Coleen Nolan burst into tears on today's Loose Women after receiving an emotional message from her son.
The panellist opened up about her childhood and career with The Nolans in a special ‘Life Before Loose’ segment.
Coleen discussed singing from the age of just two-years-old, needing army escorts in Japan and growing up in a big family.
The segment ended with Shane Roche Jr. sending his mum a special message, which left her in tears reaching for the tissues.
In the recording, he said: "Hi mum, it's your oldest best looking child here, Shane.
"I just want to say how great I think you are as a mother and how Loose Women has made you a better mum as you get help off the other ladies.
"I can't think of a better friend or mum who has been there and done everything for us. I think you're amazing."
Coleen, who had expected her son to be rude, immediately started welling up.
Luckily her Loose colleagues, Ruth Langsford, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards, were on hand to pass over the tissues.
Coleen also discussed some of her parts relationship, but failed to mention Shane Jr.'s dad - EastEnders star Shane Richie.
She admitted: “All my relationships were to do with the musicians, my very first love. They were the only people I was ever with, really.”
And of her own children being musical she said: “It is quite strange... I’ve never pushed them to do it. They’ve just grown up with a singing family and they can just sing. I don’t know how that happens. Must be genetic.”
Coleen, who was just two-years-old when she started singing in working mens' clubs, spoke about her singing career.
Speaking of singing with The Nolans, she said: "I was 15 when I joined them full-time. Just before that, from about 13 to 15 I was in a real quandary where I thought, 'I don’t know if I want to'.
"Because I’d been singing since I was 2, I was craving this normality of getting a proper job and being at home with my friends.
"[My dad] was the one that came up and said: ‘Listen, if you don’t want to do this, absolutely don’t do this’. I’d always said I wanted to be a vet, looked into the qualifications and realised I didn’t have a hope in hell."
She also opened on on her childhood and living in a house with eight kids.
She said: “I loved the chaos and the noise. I’ve got nothing but, the majority of times, lovely memories.
“This is going to shock you all, I was very quiet as a child. And that’s why I talk so much now.”
Coleen joked: “I just learnt to sit back and watch.”
