Coleen Nolan opens up on 14-year age gap with new boyfriend Ryan Brockbank

Coleen Nolan has opened up on her new relationship as the Loose Women panel discussed age gaps in relationships.

The 61-year-old, who is dating Ryan Brockbank, revealed the 14-and-a-half year age gap between them and how she was wary at first.

The singer explained that when she went on Celebs Go Dating, she didn't want to date anyone younger than 55.

When asked why, she replied: “My own insecurity, really, I thought they wouldn't fancy me anyway because I'm 61 and I'd wonder why they did.

“So there was that insecurity, I didn’t want anyone with younger kids because I've been through the kid thing, and I didn't want anyone who lived miles away, and he's all three of them.”
