Jake Roche, of Rixton fame, has revealed that his celebrity mother approves of his relationship with Little Mix's Jesy Nelson and has even become 'close friends' with the songstress. 

His mum is 'Loose Women' presenter Coleen Nolan and Roche is quoted by The Mirror as saying that she often enjoys a chat and a cup of tea with the 'Wings' beauty when she 'pops round to their house': "My mum and Jesy are very close friends and Jesy loves to pop round to our house for a cup of tea."

He went onto add that Nolan gave him some advice about how to treat any girlfriends he has and stressed that it's crucial to be truthful and faithful: "She says we’re well suited. Mum has stressed how important it is to be faithful. She always told me to make a woman feel incredible."

Earlier this month, Roche told the Daily Star newspaper that he and Nelson won't let their respective busy schedules interfere with their romance: “Little Mix are recording their third album so she’s been coming to a lot of the gigs with me. I don’t think our careers are a problem. There are times we can’t speak or see each other because we are touring or doing promo but we both understand what it’s like so I actually think it kind of works in our favour.”
