Loose Women's Coleen Nolan says 'I love you more' in tribute to famous son

Loose Women host Coleen Nolan has shared a heartwarming post to her son Jake as he celebrates his birthday today. The 59-year-old is a mum-of-three, with two sons, Shane and Jake, to ex husband Shane Richie.

She and EastEnders star Shane divorced in 1999, and Coleen went on to meet and have daughter Ciara with former partner Ray Fensome. She is currently in a relationship with Michael Jones, whom she met on Tinder, and on Monday she shared a tribute to her middle child Jake.

Posting a number of photos of herself and her second-born together, Coleen said: "Happy Birthday @jakeroche I love you more each day!! Always [heart emoji]". Jake quickly replied in the comments section of the Instagram post, as he said: "We need new photos, love you. Thanks for squeezing me out xx".

While Coleen is a household name, Jake is also no stranger to the limelight, having been the lead singer of band Rixton, who had a UK number 1 in 2010 with "Me and My Broken Heart". He later appeared in Emmerdale, playing Hannah Barton's friend Isaac Nuttall.

More recently, the now-32-year-old performed at the Edinburgh Fringe festival to debut his one-man show "NEPORRHOIDS". The show was described as "a mostly true story of the meteoric rise and devastating fall of chart-topping boyband member Jake Roche, who is definitely not a 'nepo baby', a 'one hit wonder', nor 'completely irrelevant'."

The performances were each 60-minutes long, with "scenes of a sexual nature, strobe lighting and strong language". Ahead of his Fringe run, proud Coleen told her social media followers back in July: "That's it! My son is off to the Edinburgh Fringe ... If you're in Edinburgh from July 31st to August 26th, be sure to check it out. So proud of you @jakeroche xx".

Many of Coleen's fans have rushed to wish Jake well on his special day, as Sally-Anne said: "Many happy returns of the day Jake xx". Nancy said: "Happy birthday" and Tracy said: "Lovely photos, have a good one".
