Coleen Nolan has introduced her mystery man she has fallen head over heels for.
The Loose Women star, 56, has kept the identity of her new boyfriend a secret for the past couple of months.
But she has now introduced 57-year-old Michael Jones, who she met on Tinder, to the spotlight.

Sitting down for an interview and photoshoot, Coleen revealed how Michael has slotted into her family.
She also hinted at their plans to walk down the aisle.
Posing together for a stunning at-home photoshoot for OK! magazine, Coleen praised Michael, who works in logistics for a supermarket chain, for helping her feel "calm" as well as happy, reports the Mirror.
While Michael has shared the apprehension he felt when he decided to 'swipe right' after Coleen flashed up in his search for a partner while scrolling through Tinder – with the pair matching on the app last summer.
He told the magazine: "It was a bit of a dilemma. You think, 'Am I just swiping because I recognise her?' So I had to think about it and do it for the right reasons – not even for one minute thinking she’d reply anyway. The surprising thing for me was that once I’d swiped we were a match straight away, which meant that she’d already liked me."
Discussing their first date, Michael and Coleen explained that they met for a drink in a pub at 5pm and stayed there downing drinks and getting to know each other until they were finally "kicked out" by staff after 11pm.
The duo then revealed that their respective children had been concerned when neither returned home after just a couple of hours – but Coleen explained to her brood that she "really liked" Michael by the time she finally got home.
The Loose Women star has three kids of her own – sons Shane Jr, 33, and Jake, 29, from her first marriage to Shane Richie, and 20-year-old daughter Ciara from her second marriage to Ray Fensome.
Michael has a 20-year-old son Nico from a previous relationship of his own, while his own past marriage ended when he was in his 30s.
During their chat, Michael explains that he met Ciara within weeks of meeting Coleen, and then met the TV star's sons soon after – while the family have all met Michael's son, Nico, too.
And while the six of them are all getting along well now, Coleen admits that there was a rocky patch for her and her daughter in the early weeks.
She said: "[Ciara] sat us both down and got it all off her chest! She felt a bit left out. She said, 'Every time I see you it’s Michael this and Michael that!' She was a bit jealous. She missed having time with her mum."
While Coleen has previously discussed how her sex life has been reawakened by Michael, she told OK! that she has been amazed at how he looks at her even when she isn't feeling her best self.
She said: "I’ll be sitting there in my pyjamas with no make-up on, swollen eyes and a cold sore and he still looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread. Normally I’d be thinking, “I need to put make-up on or he won’t fancy me or love me!” And Michael’s come along and he just looks at me like I’ve never been looked at before."
And while the pair are yet to move in together, they have admitted that they fully expect to tie the knot one day in the future.
Asked if they've discussed marriage, Coleen said: "All the time. He’ll go, 'It’s just inevitable really, isn’t it?' And I’ll say, 'Yeah!'"
