In the list of things you didn’t have on your sweepstake for 2023, Anne Nolan lapdancing at a restaurant in Prestwich while wearing an x-rated hat surely has to be in the top five.
But that’s what happened yesterday, after the Nolan Sister was duped into a Sunday lunch at the Karen’s Diner, thinking it was a normal restaurant. The chain, at which customers are verbally abused by staff, made something of a spectacle of the singer, sister of Loose Women star Colleen Nolan, reports LancsLive.
Firstly, the 72-year-old was made to wear a hat with the obscene slogan ‘My c*** hasn't been rubbed in forever’, penned by one of the restaurant’s members of staff. She was then hauled into a ‘grandma dance battle’ in front of the entire restaurant.

With two other unfortunate ladies, she was convinced to parade around the room to Glenn Miller’s In The Mood. After that, the member of staff announced: “Has anyone heard of the Nolan sisters? Well she’s the s**t one.”
She then briefly performed a snippet of the Nolan Sisters’ I’m In The Mood For Dancing’, before having the microphone snatched off her, and then went on to perform a brief lapdance for a fellow diner.
Like the vocal performance, the saucy dance was also cut short by the waitress who said: “That's enough you dirty b****.”
Posting to Instagram, she said: “I thought we were going for a lovely Sunday lunch, instead we went to @karensdinerofficial what a funny experience!! You have to take it with a pinch of salt, I certainly won’t be forgetting this meal.”
In another video on the way home, she went on: “Hi everybody, so I'm just on my way home now. I was telling you I was going somewhere and had no idea where it was.
"Well it was Karen's Diner in Prestwich and OH MY GOD! It was... I don't know how to explain it. I mean I've had the best time. It was amazing. You have to have an open mind and take it for what it is. It was hysterical.
"It was fabulous and thanks to all the staff there, they were brilliant, especially our little waitress. I don't even know what she was called and the main lady was brilliant.
"Everybody there seemed to be having a great time. If you get the chance, go and visit Karen's Diner in Prestwich. But as I say, you have to have an open mind and take it for what it is. Thank you so much to everyone, it was brilliant."
It’s not the first time that the diner - an Australian export which is part restaurant, part theatre in which customers are humiliated and verbally abused during their dinner - has hit headlines.
Back in March, a family were ejected from the restaurant after their lad dubbed the table's waitress a ‘fat s**g. In the response, a spokesperson for the restaurant said: "Sadly we are unable to personally explain to every customer that calling a waitress a 'fat sl*g' is very directly 'body shaming' and that is why we hand out the House Rule cards.”
