James Haskell, the 41-year-old participant on the E4 program 'Celebs Go Dating', experienced a moment of unexpected discomposure on live television. During an appearance on 'This Morning', Haskell was speaking with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley when Coleen Nolan, 61, made an unannounced entrance into the studio.
The incident occurred shortly after Haskell had publicly declared a "real crush" on Nolan, specifically mentioning her as a co-star he found appealing. This public declaration of admiration, coupled with Nolan's subsequent live appearance, seemingly caught Haskell off-guard, leaving him "red-faced."
Haskell's comments about Nolan, which included stating he wanted to "give her a spin," were broadcast while he was discussing his experiences on 'Celebs Go Dating.' The program, which features celebrities navigating the complexities of modern romance, has provided a platform for Haskell to openly address his romantic pursuits following his separation from Chloe Madeley.

"When you do something like that, when you've got a daughter and put yourself in the public eye, it's really important to sit down and speak to her."
This statement, attributed to Haskell in the context of public life and familial considerations, contrasts with the more unguarded sentiment expressed about Nolan. The age difference between Haskell (41) and Nolan (61) has been noted, with Nolan herself having recently participated in 'Celebs Go Dating' earlier this year, a stint she described as potentially a "disaster" and which did not, by her own account, result in finding love.
The circumstances surrounding Haskell's participation in 'Celebs Go Dating' have been framed by his prior marriage. He has stated that he sought permission from his ex-wife, Chloe Madeley, before joining the show, indicating a desire to navigate his return to dating with her awareness. Haskell has reflected that the show has "reconfirmed what I want" in terms of relationships and priorities, despite admitting that dating post-separation "felt like cheating." The couple share a daughter, Bodhi. Nolan, a figure also known for her appearances on 'Loose Women', had previously been described as a top casting choice for 'Celebs Go Dating' bosses.
