Coleen is all loved-up...

Coleen Nolan has made a playful confession about life with her new toyboy boyfriend, Ryan Brockbank.

The Loose Women panellist, 61, recently confirmed her relationship with Ryan on Instagram. The couple had reportedly dated privately for several months before sharing their romance publicly.

Now Coleen has joked about the effect her 41-year-old partner has had on her hips.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: “My hips are not what they used to be, to be honest – but they are probably better now I’ve met Ryan. They absolutely are!”

No romance for Coleen on Celebs Go Dating

Coleen had struggled to find a romantic connection on Celebs Go Dating in May earlier this year.

Reflecting on rejection during the programme, Coleen told Closer: “My ego was on the floor.”

She added: “It was mortifying when people did not put their hands up [if they wanted you].”

However, Coleen has also spoken positively about the help she received from the show’s dating agents and therapy sessions.

She later said on Loose Women: “I had the best three months of my life, I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Coleen also said she learned to be more transparent in dating on Celebs Go Dating.
