Coleen Nolan Opens Up About Leaving Loose Women Amidst Concerns: 'We're Worried' trucc

She has revealed when she will quit the show after 24 years on the panel

Loose Women veteran Coleen Nolan has opened up about her time on the show as she addresses thoughts on her departure after an impressive 24-year stint.

The beloved 59 year old TV presenter, from Blackpool, who has become a familiar face on the ITV panel show, has often made viewers chuckle with discussions on relationship woes and cheeky sex revelations. Not one to shy away from sharing her life with the audience, Coleen has navigated through personal highs and lows publicly, from her divorces and raising children, to the sadness of losing her sister Bernie, all whilst gracing the Loose Women panel.

Having recently introduced her new partner Michael Jones to the viewers, this week saw Coleen get more personal as she disclosed her struggle with sleep. Despite her lengthy tenure on the daytime TV staple, the singer has now divulged her thoughts on when she might leave the much-loved show.

In a heartfelt confession, she said: "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 expressed her attachment to the programme: "More than anything else, Loose Women has been the constant - so why would I want to give that up?", reports the Mirror.

Coleen has also voiced concerns among the Loose Women cast regarding the fear of being cancelled and feeling restricted in their on-air conversations. She mentioned there are "certain things you can't say" and that they are "all worried about it".

Coleen said she "self-edits" while live on air and confessed their pre-show morning meeting sees them really share their true opinions.

She added Loose Women would "be a completely different show" but would "definitely be taken off air". Coleen recently shared her struggles with insomnia while on the ITV show alongside Ruth Langsford, Jane Moore and Olivia Attwood-Dack.

In an emotional moment, Coleen opened up and said: "I don't know if it's menopause but all of a sudden I can not remember the last time I had a proper full night's sleep. So I fall asleep easily but then I wake up at like 2am, probably 2am till 5am and I'm wide awake."

She continued: "It's so hard because I'm so tired in the day and then I think this is good. I'm so exhausted during the day but when I get home I can't sleep. For some reason I get in bed and my brain is like 'no'. It's really frustrating and to this day the only way I sleep really well is on a car, plane or train and that's probably from touring when I was younger."

The show has celebrated its 25th anniversary this week, with Coleen paying tribute on social media. She wrote: "25 years of @loosewomen (24 for me) of so much fun, laughter and also at times tears. Thank you Loose Women for being such a major part of my life, and to all you wonderful viewers thank you for your loyalty and support. Here's to the next 25! Love you all."
