Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has revealed that she has split from boyfriend Michael Jones after three years together.
The TV panelist met Michael on Tinder back in 2021 – with a break or two along the way – and in a new interview with OK! magazine, she revealed the reason why it's over for them.
"We've decided that we would rather just stay friends, take it as a friendship," she said. "And, you know, it's nothing to do with anyone else, it's nobody's fault.

"But I'm really busy and when I'm not really busy with work, I'm busy on the farm and I feel personally that I can't give time to everything. We still get along great and hopefully we can continue to be friends, who knows?
"...I'm not going to say it wasn't sad, because of course it was. But I really hope that once that sadness goes away we can continue to be friends.

"I don't regret any of it, it was fabulous. Michael came along at just the right time for me and I think over the last three-and-a-half years we've helped each other grow. I always choose to focus on the times that were great, not the sad ending.

"The last two years of both my marriages were probably horrendous, but equally, the 10 years before were fantastic, so I'd rather focus on that."
The farm Coleen referred to is based in Staffordshire, spanning six acres. She manages it with her daughter Ciara and soon to be son-in-law Max.
Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
