Coleen Nolan's son, former Emmerdale star Jake Roche, has branded himself a "failure" as he revealed he is currently living in his mum's garage amid the cost of living crisis.
The star said he is living off Universal Credit, a far cry from the fame and fortune lifestyle he once lived.
Jake, who previously appeared on the ITV soap for a number of months in 2010, where he played Hannah Barton's friend Isaac Nuttal, enjoyed a successful career in music as the lead singer of the band Rixton.

The band became increasingly popular, charting at number 1 with their hit, Me and My Broken Heart.
However, the 30-year-old, who is the son of actor Shane Richie and his then-wife, singer and television personality Coleen Nolan, now deems himself a 'failure' after his entertainment career was put on hold.
Jake, who was previously engaged to former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, shared his thought on TikTok after one user asked him what he was up to these days.
To which the former soap star replied: "I'm on Universal Credit, and I live with my mum in her garage. I'm a failure."
However, the kind TikTok user was quick to comfort Jake, insisting that he was far from a failure.
"Firstly, I'd like to say you are not a failure," they replied. "Everyone goes through hardships in life, and you will get through yours."
Jake then smiled before saying: "Thank you, you are a legend."
Coleen Nolan's son has also appeared in the BBC musical film Rules of Love and ITV drama Scott and Bailey.
Prior to his singing career, Jake did take a small role in Emmerdale in 2010 but bristles at the thought that being the son of 'Alfie Moon' gave him a leg up.
He said previously: "When I was auditioning, they didn't know who my parents were, and I'd also auditioned twice before, so they obviously didn't care about that, or they wouldn't have turned me down."
