Coleen Nolan was shaken and told her Loose Women colleagues it 'didn't bear thinking about' as she started Wednesday's show with an update on the search for the missing Titanic tour submarine.
It was first reported on Monday that the submarine, carrying passengers on an undersea trip to see the famous sunken ship, had gone missing in the Atlantic, with no signal detected from the OceanGate Expeditions sub since it lost contact with mother ship, the Polar Prince. Five passengers are board - Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate; British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman.
It is predicted that the oxygen in the vessel will run out on Thursday morning as US Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard continue to be involved in rescue efforts.
