The Loose Women panel were discussing the family feud between Prince Harry and Prince William when the conversation turned to Coleen Nolan’s own family fall-out

Loose Women turned emotional this week as Coleen Nolan shared the “worst thing” that could happen to her “as a mum”.

The ITV panel were chatting about Prince William and Prince Harry’s feud after William made a public social media post wishing his brother a happy 40th birthday. But it got Coleen thinking about her own family fallout with her sisters.

Jane Moore confessed that with no mother figure in their lives after the deaths of Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II, there is no female figure to push the pair back together again.

She said: “I wonder that they don’t have that woman in their lives going, ‘Come on, sort yourselves out'”. Coleen added: “I genuinely believe that if Diana was still here it would never have got to this. They both idolised her and she absolutely idolised them.

“I think it’s really important. The fall-out I had with my family, with my sisters, for like four years… I don’t think that would have continued as long as it did had my mum still been around.”

She added: “Because you go, ‘We don’t want to upset mum, it’s not worth upsetting mum’. It’s the worst thing that could happen to me as a mum, that my kids all fall out and not speak to each other. I couldn’t bear the thought of it.”

Ruth Langsford stepped in to say: “But if they did, I know you would step in and go, ‘Come on, we can sort this out, you need to talk to each other’.”

Coleen agreed: “Yeah, definitely you would! Or I’d just move away and let them get on with it, I don’t know!”

Coleen fell out with her sisters and didn’t speak to them for four years, until her sister Bernie tragically died in 2013. She admitted: “Because we’re family there is also this very very deep love for each other. Losing my sister Bernie brought all of that up and whatever we disagree on it’s not worth not speaking to each other because ultimately we love each other.”

She added: “The only thing we revisit is how silly it was. We lost four years of speaking to each other. It took Bernie’s death for us to start talking again.”

For sister Anne, her “stomach dropped” when she wasn’t invited on The Nolans’ tour in 2009 with Maureen, Linda, Coleen and Bernie – with her sister Denise also ditched.
