Coleen Nolan recently ended her marriage to second husband Ray Fensome

Coleen recently announced the end of her marriage to Ray. She previously told the Loose Women audience: "It's been really hard and it's still really fresh, we've only just filed (for divorce) really. He's only just moved out. I said at the beginning of last year we were having issues but hoped we were going to sort them, and we have really, really tried… But it just gets to a point where you think, you know what, it's not working, and we can't get it back together. For the sake of both of our future happiness, and for our kids, especially [daughter] Ciara, it gets to a point…" The former coupe were married in 2007, and share 16-year-old daughter Ciara together.
