Who is Coleen Nolan’s ex-boyfriend Michael Jones?

that he recognised Coleen from The Nolans and Loose Women and said: "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."

Coleen claims that her fellow Loose Women panellist Brenda Edwards helped her set her up with Michael.

She explained how the pair would “swap phones” to find dates for each other, with Brenda finding Michael for Coleen.

Coleen explained: “Well I kinda went ‘ooh he’s nice' and she said 'yes, definitely swipe for him'."

What has Coleen Nolan said about Michael Jones?

Coleen has said that her sex life had been “reawakened” by Michael.

When they were together, she told OK! that she was surprised at how he looked at her in such awe.

She said: "I’ll be sitting there in my pyjamas with no make-up on, swollen eyes and a cold sore and he still looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread.

"Normally I’d be thinking, 'I need to put make-up on or he won’t fancy me or love me!'

"And Michael’s come along and he just looks at me like I’ve never been looked at before."
