Loose Women presenter Coleen Nolan, 61, has confessed to feeling guilty about a potential family 'issue' that could arise if her daughter Ciara Fensome and her family move out of the farm they share in Dilhorne, Staffordshire. The concern centers on who will care for the property and its rescue animals when Coleen is working.
Family Living Arrangements
Coleen lives on the farm with her youngest daughter Ciara, Ciara's fiancé Maxx Innes, and their eight-month-old son Sidney. The family relocated to the site in 2024, where Coleen keeps a large collection of rescue animals including cats, dogs, and horses. During a recent episode of the Nolans Uncensored YouTube channel, Coleen joked that the only reason Ciara and her family remain is because they 'can't afford to move out and leave me,' sparking a serious discussion about the future.
Financial Concerns and Guilt
Coleen admitted that if Ciara and her family moved out, she would struggle to manage the farm's upkeep due to her work commitments. She said: 'Equally when you randomly go, by the way next week we're going to London, or next week we're going to Barcelona. In my head I go, oh are you, because I'm work, what the f*** are we doing with the animals? I'm going through all this guilt.' She added that she cannot afford to hire staff to help, stating: 'I can't afford them, that's the issue. If I could afford it I would.'
Potential Solutions
Her son Shane Jr suggested hiring employees, but Coleen rejected the idea due to cost. She proposed an alternative: 'If they move out, I'd let someone live there, in the annex, rent free, their job is to do the stuff while I'm not here, and even when I am here, look after the grounds.'
Personal Background
Coleen's financial difficulties worsened after her move to the farm and her separation from long-term partner Michael Jones. Despite this, she considers the farm her 'happy place.' Ciara, 25, also admitted feeling guilty about going away. Ciara is Coleen's daughter with second husband Ray Fensome, from whom she separated in 2018. Coleen also has two children with first husband, EastEnders actor Shane Richie: Shane Jr and Jake Roche.
