Coleen, who has been married twice before, is thought to have met Ryan following her three months looking for love on telly, which she has described as a “disaster”.

An insider told us: “Coleen is pretty smitten with Ryan. She talks about him all the time – her kids know about him and things are moving pretty fast. “He’s very creative and a dad himself, so they have lots in common. “She learnt about herself and dating when she did Celebs Go Dating and has really applied it to the real world.” Ryan, who also designs clothes himself, joined Coleen over the weekend when she went to support her sisters in their show ‘An Afternoon With The Nolans’. He was spotted walking arm in arm with the singer and chatting to her son Shane. Speaking about her time on Celebs Go Dating, Coleen admitted: “It’s just not happened for me. “And then the one time when I thought, ‘Oh I had a great date’, he got rid of me. I think we both knew it was a friendship thing. “But here’s my issue, every date they’ve got me is [from] Essex, I live in bl***y Staffordshire. It’s just too far, so that’s been an issue but there’s just no one with that [romantic spark]. “But the agents, the therapy has been absolutely brilliant and I think from the start to the end, I’ve massively changed.” The TV personality has been married twice. Her most recent ex-husband is musician Ray Fensome, but they divorced in 2018 after 17 years together. She was previously married to actor Shane Richie from 1990 to 1999. Comment now
