Coleen Nolan interrupts Loose Women co-star to take swipe at ex-husband

Loose Women took an awkward turn on Tuesday when Coleen Nolan made a savage Alfie Moon comment

The claws were out on Tuesday’s (March 18) episode of Loose Women when Coleen Nolan took a swipe at her famous EastEnders ex-husband Shane Richie.

On the ITV programme, fans and audience members were joined by host Charlene White, Gloria Hunniford, Katie Piper and Coleen to discuss many current affairs, including the latest in the House of Commons, the Netflix hit Adolescence and then moving on to more personal matters such as first-born children.

They were discussing whether or not parents could love any other child as much as their first, when Charlene stepped up to air her views on the topic.

Charlene, a mum-of-two, expressed that she adored her son Alfie who was born in 2017 just as much as her second child, a daughter named Florence, who was born two years later.

“It never crossed my mind that I wouldn’t love Florence as much as my first Alfie, I just always knew I was going to have two, no matter,” proclaimed Charlene.

She presented heartwarming photos of her cradling her newborn son in the hospital, stating: “I just knew I was always going to have more than one whether or not I was able to have another one or another way,” when she was interrupted as Coleen seized the moment to stir things up.

As she was showcasing pictures of her first-born nestled lovingly in her arms in hospital, things took a slightly different turn when Coleen interjected.

“Did you name Alfie after Alfie Moon?” Coleen asked Charlene referring to Shane Richie’s EastEnders’ character. And before Charlene had a chance to respond Coleen asked: “And do we need to talk about that?”

Bursting out laughing, the newsreader replied: “No!” as the audience erupted into fits of giggles. Alfie Moon is a much-loved fictional character in Walford with his first name proving to be a particularly popular choice for baby boys back in 2003 and 2004, a year after he joined the soap.

Coleen and Shane were married for nine years before they decided to go their separate ways, with both parties citing infidelity as a contributing factor.

The pair who have two sons together – Jake, 31, and Shane Jr, 35 – cut ties in 1999, just three years before Shane’s debut as Alfie on EastEnders. But Coleen recently admitted that she gets along with both of her former husbands – Shane and Ray Fensome, with whom she shares a daughter Ciara.
