Coleen Nolan has broken her silence after it was confirmed she and boyfriend Michael Jones have split.
The 57 year old Loose Women panellist, who recently revealed her ex-husband Shane Ritchie was baffled by her crying at their son's wedding, took to Instagram to share a smiling selfie as she enjoyed the sunny weather in a green field.
Wearing a pair of dark sunglasses as she styled her mane down to frame her face, she told her 318,000 followers: "When the sun is out you just have to smile. Hope you all have the best weekend. Love Ya !" followed by a red heart emoji.
Fans were quick to respond as one person wrote: "You look lovely and so happy Hope you have the best weekend too Love ya," alongside a black heart emoji.
Another shared: "Lovely pic," with a pink heart emoji, while a third gushed: "Love you," with a red heart emoji.
Coleen is said to have called it quits with supermarket worker Michael, 58, some time ago — back in April to be exact.
A source told The Sun: "Coleen and Michael were together for just over a year and while they were happy at first, the spark fizzled out in the end. They quietly broke up in April but have stayed close.
"She is looking forward to the future and possibly meeting someone new but there is no rush."
The source added that Coleen looks to be "enjoying the single life" following the reported split and is looking to return to dating again "soon to find her dream match".
Coleen's reps have since confirmed the news to OK! Online. A spokesperson for the singer said: "Coleen and Michael are no longer together but remain great friends and are on good terms.”
The pair's split comes after Coleen introduced Michael to the world in an exclusive with OK! at the beginning of the year.
At the time, the ITV star admitted that her then-new beau got on swimmingly with her children.
The singer has three children; Shane, 33, Jake, 29, and Ciara, 21.
Coleen revealed: "They terrorise him and he loves it! It was weird for my kids in the beginning, especially for Ciara. She’d only ever known me to be with her dad, Ray, and that wasn’t a very tactile, romantic relationship.
"Then I had three or four years on my own where it was just me and her. And then Michael came along and initially she wasn’t quite sure how to handle it. She wasn’t used to seeing a man hold my hand or give me a hug."
