ITV Loose Women's Coleen Nolan's pop and soap star son Jake Roche 'living off Universal Credit' in her garage

Coleen Nolan's son has shared how he is now living off Universal Credit and staying with his famous mum after being approached and asked what he's doing now. Jake Roache is the son of the Loose Women star and EastEnders favourite Shane Richie.

He previously appeared in Emmerdale for a number of months in 2010, where he played Hannah Barton's friend Isaac Nuttal. But Jake also enjoyed a successful pop career, and was the lead vocalist of the band Rixton, who charted at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart with their hit, Me and My Broken Heart'.

But Jake dubbed himself a 'failure' as his current lifestyle is world's away from the fame he previously experienced. The 30-year-old, who was previously engaged to Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, shared his thoughts about his career on TikTok after one user asked him what he was up to these days.

"Firstly I'd like to say you are not a failure," they replied. "Everyone goes through hardships in life and you will get through yours." Jake then smiled before saying: "Thank you, you are a legend." The person behind the camera had started to chat to Jake and told him he was a fan of his former band.

A message at the start of the video also said: "Don't let people tell you that they are a failure. We all go through hard times." And others were quickly supportive.

One viewer said: "You're a legend for saying that.
