Loose Women star Coleen Nolan was secretly taken from the Celebrity Big Brother house back in 2017 and rushed to hospital as producers became increasingly worried that she was about to suffer a heart attack
Coleen Nolan has revealed that she was hospitalised during her stint on Big Brother amid concerns she might suffer a heart attack.
The Loose Women star, 58, opened up about her terrifying health scare on the panel today as the Loose ladies discussed a new statistic that shows women are 10 times more likely to die from a heart attack than men.Opening up about her own heart health scare, Coleen recalled being taken out of the Big Brother house back in 2017, when she appeared on the Channel 5 show for the second time. Coleen explained she had an almighty pain in her chest, and couldn’t sleep at night due to the heaviness she felt on her chest.

After complaining about the pain to producers, Coleen was immediately taken out of the Big Brother house and rushed to hospital for checks. After making it through five intense weeks in the house, Coleen’s health appeared to give in on the night before the final when she experienced ‘terrible’ pain.
“I woke up terrible, terrible chest pains the day before the final,” she told the Loose Women panel. “I thought it was heartburn but the chest pains were really bad and I was shaking. They called me into the Diary Room and they called a paramedic and they did two ECGs and they were fine.”

Coleen then explained that due to the nature of how heart attacks present themselves in women, Celebrity Big Brother bosses called an ambulance to rush her to hospital. In the end, Coleen was given the all clear and instead blamed her pain on the stress and over-excess in the house.
Although Coleen won the show back in 2017, she has always had her sights set on appearing on another iconic reality TV show in the form of Strictly Come Dancing. Sadly, Coleen has since revealed that she won’t be appearing on the show any time soon and has revealed why.
The singer and presenter shot to fame aged just two as part of The Nolan’s with her older sisters and since then has appeared on various stages and television shows. Over the course of her career, the 58-year-old has showcased some of her dance moves on stage but she’s never had professional training.
Despite setting her sights on Strictly Come Dancing, Coleen has now revealed there’s one thing getting in her way when it comes to signing up for the show. What is that? Her previous time on ITV’s Dancing On Ice. Back in 2009, the mum-of-three was a competitor in the fourth series of the skating competition and found herself coming in fourth place.
Speaking to the Mirror about her ballroom dreams, Coleen said: “It’s because I did Dancing On Ice, I’ve never done Strictly which devastates me. Since that show started, I’ve always wanted to do Strictly and so many Loose Women have done it but they never, ever ask me. But it’s because apparently, I did Dancing On Ice, they don’t have anyone who’s done Dancing On Ice on Strictly.”
