Coleen Nolan has opened up about her sex life after landing herself a lover on Tinder.
The Loose Women panellist appeared on today’s show where she was grilled about this weekend’s reveal that she had found herself a new man.
Speaking openly about her new relationship, Coleen joked a “tiger” had been awoken and she was now having the best sex of her life.
But beyond that it has given her a new lease of life that she wasn’t expecting.
“It’s been really nice for me to know life doesn’t finish because you’re in your mid-50s, or you're menopausal, or you’ve just come out of a long marriage,” Coleen said.
“It can all start again and it’s all out there, and there’s gorgeous people out there and that’s been a real awakening for me.
"To feel attractive again, like a woman again. Like I’m not dead down… anywhere. Which you think you are, you think ‘ah well, I’ve shut up shop!’ But no, shop’s open!”
The new comments come after Coleen exclusively told The Mirror that she had found someone new.
"He’s kind, caring, funny, romantic and the sex is great. He’s awoken something in me.
"He’s awoken a tiger, which I didn’t know was there,” she told us.
"The best thing is that for the first time in my life I know for sure I am with a man because I want to be and not because I feel I need to be."
But the mum of three admits she’s still scared to fully commit to her new relationship because of her previous splits.
Coleen was married to entertainer Shane Richie in 1990, having two her two sons Shane Jr and Jake before they split in 1999 over infidelity.
She went on to marry Ray Fensome, 63, in 2007, with whom she has daughter Ciara. Unfortunately, their relationship ended in 2018.
But now that she’s at a certain age and her kids are grown up, Coleen seems ready to take on the world of love once again, and credits her divorced dad-of-one lover for giving her the boost she needed.
“I’ve certainly got to a point where I don't judge myself mentally or physically for the first time. That has been so empowering and liberating,” she said.
“I went through my second divorce, the menopause and wondered if I’d ever be happy again.
“I have suffered low self-esteem and self-worth but now I am really happy on my own. I don’t need a man to be happy.”
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV.
