Richie appalled by Nolan's hooker plan

Shane Richie has blasted his ex, Coleen Nolan, for suggesting that their son should be treated to a hooker.

Speaking on Loose Women earlier this week, Nolan revealed that she had given her fiancé Ray Fensome permission to sleep around on a trip that Shane Jr, 16, had chosen.

She admitted: "I said, 'Ray will have to go with you' and he said, 'Well then, Ray might sleep with a prostitute too'.

"I said, 'Oh, that's all right, it's only a prostitute'. I wouldn't throw away the father of my children and all that for the sake of lads being lads."

Outraged Richie, 41, told The Mirror today: "I am absolutely disgusted and appalled about what Coleen said on Loose Women. I can only think she said this for shock value and I hope and assume it was said in total jest.

"No responsible parent would even think of such a thing - let alone state it."
