Coleen Nolan, 58, has revealed the heartbreaking reason she probably will not marry her boyfriend Michael Jones, despite being in a happy and healthy relationship.

The Loose Women star first met Michael back in 2021 on dating app Tinder and went public with their romance in January 2022, however, it hasn't been easy for the couple.

The TV star and singer admitted that she had split from Michael three times due to her "insecurities" and "self-sabotaging" before they decided to give their relationship a serious chance last year.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Coleen said: "I might get engaged, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to walk down the aisle. I know Michael would like to marry me and to be fair to him, it’s probably from insecurity because I’ve finished with him three times since I met him."

Since meeting Michael, Coleen has been working on herself and has been attending therapy to help her learn to love and embrace a healthy relationship.

"It was all my issues, because of what I’d gone through, so I was pushing him away thinking I couldn’t deal with it," she explained.

Coleen added: "I’ve had therapy, I’ve sorted my life out, and I’m very open to everything he’s providing me emotionally, and it’s fantastic. So let’s not try to fix something that isn’t broken."
