Loose Women star Coleen Nolan, who celebrated her 59th birthday yesterday, has faced numerous ups and downs. Both she and her sons have experienced their fair share of challenges.
The well-known ITV panel member often talks about her family's trials and tribulations on the show, including health issues, romantic entanglements and the realities of being a mother to three children.

"I love them both and I always will. It's always extremely sad when something doesn't work out it's always sad for both parties," she said.

But she's doing great. I mean, she's Miss GB, she's beautiful and she's a great person, and she's got nothing to worry about. She'll fly."
Shane isn't the only one of Coleen's children to have been in the spotlight recently. Jake Roche, a former Emmerdale star, revealed in 2022 that he was
