Coleen Nolan broke down in tears live on Loose Women on Monday after receiving an emotional surprise for her 60th birthday. 

The star, who will celebrate the milestone on March 12, was treated to unexpected faces in the show’s audience. 

Coleen, 59, arrived at the studio with an eye mask and Air Pods in her ears so that she had no idea what was going on. 

The telly favourite broke down in tears when she realised that her family and friends were in the audience – and it was the first time that all three of her kids Jake, 32, Shane, 36, and Ciara, 24, had been there at the same time.  

Coleen shares her two sons with ex husband Shane Richie, 60, who she was married to between 1990 and 1999.

Her daughter Ciara is from her marriage to Ray Fensome.

‘I believe that age is still a number.’

She added: ‘Physically I’m feeling it, but mentally I feel great.

Her late sister was brought up in the conversation.  

She told the Loose Women panel: ‘That makes me appreciate I’ve turned 60.

Fighting back the tears, Coleen said: ‘It’s made us appreciate to make more of an effort.’ 

Maureen added: ‘That’s what it’s all about really now.’
