Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has reportedly signed up for Celebs Go Dating in the hope to find a new man.
Coleen, who found fame in girl group The Nolans, has been single since splitting from boyfriend Michael Jones at the beginning of the year.
The pair met on Tinder and were together for three years until the TV star realised they were better off as friends.
Now Channel 4 bosses are lining up Coleen to be the ‘cougar’ in the new dating series next year and are reportedly lining up a few younger men for her.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Coleen was on the top of the casting bosses’ lists but they never thought she’d agree to take part and they can’t believe they’ve actually got her.
‘She’s never done a show like this before but she’s always so open and honest on the Loose Women panel, and a little bit saucy, so bosses believe she’s going to be television gold.

‘They see her as a bit of a cougar and have already cast a couple of younger guys for her. Everyone is excited about having her on the show. They know that she’s up for giving it a go and trusts the team to help her find Mr Right.’
Daily Mail have contacted Coleen and Channel 4 represensatives for comment.
Coleen is a proud mum to three children, Shane Junior and Jake Roche who she shares with ex-husband Shane Richie, and daughter Ciara from her marriage to Ray Fensome.
Her children have all now moved out of her home and started families of their own.
Coleen will be joining soap actress Stephanie Davis in the new line-up for Celebs Go Dating, with filming for the E4 show starting next month.
It comes after Coleen left ITV viewers lost for words as she revealed the X-rated way she spices up her love life in a major overshare on Loosen Women.
The 60-year-old returned to the panel alongside Ruth Langsford, 65, Janet Street Porter, 78, and Mariella Frostup, 63, for the instalment of the programme.
A clip of Coleen and fellow Loose lady Christine Lampard, 46, was played out as they discussed watching pornography with their other halves during a recent episode of the show’s podcast Loose Women: Just Between Us.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Coleen was on the top of the casting bosses’ lists but they never thought she’d agree to take part and they can’t believe they’ve actually got her’
‘They see her as a bit of a cougar and have already cast a couple of younger guys for her. They know that she’s up for giving it a go and trusts the team to help her find Mr Right’, they added
‘Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it,’ Coleen told Christine, and she then went on to confess that she would recommend it to anyone.
The camera then panned back in the studio and Coleen said: ‘I really am my worst enemy, aren’t I? I just can’t shut up. I forget there are people out there…’
Ruth went on to ask her: ‘Do you think that it is a good thing?’
Coleen said: ‘I think the thing is, she said I want to spice up my sex life, my husband said “Oh let’s try and watch porn together”. She’s like “Oh it will make me cringe!”
‘Obviously the thoughts of that initially, when you’re in the moment, makes you cringe.
‘It’s like now, women later on, like myself, go “How can you date people? The thoughts of them kissing me…” I couldn’t do that now. You can’t if you think about it like that, but in the heat of the moment, it doesn’t matter.
‘None of it matters…’
Addressing the elephant in the room, Coleen picked up her cup of tea and continued: ‘Yes, I have.’
Mariella then chimed in how she understands how they think it could be awkward watching it with a partner, to which Coleen said: ‘No it’s not.’
She also confessed that she hopes porn movies have got better over time, to which Coleen replied: ‘Oh they have…’

Janet chimed in: ‘I have to ask you Coleen, were you fully clothed when you watched the porn?’
‘Well that would be pointless, wouldn’t it?’ Coleen replied.
Janet continued: ‘You’re already halfway there, you’ve taken your kit off… ‘
Coleen cringed: ‘Oh my God – can we stop?!’
At the end of the conversation, Ruth said: ‘I say whatever floats your boat, Col.’
Mariella said: ‘Yeah but also doing it on your own is quite a good thing. It’s less embarrassing.’
But Coleen didn’t agree and shot back: ‘Pointless!’
It’s not the first time that Coleen has opened up about her sex life on the show.
Last month the panel were discussing if they wanted a relationship like their parents, to which Ruth said that hers would always hold hands and compliment each other.
Coleen said: ‘I’m so jealous of that. I’m just looking for someone for six minutes.
The panel burst into laughter and Ruth said: ‘Oh no she’s off again. She’s off again. Time for a break.’
