Coleen Nolan has always been an open book, which is undoubtedly why she's so loved by her fans.
And when we catch up with her on an otherwise dull Monday morning, the star quickly brightens up our day with her witty humour, honesty and positive outlook on life.
Now, fans are also able to see her up close and personal, as she's currently on her first solo tour, Music, Life & Laughter, which is travelling around the UK until 28 March.
Here, Coleen tells Woman why the tour has become a family affair, how she's supporting close friend Linda Robson through her marriage split and why she's considering making boyfriend Michael Jones sign a prenup!
Hi Coleen! What made you decide to go on tour?
I kind of mentioned it as, 'I think I'd regret it if I don't ever get to sing again or perform live on stage, and then everyone just ran with it. I was like, 'Guys, it was just a joke.' But here we are. The nerves are making me feel alive again.
What are your pre- and postshow rituals?
My pre-show ritual will probably be on the toilet and my after-show ritual will be drinking as much rum as I can possibly find in that moment! Me and my sisters didn't really have rituals before we went on stage - we just went on and did it.
Is Michael coming on tour with you?
