Nolan 'wants son to stay in Emmerdale'

Coleen Nolan has admitted that she would have liked her son's Emmerdale role to be extended.

The Loose Women presenter confirmed that Jake Roche has completed filming his role as Isaac Nuttall, who joined the show as a love interest for Hannah Barton (Grace Cassidy).

"He's absolutely loving it," she told the PA. "He's on screen until October but he's finished there - I'd love them to keep him on but it was only for a short run.

"Emmerdale is my favourite soap because my son's in it.. But it was my favourite before he was in it so he's just a bonus."

She added: "They've all made him feel so fabulous. When I walked in, I was like, 'Oh it's my son's other family'. I feel like I know them."

Both Roche and Nolan have insisted that the role was earned and not won because of who his parents are.
