Loose Women favourite Coleen Nolan disclosed further information about her mystery boyfriend, revealing he is almost 10 years her junior.
The 55-year-old went public with her new relationship in December, confirming that she was seeing someone on the ITV chat show.
In spite of keeping his identity a secret, she revealed that the pair had met on a dating app in September, later speaking about trying to keep the flame alive in lockdown.
Although the couple are struggling to meet in person, they’ve enjoyed getting to know each other over the phone and it seems they have a lot on common, despite the eight-year age gap.

Speaking to The Mirror, Coleen admitted the pair were not phased by the difference in age but did confess she’d wondered whether she may be “too old for him”.
She explained: “I have moments of worrying I’m a bit too old for him.
“He’s divorced with children, as am I, so we have a lot in common.”

Coleen added: “You can be an old soul at 30 and find people of your own age tiresome or a younger 50 who’s still keen to party and is better suited to someone younger.”
For the TV star, it wasn’t the early stage in the relationship that was a cause for concern, but the role an age gap might play in years to come.
She went on: “I suppose my insecurity with dating someone a lot younger would be that he’d get to a point where he thought I was too old for him or that I’d start to feel old because I was with someone so much younger.”
Coleen was previously married to Eastenders star Shane Ritchie with the pair parting ways in 1997
Coleen previously hit headlines after she confessed that her new relationship with the unknown 47-year-old had faced a lot of strain during the coronavirus lockdown.
In her weekly newsletter for The Mirror, Coleen told readers that she had in fact met her man online on a dating app.
Shane Ritchie’s ex penned: “Luckily, I did find someone I really like online – the challenge now is how on earth to keep the relationship going when we can’t meet up.”
The Nolan sister surprisingly explained that she wasn’t up for using other technologies such as Zoom because being on video made her feel self-conscious.
She continued: “I’ve got to admit, I’m not one for endless FaceTime calls – I’m not ready for him to see me in my trackie bottoms just yet and, believe it or not, I feel quite self-conscious on video calls.”
