Loose Women’s panellist Coleen Nolan opened up about her famous feud with Kim Woodburn – which saw the latter storm off the ITV talk show after an intense row

Coleen Nolan revealed she almost quit her entire television career following her famous feud with Kim Woodburn.

The 59-year-old presenter and singer was on Celebrity Big Brother with icon Kim in 2017. During their stint on the programme, Kim claimed Loose Women panellist Coleen had ganged up on her with seven other housemates to bully her – which Coleen vehemently denied. Kim was later invited to appear on Loose Women to put the drama behind but things quickly turned sour.

But despite her best intentions, hopes of a friendly reunion went down the drain when Kim lost her cool and called Coleen “trash” among other things, while Coleen calmly sat on the panel next to her sister Linda. Her co-star Janet Street-Porter sat in between the warring pair wearing a judge’s robes and a gavel, as the strapline ‘Can Coleen and Kim end their feud?’ ran across the bottom of the screen.

After a heated back and forth, Kim stormed off set while Linda told her: “You’re showing your true colours, Kim.” And now, Coleen has opened up about the shocking row during a Q&A session at her Naked Tour in Sunderland. The presenter said she knew the interview would turn to shambles.

“It was exactly how I thought it was going to be and I told them that’s what she was gonna do but no one listened to me,” Coleen explained. “And then I can honestly say it was the worst time of my life. I very nearly threw the towel in and thought I couldn’t do it anymore. And then I thought…’I’m not going to let Kim Woodburn finish my career…she’s a cleaning lady!’”

While in the Big Brother house, Kim frequently bickered with her housemates who she claimed ‘bullied’ her – Coleen included, who she later described as “two-faced”. After leaving the show, Kim said in an interview: “How that woman won, when Jedward were sitting there, I have no idea. Public, I don’t know how you could let that boring fag ash Lil (win), with what I now know to be a rotten mouth. She shouldn’t have won that show. I’m a bit tired of all these people on Loose Women winning.”

When producers finally got Kim on Loose Women to discuss her feud with Coleen, all hell broke loose. As their war of words heated up, Coleen said her biggest mistake was not telling “antagonistic” Kim “how vile she was from day one” and that she “wanted to go at people all the time”.
“I was very upset in that house and I pretended I wasn’t,” Kym spat back, her voice wobbling as she fought to keep her emotions in check. I was terribly upset; they picked on me. This one [pointing to Coleen], ‘cup of tea Kim, cup of tea?’ everyday and behind my back they were slagging me off”I don’t want to draw a line under it…I will never forget what the likes of this one and seven others put me through…I will never forget it because it was sad, awful and it was bloody cruel!” She was quick to storm off set while Coleen remained in her sit as her colleagues defended her.
