Coleen Nolan says her previous Loose Women exit was down to ‘certain people behind the scenes that weren’t being nice’ as she addressed panel bad blood claims
Coleen Nolan compared the Loose Women studio to Match of the Day but says life would be dull if there wasn’t disagreements.
The ITV daytime show has forever been dogged by rumours of feuds and fallings out but one of the mainstays insists there is no bad blood at all and they’re all just committed to making great TV. Coleen says just because the woman don’t all go for evenings on the town together, it doesn’t mean they don’t get on.
She says the team all “get on” and agrees with her co-star Kaye Adams, who said last year that she gets fed up that Loose Women regulars after often asked whether there are rows between them, and said it is a always barrel of laughs behind the scenes. Coleen says people must not mistake intense debate for annoyance.

“We have to have little disagreements because otherwise it would be a boring show,” she told OK! Magazine. “If there’s a topic we all agree on, it’s boring, so we don’t do it. When there’s a little bit of something between Janet and me, or anyone else, every time we go to break we say ‘that’ll be on the front covers this week!’.”
Coleen insisted there is no problem at all between the panel, and said she didn’t enjoy seeing women pitted against other women. “I sometimes get upset because I don’t the like them saying, ‘You can’t believe what you see on the television’, or get us to hate each other,” she said. “It never happens with shows featuring men.
“You don’t see a story about Match of the Day saying ‘Gary Lineker’s at war with this person or that person’ do you? Hand on heart, we all get on. But I live in Cheshire so it’s not like I just pop out for a drink with them. So no, we’re not always out on the town together, but God help everyone when we are because when we do go out, it’s wild!”
She opened up about her short-lifted departure – and says it was people off camera that caused her to make the decision, and not any of her co-stars. In 2011, Coleen announced that she was departing the show so she could concentrate on other TV programmes but it wasn’t long before she was back.
She continued: “I went through a period where I left for a while because I’d fallen out of love with it a bit and I needed to take a break. “It was because certain people behind the scenes weren’t being nice and I wasn’t enjoying it. Then those people went onto other things and great people came in, and I’ve loved it ever since.”
Kaye said last year on all those fall out claims: “I do get fed up that almost always we will be asked whether we bitch about each other. I’m just waiting for Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker to be asked the same question because they just never are. When we are asked about feuds, we think it is funny. It is certainly not a viper’s nest.
“The one thing that I can guarantee when I go to the Loose Women, regardless of the line-up of women, regardless of the topics, at some point in that day, I will have a real belly laugh. And I don’t know how many other people can say that about their working life. I’m really delighted to say, hand on heart at some point in the day, we will be creasing ourselves, which is a lovely thing.”
