Linda Robson says Loose Women miss Coleen Nolan and want her back

Coleen is taking a hiatus from all work commitments

Linda Robson has said the Loose Women panel are desperate for Coleen Nolan to return to the show soon.

Coleen, 53, has taken a break from all work commitments, including Loose Women, after being subjected to online trolling following a controversial interview with Kim Woodburn in August.

It’s not been revealed when Coleen will return.

But as far as her colleagues are concerned, they’re hoping it won’t be long.

Fellow panellist Linda Robson, 60, told Mail Online: “She was deeply upset about what happened. Please God she comes back soon, we all miss her. It’s her choice, we all want her back.

“The audience, every day they ask where she is, when she’s coming back. She’s got horses, she’s enjoying herself with her kids.”

Linda added that while everyone wants Coleen back soon, they are fully understanding of her situation and don’t want her to rush back before she is ready.

She isn’t the only Loose Women panellist to have spoken out in support of Coleen recently.

Nadia Sawalha told the Daily Star last month: “Everybody’s in contact with her. Everybody’s supporting her, and we can’t wait to have her back on the show.”

When asked if Coleen will definitely return, Nadia said: “Oh God, yes. Yes. I don’t know [when].”

Coleen announced her hiatus from Loose Women earlier this month, as well as plans to postpone her solo tour that had been due to kick off in January.

Her rep said Coleen was “not strong enough” to withstand the trolling she’d received following Loose Women’s interview with Kim Woodburn in August.

The interview was billed as a chance for Coleen and Kim, 76, to patch up their differences after a falling out on Celebrity Big Brother last year, but did NOT go to plan.

Kim ended up walking off set in tears, while Coleen was accused of bullying tactics, an allegation she vehemently denied.

A statement from her rep said: “Following the constant online bullying, trolling and misrepresentation of her words and reactions, it is with sad regret that Coleen is taking an immediate hiatus form all her current commitments including Loose Women and postponing her Never Too Late solo concert tour.

“Coleen is devastated to let her supporters and fans down, but is currently not strong enough to withstand this constant unfounded online abuse, so she will be taking time out and spending it with her children and family where she feels loved and respected.”

Shortly afterwards, her fellow Loose Women panellists sent their “very best wishes” to the star, saying they hope she’ll return “very, very soon.”

Kaye Adams said on a previous episode of the show: “Before we get started, as some of you may be aware, Coleen is taking a bit of time out from Loose Women.

“We all just want to send her our love and very best wishes. Coleen is a brilliant Loose Woman and we really hope to see her back here very, very soon.”

Coleen has not been seen in public since announcing her hiatus from work.

She did, however, return to social media two weeks ago to share a motivational quote simply reading: “Change your thoughts, transform your life.”
