Coleen Nolan left her children stunned on the latest episode of their podcast, Nolans Uncensored, after suggesting they benefit from her celebrity status. The Loose Women panellist, 61, made the remark during a discussion about their teenage years, prompting an uncomfortable silence from her eldest son Shane Richie Jr and daughter Ciara Fensome.
Podcast Discussion Turns Heated
In the episode, the trio reflected on growing up and mistakes made as teenagers. After Shane confessed to skipping school in year 11, the conversation shifted to the importance of GCSEs. Coleen insisted exams are essential, while Ciara argued that success isn't always defined by grades. The discussion then moved to teenage behaviour, with Coleen revealing she regularly took Shane and his friends to a sexual health clinic.
Emphasising a message to listeners, Coleen said: "Can I just say, safe sex is good and doing your GCSEs and revising is also really good! So ignore my children." She then joked: "Because you're right, they live off my f*****g fame and I pay for most of it!" As she laughed, her children stared in disbelief before Shane responded: "Do you know what hurts the most, it's f*****g true!"
Family Dynamics Revealed
Coleen shares Shane and her second son Jake Roche with ex-husband Shane Richie, while Ciara is from her marriage to Ray Fensome. On the podcast, Coleen also appeared to make her feelings clear about her first husband when Shane disclosed plans for a family holiday with his father. After Coleen expressed jealousy, Shane joked: "I'm going with dad, wanna come?" She swiftly replied: "No!"
Coleen is also a grandmother to four grandchildren. Shane has two children, Jake welcomed his first child in 2024, and Ciara became a first-time mum to a baby boy last year.
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
