Jesy Nelson and Jake Roche's mum Coleen Nolan have stayed friends - EXCLUSIVE

Last year Jesy Nelson and Jake Roche broke our hearts when they decided to call time on their relationship after almost three years of dating, but while the former engaged couple may no longer be close, Jake’s mum Coleen Nolan has admitted she keeps in touch with Jesy and will always be a big fan of the band.

At the time they split, Jesy admitted the breakup was “one of the worst pains” she has ever felt. But, it’s fair to say that when a releationship ends, it can be just as hard to say goodbye to the other person’s family, especially when you are as close as the 26-year-old star was to Coleen – who also found fame as a singer in 70s girl group the Nolan Sisters.

Jesy even appeared on Coleen’s chat show ‘Loose Women’ and the TV presenter would often update fans on her son’s relationship on her daytime show.

And during an exclusive chat with Yahoo Celeb UK at the TV Choice Awards in London’s Dorcester hotel, Coleen, 52, admitted that she hasn’t lost touch with her former daughter-in-law to be, because her son’s relationship ended naturally and on equal terms.

Asked if the women are still friends, Coleen told us: “Of course we are, now and again we’ll send the odd text. She’s doing great and they’re both really happy. It’s nice.

“To be honest with you, she is so busy, Little Mix never stop working and I’ll always be fans of Little Mix because my daughter has loved them since she was six. And it didn’t end horribly, or in rows, and no one else was involved.”

Jake has also been busy working on new music which Coleen promised will be “brilliant”.

She teased: “They’ve been writing a fantastic album and they’re new stuff that is coming out will be brilliant but it will probably be next year. They’re in the studio here and in LA and it’s going growing.

Following their split, Jesy briefly dated reality TV hunk Chris Clark earlier this year after they met at the Brit Awards, but he revealed last month that he dumped her by text after he reunited with his ex-girlfriend Amber, and used Amber’s phone to deliver the news while Jesy was touring in America.

Rumours have swirled recently that she’s now seeing fellow musician Harry James, while her band mates are also all loved up – Perrie Edwards is coupled up with Arsenal footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jade Thirlwall is seeing Jed Elliott and Leigh-Anne Pinnock is dating Burnley ace Andre Grey.
