Helen Lederer starred on ITV’s The Real Full Monty alongside a star-studded lineup – but one Loose Women star was better than the rest.
The Absolutely Fabulous star revealed the show “wasn’t her favourite” and it took everything she had to pluck up the courage to strip off. She even “prayed the lights would go out at the right time” to save any embarrassment.
When asked who was the most confident on the show, Helen told Daily Star: “Coleen Nolan was very supportive of others. So I think it does take someone to show their own vulnerability, and then support others which is quite helpful, and she was just ready and raring to get involved.

“There were some young ones on the show too, there were very beautiful people in our cast So it wasn’t a big issue for those ones either as they were beautiful. People want to see beautiful people, it’s nice to look at!”

Alongside Helen and Coleen, Ashley Banjo and Megan McKenna were also on the lineup. Along with Jeff Brazier, Michelle Heaton, and others.
We asked Helen whether she would be willing to take her kit off again for a TV show – and she had a hilarious response. The TV star, 59, said: “I think people would pay me not to this time around.
“I think you have to kind of think ‘enough is enough’. But who knows?
“I mean, TV shows like Naked Attraction, I just don’t know how people do that. I always say that people always look so much better with their clothes on.”
The Coronation Street actress has also just released a memoir titled ‘Not That I’m Bitter’. Speaking about her new book, Helen said: “I decided to write the book just to remind myself that I’ve done.
“I think sometimes you get to this stage in life and you go, did I do those things? And it’s a sort of snakes and ladders type map, which you also feel, you know, the ups and downs.
“So I thought, right, I’m just going to put it all down. It’s kind of a ‘now or never’ type of moment really.”
