Coleen Nolan has made no secret of the fact she struggles with confidence in romantic relationships after suffering betrayal and heartbreak at the hands of her exes. Now, as she prepares to move in with Michael Jones, the boyfriend she met on Tinder in 2020, a source has exclusively told new that her insecurities may be bubbling up to the surface again.

“There’s a little bit of fear of moving in together from Coleen,” our source claimed. “They’re a great couple, but it’s just the fear that when someone’s over-nice, you think, ‘I’m not used to this.’”

Coleen, 58, and Michael, 57, went public with their relationship in January last year, but split up six months later, with the Loose Women favourite admitting she was “freaked out” and “not used to” a partner showing affection.

But this June they announced they’d rekindled their romance and Coleen said she had “never been happier”.

Our source said, “She needed time to think about the other side – when the partner’s not being faithful. She’s had all that with Shane [Richie, her ex-husband], but realised Michael wouldn’t treat her that way.

“Sometimes you don’t realise you like to be loved, and I think that is definitely the case with Coleen. And the kids are supportive and like him.”

Following her reunion with Michael, Coleen couldn’t hide her happiness as she shared the news with her loyal Loose Women audience.

“I’ve never been with anyone who’s made me feel that 100%,” she said. “Now that I have truly opened myself up to it, I have never been happier.”
