen soon revealed that she was going for a coffee date in a bar before trying out a few different outfits, hoping to get her kids’ opinions.

She settled on wearing a blouse with some black trousers as she said: “It looks like I’ve tried but I’ve not tried too hard.”
