Coleen Nolan has unveiled her new man after swiping right on Tinder - and she reckons they might even get married.
The Loose Women star has kept her mystery lover's identity under wraps until now but says they're ready to step into the spotlight.
The 56-year-old introduced Michael Jones to fans with a joint OK magazine photoshoot and the pair's first ever interview.
The Mirror reports they reveal Michael is a fellow divorcee and the pair discussed how they are enjoying blending their families together, and are even planning to walk down the aisle.
Opening up about their relationship, Coleen has praised Michael, who works in logistics for a supermarket chain, for helping her feel "calm" as well as happy.
Michael shared the apprehension he felt when he decided to swipe right after Coleen flashed up in his Tinder search last summer.
He told the magazine: "It was a bit of a dilemma. You think, 'Am I just swiping because I recognise her?' So I had to think about it and do it for the right reasons – not even for one minute thinking she’d reply anyway. The surprising thing for me was that once I’d swiped we were a match straight away, which meant that she’d already liked me."
Discussing their first date, Michael and Coleen explained that they met for a drink in a pub at 5pm and stayed there downing drinks and getting to know each other until they were finally "kicked out" by staff after 11pm.
The duo then revealed that their respective children had been concerned when neither returned home after just a couple of hours – but Coleen explained to her brood that she "really liked" Michael by the time she finally got home.
The Loose Women star has three kids of her own – sons Shane Jr, 33, and Jake, 29, from her first marriage to Shane
