Coleen Nolan has shared a series of photos to celebrate her grandson Rudy’s first birthday.
The Blackpool-born singer and Loose Women panellist, who has four grandchildren, organised a party for Rudy’s first birthday, arranging for Soft Play In A Box to create a blue-themed party set-up. The company delivers soft play bundles direct to customers’ homes with packages starting from £140, Lancs Live reports.
Sharing pictures of toddlers enjoying the set-up, Coleen, 60, posted on Instagram: “A huge thank you to @softplayinaboxuk for helping me create the most brilliant blue soft play set for my grandson Rudy’s 1st birthday! The setup was gorgeous, safe, and an absolute hit with all the little ones. If you’re planning a party, check them out they have nationwide delivery so you’d be silly not to really!! I promise you won’t be disappointed!”
Rudy is Coleen’s second-born grandchild and one of four. In October, Coleen welcomed her third grandchild when her daughter Ciara Fensome gave birth to a baby boy called Sidney. Son Shane Jr then welcomed his second child last month.

Earlier this week, Coleen shared a photo of her cuddling Rudy when he was a newborn. She wrote: “A whole year since I held you like this.. it seems like yesterday.. Happy 1st Birthday to my first born Grandson. You grow more beautiful every day and melt my heart with your smile! I love you so much Rudy!! Always! Nanny.”
Last month, Coleen opened up about the enormous pressures facing young people today, sharing a poignant memory of finding her daughter in floods of tears.
During a Loose Women discussion about exam pressure on youngsters, Coleen said: “Whereas now, there’s such this thing of they gotta pass their exams, gotta go to college, and then, ‘What uni are they going to?’ And I remember my daughter crying one day and saying to me, ‘I don’t want to go to uni’ because she didn’t have one.
“I think if you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer or something where you need 12 A-stars and certain degrees to carry on doing what you doing, if you’ve got a teenager going, ‘I’m not really sure what I wanna do’, then why you gonna force them into uni. Who you doing it for, to impress the neighbours?”.
