Loose Women presenter Coleen Nolan shared a rare snap of all of her sisters, including sister Bernie, who sadly passed away in 2013 after being diagnosed with breast cancer

Loose Women presenter Coleen Nolan has delighted her fans after sharing a throwback family picture with all of her sisters on social media.

The black-and-white snap shared on Instagram shows a young Coleen dressed in a floral dress, white tights, and a classic pair of black school shoes. She stands in front of her five sisters – Denise, Maureen, Linda, Bernadette, and Anne. The photo appears to have been taken during the festive period, as a Christmas tree towers over them, while the family stands on a decorative rug laid out on the floor.

Captioning the post, the 58-year-old wrote: “Happy Saturday everyone. A little throwback,” finishing the post off with a heart emoji. Fans were in awe of the picture. “So cute Coleen. Family pic to cherish,” and a second added: “Precious memories,” and a third said: “Omg the cutest.”

It’s an adorable picture! (

While Coleen has a close relationship with her siblings, tragically her sister Bernadette passed away from cancer in 2013 at the age of 52. The presenter recently shared an update on her sister Linda’s health after she was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. She admitted her sister is “struggling” with her mobility as she continues to live with the awful disease.

“Linda is just a machine,” the TV star said. “She’s unbelievable, you know. Cancer just hits her again and again and again and she just keeps going. And she’s incredible because she’ll say, ‘I can’t meet you all today for lunch because I’ve had chemo, I’m not feeling great.’

“And then the next day [she says] ‘Right, where are we going?’ It’s hard for her. She’s struggling to walk now, but she just gets on with it every day.” Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Coleen added: “It is frightening. Especially when you think they’re going to say it’s eczema and they go, ‘No, it’s carcinoma, you think, ‘Woah.’ It’s all scary and of course, I think about it all the time, but I’m very vigilant with it and if I’m ever unsure about anything I go straight away because that’s the whole point of it – go straight away.”

“That’s what The Real Full Monty is about, to raise awareness, to check yourself and if you’re worried, go [to the doctors]. Nine times out of 10 it’s nothing, but if it is and you’ve caught it early the chances are amazing. Linda’s [had cancer] for 15 years, she’s incredible and Anne survived it, my eldest sister.”
