Coleen Nolan has been hit with a huge fine after opening up about her cancer diagnosis.
The Loose Women panelist was been fined £900 and handed six penalty points on her licence after being caught speeding.
She was driving her Toyota on Preston New Road in Blackpool when she broke the 30mph speed limit on July 8.

Coleen initially pled not guilty but changed her plea on the day on the trial at Preston Magistrates’ Court on July 21.
In addition to the £900 fine and points on her licence, she must also pay a £360 surcharge to fund victim services and £150 costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.

It comes after Coleen opened up about her skin cancer battle on Loose Women earlier this month.
Speaking about her diagnosis, the TV star revealed that she had spotted a “tiny” patch of rough skin on her shoulder.
After trying to put moisturiser on the patch, the spot wouldn’t go away, leaving Coleen to believe it was eczema.
It was only after a doctor’s visit for an unrelated problem that the skin patch was seen.

Coleen was then diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, which is the most common form of skin cancer.
Luckily for the Loose Woman, 58, the cancer was treatable with so-called ‘chemo cream’, which went away after six weeks.
But it was when she went back to get the results of tests, she also discovered she had melanoma spots on the bridge of her nose and cheeks.

Coleen said that she had seen the spots for “months” but said that “when it’s something so small and it doesn’t hurt”, it can go unchecked.
She was told that if she was to leave the spots untreated, they would eventually develop into skin cancer.
The TV panelist then shared that she’s taking medication to reduce the spots on her face.
Cancer is already a killer in the Nolan family, with three of Coleen’s sisters suffering with the disease.
Her sister Bernie sadly lost her battle against breast cancer in 2013.
