Coleen Nolan 'heartbroken' as her son Jake Roche makes big announcement

Loose Women panelist Coleen Nolan said she's 'heartbroken' after her son Jake Roche made a 'life-changing' decision about his career.

Coleen's 30-year-old son Jake, who she shares with ex partner Shane Richie, has decided to step away from his band Push Baby - leaving some fans heartbroken over the shock news, writes The Mirror.

The singer and his bandmate Charley Bagnal made the announcement on their official Instagram account. It read: "Legends, we've both been mulling over how best to communicate this for the past few weeks now. However, we feel being completely transparent is the only way. We're going to take a break from push baby."

Jake went on: "It's hard to fully convey what you, our fans, have meant to us over the years. We can't even put it into words. You've been with us through it all".

After the shock news was announced, Coleen took to her own Instagram to share her heartbreak. The 57-year-old re-posted Jake's statement alongside a number of broken-hearted emojis.

The bombshell announcement comes as a shock to many as just last month, Jake had promoted the band's tour all over his social media sites.

The 30-year-old shared the news of his tour after he made a self-deprecating comment about life as a singer. In a TikTok video, Jake harshly dubbed himself a 'failure' as he admitted to having money woes.

The star, who also briefly starred in ITV soap Emmerdale, said: "I'm on Universal Credit, and I live with my mum in her garage. I'm a failure."

In 2013, Jake joined band Rixton and they initially sang cover versions of famous songs such as Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.

But their debut single, Me and My Broken Heart, saw them reach the top of the charts in the UK, Australia and Sweden in 2014.

The group went on to tour across the world and it was when they attended Capital FM's Summertime Ball, that Jake met Little Mix's Jesy Nelson, who he later proposed to in 2015.

But the following year they called time on their relationship. That same year, Rixton embarked on a four-year hiatus. When they returned in 2019, the band announced that they were retiring their name and rebranding as Push Baby. They initially signed to Republic Records and released their first song, Mama's House, in April that year.
