Coleen Nolan has shared her joy, following her son Jake Roche’s proposal to Jesy Nelson.
The Rixton singer proposed to his Little Mix girlfriend on Sunday evening, and Coleen couldn’t resist giving the ‘Loose Women’ ladies a ring to share all the goss from the proposal.

Jake pulled out all the stops for the big moment, and roped in his pal Ed Sheeran to serenade Jesy in the minutes before he got down on one knee.
Speaking of the moment Jake proposed, Coleen said: “I’m emotionally drained. It was just fabulous. Jesy had no idea that it was going to be happening.
“It was a big radio festival... and they were on stage during the soundcheck and then Ed Sheeran just appeared from nowhere.
“He came up especially for Jake, he came all the way from Suffolk in the morning, just to come and sing their favourite song… He came out singing ‘Tenerife Sea’ and Jesy turned round at one point and said, ‘Ah that’s my favourite song’ and then Jake came on behind him and got down on one knee and proposed. It was fabulous.”
Jake and Jesy’s family were all present for the big moment, although Coleen nearly missed it, thanks to an overzealous guard.
“We had to hide behind the curtains until Jake came out, so she didn’t spot any of us,” Coleen added. “So as Jake came out, we all came out at the side of the stage and one of the security guards tried to throw me out!”
Jake shared the happy engagement news on Instagram, late on Sunday night. Alongside a snap of himself on bended knee, he wrote: “A year ago today I met her at manchester arena, so it was only right, with a little help from my friend, that this happened. Best day of my life.”
Jesy shared her joy on Twitter, writing: “I cannot believe what has just happened! The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us!” she gushed.
“I feel like the luckiest girl in the world rite now literally cannot stop crying!”
