James Haskell Caught Off Guard as Coleen Nolan Surprises Him on This Morning
James Haskell, the former England rugby player, found himself flustered on live TV during a surprise moment on This Morning. The 41-year-old, who is currently featured on Celebs Go Dating, was discussing his time on the show with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley when the conversation took an unexpected turn.
The moment occurred when the hosts aired a clip from the show where James admitted to having a soft spot for his Celebs Go Dating co-star, Coleen Nolan. “I’ve got a real crush on her,” James said, grinning playfully. “I probably would’ve given her a spin,” he added, hinting at his affection for the 61-year-old star.
What happened next was pure television gold. After the clip aired, the hosts arranged a surprise for James by inviting Coleen onto the set. As she entered the studio, she cheekily asked, “Did someone say they want to date me?” to which James jokingly replied, “Do you want to sit on my knee?” The exchange left James red-faced but clearly entertained, as Coleen’s entrance brought an unexpected spark to the show.
But the fun didn’t stop there. James also opened up about the reaction of his ex-wife, Chloe Madeley, to his appearance on Celebs Go Dating. “When you do something like that, especially when you have a daughter, you need to talk about it,” James explained. He went on to say that Chloe had been supportive of his decision, acknowledging the importance of discussing public matters together.
While James was left embarrassed by the surprise on This Morning, not everything in his dating life has been smooth sailing. During a recent episode of Celebs Go Dating, James found himself in a tense confrontation with one of his dates, Kitty, who felt hurt by his comments about her lack of a driving license. “I feel like you ruled me out because I didn’t have a license,” she told him, visibly frustrated. James quickly defended himself, claiming he hadn’t even considered the issue of driving when making his decision. “I had completely forgotten that was one of the things,” he insisted. However, Kitty wasn’t backing down, asserting, “As a woman, I have so much to give.”
Despite the awkward encounter, James maintained that he remained open to finding love and was simply navigating the challenges of dating after his divorce. His time on Celebs Go Dating has certainly been eventful, with his dating drama capturing the attention of viewers.
As for Coleen Nolan, with James’ genuine crush on her now out in the open, fans are left wondering if this surprise on This Morning could be the start of something more. Could the Celebs Go Dating stars find romance off-screen? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: James Haskell’s time on Celebs Go Dating is proving to be anything but boring.
