Coleen Nolan has opened up about a health scare that saw her rushed to hospital to stop her having a heart attack live on-air.
In 2017, the Loose Women panellist and singer was on Celebrity Big Brother. It was the second time that Coleen had been in the Big Brother house, having taken part in the 10th series of the show in 2012.
Then aged 51, Coleen found herself in one of the biggest scandals of the show amid accusations of bullying from fellow housemate Kim Woodburn. Coleen would eventually win the show, beating Kim and singing twin duo Jedward.

But speaking on the ITV panel show on Monday (September 25), Coleen revealed that she was taken from the house and rushed to hospital during her stint on the show. The panellists were discussing the results of a study that found that women would be 10 times more likely to have a heart attack than men.

Coleen explained that after five weeks in the tense house, she began to feel quite unwell. She recalled how bosses at the show had called her to the Diary Room when she said she had a sharp pain in chest, which caused her to struggle to get to sleep.
“They called me into the Diary Room and they called a paramedic and they did two ECGs and they were fine,” Coleen explained. But despite being given the all-clear, she described the pain she endured as “terrible”.

Nolan was taken to the hospital on the night before the final of the show, and ensured she was in a healthy state before returning her to the show. “I woke up to terrible, terrible chest pains the day before the final. I thought it was heartburn but the chest pains were really bad and I was shaking,” she recalled.
It comes as Coleen bared all to promote her new UK tour next year, aptly titled “Naked”. Sitting inside a teacup with her kit off, she beamed with a smile in the tour’s poster.
