Coleen Nolan has made a heartbreaking confession as she celebrates turning 60.

The Loose Women star turns the milestone age on Wednesday but admitted to feeling “a little sad” as she enters this next chapter a single woman and wonders whether she will get the chance to experience love again.

She explained to The Mirror: ‘[I’m] turning 60 as a single woman and, while that’s right for me at this stage, I did have a moment this week of feeling a little sad that I might not get to love again.

“I love being in love and being loved, and I feel I still have a lot to give in that department.”

Nolan revealed last November that she had split from her partner of three years Michael Jones.

She and the supermarket logistics worker first met in 2021 after meeting on Tinder, with the pair gong on to have an on-off relationship in which she dumped him three times.

Despite her current heart vacancy, she has vowed not to return to the world of online dating as she wants any future connection to begin more organically.

She told the publication: “I won’t be doing the dating app thing again – if I do meet someone it’ll be through fate or friends, although I can’t really imagine it, as the only guys I meet in my industry are either too young, married or gay!”

She told OK! Magazine: “We’ve decided that we would rather just stay friends, take it as a friendship, And, you know, it’s nothing to do with anyone else, it’s nobody’s fault.

“But I’m really busy and when I’m not really busy with work I’m busy on the farm and I feel personally that I can’t give time to everything. We still get along great and hopefully we can continue to be friends, who knows?”
