Coleen Nolan has revealed why Loose Women colleague Brenda Edwards joining the cast of Chicago means so much to her, and it's all to do with her late sister Brenda.
Following the departure of TOWIE and Celebrity Big Brother diva Gemma from her role as Mama Morton in the hit musical's UK tour last month, Brenda, who took on the role 16 years ago, received a frantic phone call from producers asking her if she'd be interested in stepping in, in time to take the stage in Sunderland this week.
Brenda accepted the offer, with news of her casting delighting theatre fans who've seen her bring the house down in the likes of We Will Rock You and Hairspray, as well as Chicago, after she shot to fame on The X Factor in 2005. And on Wednesday's Loose Women, Brenda gave ticket holders a taste of what they can expect from her as she belted out Mama Morton's calling card When You're Good To Mama live on set.
