ITV Loose Women's Coleen Nolan makes 'freaked out' claim as she's 'back with Tinder ex'

Coleen Nolan said she is a happier than ever as sources claim she is back with her Tinder ex.

The Loose Women panellist met Michael Jones on the dating app in 2021. She went public with her relationship with him seven months later and said she was even considering marriage.

However, they hit a stumbling block and split up in July 2022. Coleen revealed on the popular programme last week that she is no longer single. The 58-year-old said it has taking her a while to get used to her partner being romantic.

She said: "With the person who I'm with now, it has taken a longer time. It's my fault because I keep thinking I'm not used to this. I'm not used to someone loving me the way you do.

"I've never been with anyone that's made me feel that 100%. I'd accepted that I'm just super romantic and I want everything to be like a film but it's not and that's why they don't hold my hand or they're not bothered or don't pay me compliments.

"Now I've met someone now that does, at first it freaked me out and over the last couple of years, I've said just accept it. For once in your life and enjoy it because it's what you've been looking for. Now I've truly opened myself up to it, I've never been happier."

A source has now told OK! that Coleen is back with Michael as they said: "They are just taking things slowly, not labelling it, and just seeing what happens. Coleen and Michael have been on and off since they broke up last year. In fact, you could say they didn’t completely call it off at all.

"They spoke to each other almost every other day but hadn’t put a label on it. They weren’t officially together as a couple but they were still in each other’s lives.

"Now Coleen has spoken out about her relationship on Loose [Women], it suggests she is ready to admit to herself, and others, that they are official again.

"Coleen has often struggled with her confidence in relationships, but as she said herself, now she has truly opened herself up, she has never been happier. It is lovely to see her feeling this way." Michael appeared on Loose Women with Coleen in January last year.

She swooned over Michael on the episode as she said: "He is the most laid back, calm, takes everything in his stride kind of guy I've ever met. He's just really gentle and lovely - and brings such calm to my very hectic life."
