Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan insisted that every passionate debate discussed on the show ‘ends at the desk’, following the ongoing ‘rift’ rumours that have been associated with the ITV panel.
In January this year, bosses strongly denied claims that the hosts – which includes Stacey Solomon, Carol McGiffin, Janet Street-Porter and Judi Love – were refusing to work with the 56-year-old presenter after her agent called Nadia Sawalha a ‘nasty witch’ on Twitter.
During Tuesday’s edition of Lorraine, which celebrated International Women’s Day, Coleen and co-star Gloria Hunniford emphasised how dull the popular programme would be if the ladies were always in agreement.
When Lorraine commented on the show’s ‘sisterhood’ dynamic, Coleen said: ‘It would be a very boring show if we all agreed on everything.’
‘No, that would be terrible, exactly!’ Lorraine enthused.
‘But it ends at the desk, it never carries on afterwards,’ Coleen added.
Co-stars Jane Moore and Katie Piper told The Mirror that they were ‘past’ the feud reports and said that contrasting personalities on the talk show is the reason behind their ‘unique’ dynamic.
‘There’s nobody you dread working with as everyone’s there in their own right and brings something unique,’ Katie told the publication.
‘Everyone’s different in their own way, and that’s what makes the show fresh each time.’
The TV personality rubbished the claims on Twitter and said she was ‘taking legal advice about the slurs on me personally’.
Since then co-stars Stacey Solomon, Brenda Edwards and Janet have publicly supported their colleague on social media.
Janet tweeted: ‘I love working with Coleen Nolan and we’ve never had a single disagreement- sorry if that’s not ‘news’ xx.’
While Brenda commented in agreement: ‘@NolanColeen it’s always a pleasure to hang with you at work @loosewomen and also out of work, you have always made me feel so welcome, and I appreciate the straight talking, fun friendship we have!!
‘Keep smiling in the face of adversity my lovely,’ she added.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am and Loose Women also airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
