Coleen Nolan has revealed she would consider marrying boyfriend Ryan Brockbank, despite previously ruling out another wedding.
The Loose Women star, 61, shared the relationship update during a family discussion on the Nolans Uncensored podcast. Ryan, a 41-year-old fashion lecturer, is 20 years younger than Coleen.
However, daughter Ciara appeared less keen on her mum’s wedding hopes. The 25-year-old gave a blunt verdict as they discussed the prospect of Coleen marrying for a third time.

Coleen explained that meeting Ryan had transformed her view of marriage. She has previously walked down the aisle twice but had not planned to do so again.
Speaking on Nolans Uncensored, she said: “I always said I wouldn’t get married again but I hadn’t met Ryan. He’s what I have been looking for, for probably 50 years.”
Ciara told podcast listeners that her mum now wanted another wedding. She then made her feelings about the idea very clear.
Ciara said: “I actually don’t want to talk about it, it makes me feel a bit sick.”
Coleen quickly offered some reassurance about the possibility of their weddings colliding. She replied: “Don’t worry, we won’t gatecrash yours.”
