Coleen Nolan Hits Back at Fan Accusations Over Loose Women Tribute

Coleen Nolan has been forced to hit back at fans’ claims that she deliberately ‘left out’ co-stars from her Loose Women 25th anniversary tribute.

The long-running daytime programme is this week celebrating 25 years of being on air and Coleen, who joined the show in 2000 a year after it began, took to Instagram on Friday to share a compilation video looking back on her time on the show.

The fun montage documented various moments of Coleen’s 24 years on the programme, starting from her very first appearance and featured several of her fellow panelists past and present.

Captioning her post, Coleen penned: ’25 years of @loosewomen (24 for me) of so much fun, laughter and also at times tears… Thank you Loose Women for being such a major part of my life, and to all you wonderful viewers thank you for your loyalty and support! Here’s to the next 25! Love you all ❤️.’

However, she was soon forced to take to the comments to defend herself after one follower accused her of excluding certain members of the panel.

The video in question featured the likes of Coleen’s pals Ruth Langsford, Brenda Edwards, Janet Street-Porter and Denise Welch.

While other Loose Women legends making an appearance included Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore, Saira Khan, Kaye Adams and Sherrie Hewson.

Andrea McClean, Stacey Solomon and Christine Lampard also made brief cameos in the clip.

But while Coleen’s video managed to feature a vast selection of the show’s stars, one person took umbrage over the fact she missed out some cast members.

They wrote: ‘Only saw one photo of Carol McGiffin. There was nothing about Jackie Brambles, Kate Thornton and Terri Dyer.’

Responding to the criticism, Coleen explained that she was only able to feature a ‘handful of highlights’, remarking: ‘There have been dozens of Loose Women over the years… just a handful of highlights. Love to all the ladies, past and present.’

But as others piled in with comments, the star then added a pinned comment in which she shut down any speculation. 

She wrote: ‘Just for clarification, I’ve collated some highlights to celebrate 25 years of LW.

‘It would have been impossible to feature every single panellist past & present in the reel, nothing but love for all the ladies.’

It comes after earlier this month Coleen revealed it has become a daily ritual for her to check for signs of cancer everyday after the tragic effects the disease has had on her family. 

The Loose Women presenter, who is one if six sisters, candidly admitted she is terrified she will be the family member targeted by the disease next. 

Cancer has significantly affected the Nolan family after the sisters lost Bernie, 52, in 2013 after a three year battle with breast cancer. 

Meanwhile both Anne, 73, and Linda, 65, have also both battled breast cancer with Linda’s becoming terminal after it returned in 2017.

Speaking to The Mirror Coleen opened up about the preventative measures she takes as she explained: ‘We have had so much heartache… I’m always checking. I still have this thing when I think, “What if I have missed it?”

‘Whenever I’m in the shower, I will have a good feel and check and if there is ever a time when I think “I don’t like that”, I will go to the doctor straight away. And they will say “It’s fine, it’s a little cyst or an infection”.

While Coleen hopes she doesn’t get the disease, she explained that if she is unfortunate she wants to catch it early.
