Coleen Nolan’s son’s ex-girlfriend has taken a swipe at the Loose Women star’s ‘toxicity and pettiness’ as the family feud rumbles on.
Daily Mail previously revealed how Coleen, 60, has not been able to see her granddaughter Amelia Rose for nearly seven years.
Her son, Shane Jnr, welcomed Amelia with Emma Kivell in 2016, with Coleen even being present at the birth.
However, a source close to the situation told how there is ‘no contact between the little girl and the Nolans.’
This week, Shane took to social media to insist he had been paying child maintenance and even upped his contributions after not being able to offer support during the Coronavirus pandemic.
He told his fans: ‘I would never not pay. We miss her and can’t wait for one day for her to be in our lives.’
Now, Emma – who met Shane while they were working together as Bluecoats at a holiday resort – has hit back.
She has claimed Shane has not ‘made any real effort to be involved’ in his daughter’s life in a scathing social media post.
Emma penned: ‘He’s never asked how she is, how she’s doing, if she needs anything, not even a message during the height of COVID. Financial support stopped during that time too, and only resumed because of court enforcement.’
She continued by alleging Shane was blocked from seeing his daughter as a result of ‘breaches’ to court orders.
Emma added: ‘My little girl used to wait by the door for a dad who often wouldn’t turn.
‘And when he did, let’s just say the care she received was far from what she deserved.
‘There is so much more I could say and in time, I probably will. But for now, let me be clear: speaking the truth does not make me the villain.’
Directly speaking about the Nolan side of the family, Emma said: ‘She doesn’t need your pettiness, or the toxicity from your side of the family.
‘She has a strong, supportive, and loving one here. And by the looks of it seems like Coleen wrote her own version of the story anyway, and why now after 7 years.’
Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Coleen for comment.
Last summer, it was revealed that Shane had found love again with mortgage manager Kimberley Sallis, who has a 12-year-old daughter.
Previously speaking about becoming a grandmother for the first time, Coleen told The Mirror: ‘They got together one night and there you go.’
In the same interview, she said: ‘But they’re not compatible in a relationship. Obviously, you wish they were badly in love and could see a future together. That’s the best scenario for anyone. But then I thought “Oh my God I’m going to be a nanny and was thrilled”.’
In June last year, Coleen announced that she was set to become a grandmother again when she revealed online that her youngest son, Jake Roche, 32, was expecting a little boy with his fiancée Georgia.
Shane Jnr married former Miss Great Britain Maddie Wahdan in July 2022, after dating for six years.
Little Amelia was not at the lavish nuptials held at Rushton Hall in Kettering as her dad walked down the aisle before posing for pictures with his famous parents.
The following year, in December 2023, the couple split up after it was reported that Shane had cheated on Maddie.
