She's got her first solo tour to look forward to, a steady job on Loose Women and her children are grown-up. It's finally time for Coleen Nolan to focus on herself, but it appears the star is struggling with this new chapter.
Coleen, 58, has admitted that she still suffers from 'mum guilt' and is finding it tough now her kids are flying the nest. The singer, who has sons Shane, 35, and Jake, 31, as well as daughter Ciara, 22, said, 'Empty nest is a real thing, who knew? Whether we like it or not, mum guilt is a thing, even though it shouldn't be. I still have it now when I'm absent, even though my kids are adults."
Midlife challenges
She's been a mum for over half her life and with her youngest, Ciara, heading off travelling in the new year, it seems Coleen is finding it difficult to accept that her offspring need her less these days. When the children were younger I thought I'd be thrilled when they became independent. But it's the opposite. I've been feeling so redundant, like I don't have a purpose any more,' she said.
