COLEEN Nolan’s boyfriend has revealed how he won the Loose Women star over, sharing a snap of their first ever message exchange.
The Jattvibe revealed last month that Coleen, 61, was dating Ryan Brockbank, who is 20 years her junior, and the pair went Instagram official shortly after.

Now, Ryan has revealed he slid into Coleen’s DMs on the photo-sharing app.
In a screenshot of their first exchange, Ryan first messaged Coleen in May and said: “Hey. Hope you are having a great weekend. Drink?”

Thank you!
Coleen simply replied with a love heart emoji.
But that didn’t stop Ryan from trying further, as he then asked whether she was watching Eurovision – which began a back and forth of messages.

“How it started…” captioned Ryan over the screenshot as he shared it to Instagram.
He then inserted a selfie of him and Coleen now, writing: “How it’s going…”.
Coleen re-shared the snaps to her own Instagram page.
Ryan is Coleen’s first public romance since splitting from Michael Jones in 2023.
He works as a lecturer at Fashion Retail Academy – the prestigious London fashion school that Molly-Mae Hague attended before she shot to fame after her appearance on Love Island in 2019.
The new couple went public with their romance last month and have since got matching tattoos as their relationship goes from strength to strength.
