Coleen Nolan dumped by toyboy lover she met on dating app as he ‘couldn’t handle’ who she was
Coleen Nolan was dumped by her younger lover as he was unable to handle her lifestyle.
The Loose Women star, 56, revealed her romance last year but did not name her boyfriend.
Singer Coleen met the 47-year-old on a dating app and they only saw each other twice in person due to lockdown.
However, former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Coleen was ‘hurt’ by the split, adding that he ‘couldn’t handle’ who she was.
She told OK! Magazine: ‘I really started to fall for him and I couldn’t wait to see him.
‘But then as lockdown started lifting, he was meant to pick me up, but the day before he went weird on the texting front.
‘I asked why he wasn’t replying and he told me he really liked me, but couldn’t handle who I was. I was so hurt and angry.’
However, Coleen, who has previously been married to actor Shane Richie and guitarist Ray Fensome, refused to say anything bad about the unidentified man.
Coleen previously told the Mirror she thought she was too old for her mystery partner because of the 10-year age gap.
In January, she said: ‘I have moments of worrying I’m a bit too old for him [but] he’s divorced with children, as am I, so we have a lot in common.’
However, while they had similarities between them, she was afraid at the time that she might not be right for him or anyone younger than her.
She said: ‘You can be an old soul at 30 and find people of your own age tiresome or a younger 50 who’s still keen to party and is better suited to someone younger.
‘I suppose my insecurity with dating someone a lot younger would be that he’d get to a point where he thought I was too old for him or that I’d start to feel old because I was with someone so much younger.’
