Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan opens up on Strictly after rumours she’s joining show
COLEEN NOLAN shut down rumours earlier this year that she’d be taking to the floor on Strictly, saying she might consider it if she could shed some weight.
Now, the Loose Women panellist has put herself forward for the next series of the BBC dance show.
She told her ITV co-hosts: “I vote me to go in!
“There’d be a lot of sequins involved, let me tell you.”
Coleen is no stranger to a competition show, having competed on ITV’s Dancing On Ice in 2009, coming in fourth place and going on to host its spin-off.
But Strictly would take pride of place.

“I am every single year.
“I cannot miss it, I love it just as much this series as I have every other series.
“I’m a big fan, I think they’ve got the whole balance right.
“Am I creeping enough about Strictly?”
Anjelica a grand old lady
ANJELICA HUSTON looks a far cry from her Addams Family movie heyday in a new series for the BBC.
The Hollywood actress, who also starred in the film version of Roald Dahl's The Witches and action series John Wick, appears frail in bed as Lady Tressilian in Towards Zero, adapted from the Agatha Christie book.
The classic murder mystery follows the scandalous celebrity divorce of fictional characters Nevile and Audrey Strange.
The duo, who will be played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Ella Lily Hyland, make the decision to spend the summer together at the coastal estate of Nevile’s aunt Lady Tressilian.
But tensions soon run high with the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay, played by Sex Education’s Mimi Keene.
The series will be on BBC One and iPlayer.
Sophie's swigs and gigs
MOST performers have warm-up routines to get them into character, but for Sophie Willian, hers was remarkably simple.
The actress was recently back on set to film the second series of her comedy Alma’s Not Normal, which returns to BBC Two on Monday at 10pm.
And she revealed she just had to have, “A coffee, a pasty and a fag, before and after the scene”.
She also teased what fans can expect in the new series, saying: “Alma faces a new set of challenges that change her forever. There’s a loss of innocence. It’s more about Alma finding her voice.
“It’s bittersweet, a mix of frustration and hope.”
Lorraine owl was a hoot
SHE’S been entertaining audiences for more than four decades – and even has her own show named after her.
But Lorraine Kelly says her career highlight has been appearing as Owl on The Masked Singer.
The presenter described it as, “One of the most enjoyable and happiest experiences”.
She added: “The Bafta award was, of course, another highlight.”
But despite her stint as a singer, Lorraine has no plans to move away from what she knows best. She said: “I have never had a career plan and I still don’t, I’ve just worked hard and I’ve been lucky.
“I love what I do and I have a wonderful production team. You never know what the future holds but I found my niche – live morning TV suits me.”
EASTENDERS star Charlie Brooks will compete in the new series of ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
The actress, who plays Janine Butcher in the BBC soap, joins Olympic rower Steve Redgrave and reality stars Mollie Pearce and Ferne McCann.
The full line-up has yet to be revealed.
