Coleen Nolan 'never been happier' as she confirms relationship status
Coleen Nolan has admitted she has "never been happier" as she confirmed she is in a new relationship.
The Loose Women star, 58, has a new man in her life after splitting from supermarket worker Michael Jones back in April of 2022 after a year together.
Getting back on the dating scene wasn't easy for Coleen, as she confessed her insecurities held her back.
As she appeared on Loose Women alongside Ruth Langsford, Gloria Hunniford and Jane Moore, she discussed what it is like getting into a new relationship.
Coleen recalled her past romances, where she said if you haven't got an instant connection then the relationship isn't right.

Yet, she candidly admitted that stance held her back following her split with Michael.

"I'm not used to somebody loving me the way you do because I've never believed I have.
"Because I've never been with anyone that has made me feel that 100%."
Coleen added that she has been with people who don't pay her compliments or hold her hand but now she has that and it freaked her out at first.
Coleen said: "Now over the last couple of years I've said you know what just accept it for once in your life and enjoy it.
"It's what you have been looking for and now that I have truly opened myself up to it I have never been happier."
The TV presenter and singer has been through a lot in each of her relationships over the years.
The 58-year-old has been married twice - the first time to EastEnders star Shane Richie and the second to Leeds musician Ray Fensome.
Coleen and Shane were together for many years and even welcomed their first child together, Shane Jr, in 1988.

In 1990, the couple decided to tie the knot by eloping to Florida and two years later, they welcomed their second son, Jake.
However, their relationship was soon plagued with infidelity claims when Shane moved to Manchester on his own to take on the role of Danny Zuko in Grease in 1996.
The couple eventually split in 1999.
Coleen and Ray welcomed daughter Ciara, in June 2001 and became engaged to him four years later.
The duo tied the knot in November 2007 but after two years of marital difficulties, Coleen announced in 2018 that the two were divorcing.
Coleen dipped her toes into the world of online dating after her split from Ray in 2018 as she began dating a supermarket worker Michael Jones - who she met on Tinder.
However, things didn't last too long as they split after a year together.
