With her 60th birthday approaching this Wednesday, the festivities kicked off early as her co-presenters Kaye Adams, Jane Moore, and Judi Love secretly brought her loved onesincluding her three kidsinto the studio. The reunion touched Coleen deeply, leaving her crying as she confessed it was all “too emotional”. Despite the joy, Coleen shared how the morning had kept her isolated in her dressing room, humorously dubbing it the ‘worst day of (her) life’. Coleen, who was led into the studio blindfolded, was delighted to the point of tears upon seeing her sons Jake Roche and Shane Nolan, and daughter Ciara Fensome awaiting her.

Overcome with happiness at having her children together in the studio for the first time, Coleen raced to embrace them, exclaiming in disbelief, “Oh my God! Is this why I’ve been kept prisoner all day?” Her reflection on the day’s earlier events was both touching and amusing: “So far, I’ve had the worst day of my life. They literally locked me in the dressing room. This was a genuine surprise. Gosh it’s too emotional,” reports the Liverpool Echo. Adding to Coleen’s special day, she received a charming video message from former Strictly Come Dancing favourite Pete Wicks, with whom she struck up a close friendship during their time on The Real Full Monty.

Later, her seldom-seen brothers Brian and Tommy joined the Loose Women set live, along with her sister Maureen Nolan, causing Coleen to tear up once more. When quizzed about her feelings on reaching the big 6-0, Coleen shared: “I feel great about turning 60. I still feel age is just a number and in my head I am 21/22 and in my body I’m 70 but we will ignore that.” She went on to say: “Honestly mentally I feel great and excited about turning 60. I feel a little bit scared because I guess in life, not just in the industry but in life a woman turning 60 makes you scared to death because all of a sudden invisible. “And people won’t want to work with you because they want someone younger and that scares me a little bit but I’m determined to push forward to say, ‘No you’re wrong and I’m going to prove you wrong.'” Loose Women is on ITV1 weekdays at 12.30pm and on ITVX
