Coleen Nolan and her sisters were honoured with a blue plaque at the Cliffs Hotel in Blackpool on Monday as Loose Women viewers were told Linda was in fine form
Coleen Nolan offered fans a little update about her sister Linda after the pair reunited with the rest of their family this week.
She spoke on Loose Women on Tuesday after the gang got together to mark a big moment. Coleen told her fellow panelists Janet Street-Porter, Ruth Langsford and Brenda Edwards all about the family reunion – and clearly Linda wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
The Nolans appeared at the official unveiling of their blue plaque which has been installed at the Cliffs Hotel in Blackpool to celebrate 50 years of the ground. It’s a very special venue for the sisters after they were spotted by an industry figure back on Christmas Day in 1973.

Coleen said: “I found out all our nieces and nephews clubbed together and paid for the whole thing. So it was really, really an emotional day, you know as well as to have Linda there, and she looked great as well.” She went on to reveal that she took a trip down memory lane after photos were laid out of the band from when they were younger.
She continued: “They’d done the room up and printed out about 300 photos of us, my kids, from when we were little and we were performing on stage, oh my goodness.” Linda accepted she will never be cancer-free, but is thrilled to have recently learned that the disease is at bay.

Coleen can’t get over her sister’s ability to get up and keep fighting cancer after she’s been diagnosed multiple times. She said: “She’s unbelievable, you know. Cancer just hits her again and again and again and she just keeps going.”
Linda has reveals how Angela Rippon has inspired her new look amid cancer treatment. She wrote in her Mirror column that the Strictly Come Dancing star has set the trend and says it’s so uplifting to watch people have such a great time with the show “perfect medicine”.
“I have Angela Rippon’s eyebrows. Naturally I wish I had her legs, too, but that’s another matter,” she told readers. “It’s absolutely true. Eyebrows are a frontline defence in the fight against Mr Potato Head when you lose your hair, and so I got mine tattooed for the first time in 2014, and yes, asked for Angela’s.
“Hers were the eyebrows of my dreams. I first noticed them when she used to read the news, and now here I am watching them glide and gallop across the Strictly ballroom as she performs gobsmackingly. She’s as glamorous as always. So I’d like to say thank you, Angela, your eyebrows mean more to me than ever today, but also thank you, Strictly.”
