Coleen Nolan has reassured fans that no panellists will lose their positions amid the upcoming Loose Women reductions. ITV revealed in May that the daytime programme would broadcast for just 30 weeks annually from 2026 as part of cost-saving initiatives at the broadcaster, but Coleen has emphasised that none of the regular presenters will depart the show. When questioned about potential star exits, the 60 year old presenter - who has been part of the Loose Women panel since 2000 - revealed to Bella magazine: "No, (the producers) have just got to work it out because we'll only be on air for 30 weeks. But there's no mention of anyone going.

"We have to have a big pool of women because a lot of us are mothers and grandmothers and have other jobs outside of it. That's why it's great - then they've always got cover."

Coleen highlighted that backstage spirits on Loose Women are "amazing again" now the presenters have received clarity regarding the show's direction and dismissed allegations of disputes amongst the stars.

The Nolans vocalist revealed: "When it was first announced, morale was low, purely because of all the amazing people behind the scenes losing jobs. It was really sad, but now we all know what's going on, the morale is amazing again.

"It's going to be a massive loss not being able to have a (studio) audience, but the stories of backstage bickering are so fake. They're like my second family, it's like having extra sisters."

Coleen was left devastated when her beloved older sister, Linda Nolan, tragically passed away in January at the age of 65 following a lengthy battle with cancer. However, she has revealed that therapy has been instrumental in helping her navigate through her grief.

She confessed: "I started therapy after my sister Linda passed away; I was really in a bad place.

"I just lost my mojo, I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to go back to work and put a face on and smile and be funny. I was doing everything on autopilot.

"My management were telling me all these amazing things I was being offered and I just thought, 'I don't care.' I was so overwhelmed and just needed help."

Nolan further added: "Therapy is absolutely the best thing I've ever done, I still go now.

"I've got a beautiful family, my sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews, my own kids, but they were all grieving as well. I just needed someone that I didn't have to be strong in front of.

"Obviously I still miss Linda, but I'm in a really good place."
