Coleen Nolan shares her horror online dating experiences

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan has opened up about her warts and all experiences of online dating.

Coleen, 56, previously revealed she had set up online profiles on several dating apps in 2020.

She has since managed to find love through Tinder and is dating a divorced father of one, whose identity she has decided to keep private.

She said: “A lot of them thought I was catfishing them and it wasn’t me. They said, why would you be on here and I thought why wouldn’t I be? Where else am I going to go?

Ironically, when Coleen first joined the online dating world she voiced fears of being catfished herself, saying: “But here’s my issue – how do I know it’s the real them?”

Ruth Langsford replied: “This is the issue isn’t it, I think that’s why so many people are put off.”
