Last month, Coleen penned an emotional tribute to her sister Linda on the day she would have turned 66. The Loose Women star lost her beloved sister Linda in January following a courageous battle with cancer. Linda, a member of the renowned pop group The Nolans, passed away at the age of 65.

To mark Linda’s birthday, Coleen shared a touching tribute on her Instagram Stories, showing a moment of them both dancing together. Linda’s passing followed a long and public battle with breast cancer, which she had been fighting for over 20 years. Despite her health challenges, she remained positive and hopeful and inspired people around her with her cancer story.

The singer’s funeral service was held on February 1, 2025, at St. Paul’s Church in Blackpool, where she had spent much of her life and was attended by the star’s close family and friends. Back in January, mum-of-three Coleen shared a heartfelt message, describing Linda as a “beacon of love, kindness, and strength” and expressed that Linda’s memory would “live on in the many lives she touched.”

She penned: “I am utterly devastated by the passing of my sister, Linda. Lind was a beacon of love, kindness, and strength. Her wit, humour and laughter was infectious, her presence could light up any room. Linda had a heart full of compassion and always knew how to bring comfort and joy to those around her

“Her memory will live on in the many lives she touched, and while we will miss her more than words can express, we take solace in the love and warmth she shared with all of us. Rest in peace, Linda. You will forever be in our hearts. Love you, Coleen xxx (Colette),” she added.
