Coleen Nolan told the ITV Loose Women panel that she was absolutely “terrified” about her future television as they delved into a discussion about new advancements in the industry

Coleen Nolan is “terrified” that her Loose Women career could be hanging in the balance.

The 59-year-old had been chatting to Monday’s (October 28) panel members, including, Ruth Langsford, GK Barry and Myleene Klass about technology – specifically AI taking over “everyone’s jobs” and how frightened she was of the future.

It was host Ruth, who opened the chat, explaining that the late Michael Parkinson, who died in 2023, would be brought back to life using AI advancements so that he could conduct a series of new interviews with celebrities.

Although Ruth and Coleen were excited to see Michael back on-screens again, The Nolans singer expressed her “terror” over new technologies and what it could mean for the industry.

She said: “AI frightening the life out of me, all very well and we’re all excited, until nobody has a job anymore because AI is doing all of it.”

“It’s already happening in supermarkets where you can now self-serve, I know that’s not AI but they’re still getting rid of staff because we can do it all ourselves.”

Coleen is fearful about her TV tole

“Expressing further angst later in the same discussion, Coleen told Ruth: “It’s not your job, wait until four AIs are sitting here.”

As Loose Women marked it’s 25th anniversary recently, with Coleen joining the team just one year later, the hitmaker spoke about the possibility of stepping down from her post after over two decades with the programme.

But fans can be rest assured that Coleen has zero plans to step away from the show, describing the ITV phenomenon as being her “constant” in her life for so long.

Coleen was worried they’d all be replaced by AI

Glancing back at her on-screen career, she confessed: “I’ll be with Loose Women as long as they want me, or as long as it is on air, because I love it and I’d really miss it. It’s kind of been the constant thing in my life for 24 years.”

Speaking to Woman’s Own, she went on to explain why the role means so much to her: “More than anything else, Loose Women has been the constant – so why would I want to give that up?”

Coleen has suffered a number of personal tragedies over the years and has leaned on her co-stars while using the platform to share those experiences with ITV viewers. From divorce, raising children and the going through the grieving process after losing her sister Bernie to cancer, she’s shared it all.

More recently, Coleen updated on her sister Linda, who is currently battling breast cancer. She told the panel: “Linda doesn’t want to know how long she’s got because it’s like counting down the days for how long she’d got left.

“This way, she’s living every day like it might be her last,” a heartbroken Coleen shared after they’d discussed the tragic news that Olympian Sir Chris Hoy had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
