Loose Women's Coleen Nolan gets ITV 'promotion' as she begins show with emotional message

Coleen Nolan received a Loose Women 'promotion' on Wednesday, with viewers at home finding out she'd been handed the role of host live on This Morning. And Coleen began the show by sending an emotional message to all those affected by the horrendous events in Nottingham this week.

Coleen, who has been a regular on the ITV lunchtime programme for the last two decades, does get the occasional opportunity to step up to presenter, a position typically occupied by the likes of Ruth Langsford, Christine Lampard, Charlene White and Kaye Adams. And, as Loose Women aired its third live episode of the week, it was the Nolans singer and former Celebrity Big Brother winner at the head of the panel, when This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Dermot O'Leary crossed live to their ITV neighbours to get preview of what was coming up.

Days after viewers claimed to have clocked 'obvious' tension between Ruth and Holly, Coleen seemed delighted to be speaking to Holly and Dermot, greeting them with the line "Hello you two," as she had a broad smile on her face. Coleen then launched into teasers of what she and her colleagues would be talking about, including repots that children as young as two could be given diet coaches to help combat obesity, with her also announcing Blackadder legend Tony Robinson and Coyote Ugly actor and choreographer Adam Garcia as the day's special guests.
