TIME FOR A TOY BOY?

There’s no denying that Coleen’s fluctuating weight

has previously been an issue for her.

‘Coleen describes her battles with her ever

changing shape as an emotional roller-coaster,’ our

insider explains. ‘She’s an emotional eater and lover

of wine. She wants to do this for herself and her kids.’

Although the support from children Shane Jr, 30,

Jake, 26, and Ciara isn’t the only thing spurring on

the star. After splitting from Ray, Coleen admitted

she’s open to finding love with a younger man.

She said, ‘I don’t mind going out with someone

younger – maybe 40s upwards – I couldn’t date

someone I could have given birth to.’ And our source

expects the Big Brother winner’s new look will help,

adding, ‘Some women shop for a designer bag but

Coleen wants a new body and a toy boy to go.’ With her kids,

Jake, Ciara

and Shane Jr

‘Coleen

wants a new

body and a
