COLEEN Nolan's son's ex-girlfriend has slammed the Loose Women star and her family as their bitter feud escalates.
It was recently claimed by a source close to the Nolans that Emma Kivell has stopped Coleen, 60, from seeing her granddaughter due to an ongoing feud with her son Shane Jr, 36.
The insider said Coleen hasn't seen Amelia Rose for nearly seven years, despite her being delighted by the pregnancy and even present at Amelia's birth.
Shane took to social media to insist he has been paying monthly child maintenance and has upped his contributions having been unable to meet the costs during the coronavirus pandemic.
He said: "I would never not pay. We miss her and can't wait for one day for her to be in our lives."
But Emma has hit back and claimed Shane hasn't "made any real effort to be involved in our daughter's life."
She wrote: "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."
Emma said there was no excuse for no contact as her contact details have remained the same as has her address since her split from Shane.
She then revealed Shane had been stopped from seeing Amelia due to a court order.
"My little girl used to wait by the door for a dad who often wouldn't turn up," she claimed. "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."
Turning her attention to Coleen and Shane's 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."
Shane Jnr and Emma were not in an official relationship when they conceived their daughter, but that didn't affect excitement around the pregnancy.
A friend told the Mail: "At the time Amelia Rose was born, Coleen was on cloud nine. She was so proud her son and she fell in love with the baby, but Shane and Emma aren't together, and these situations can become quite hard to navigate."
They added: "Shane promised to support Emma as she set about her journey into motherhood as a single mum along with the support of her own family, but now there is no contact between the little girl and the Nolans."
Earlier this year, it was reported that Emma and her inner circle were left "disgusted" when Shane Jnr and his new partner, Kimberley Sallis, sent her a script of their 'pregnancy announcement' just ten minutes before publishing their Instagram post confirming the news.
It meant Emma was unable to tell their daughter that her father was welcoming another sibling before it was posted online due to her being at school.
One of Emma's friends reportedly even lodged a complaint to ITV about Coleen, but they were unable to take any action due to it being "a private matter".
Coleen previously discussed Shane becoming a father and his relationship with Emma, telling the Mirror: "They got together one night and there you go.
"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.'''
Shane Jnr, whose dad is EastEnders star Shane Richie, met Emma when they were both working as Bluecoats at a holiday resort.
Following the birth of Amelia Rose, Shane dated Maddie Wadhan for six years before marrying her in June 2022.
His daughter was not present at the ceremony.
The couple later split in December 2023 over accusations that Shane cheated.
