Yeah, I have a reason for not really liking her now ha.

Why, does she say?

Apparently the topic came up on an episode on Loose Women and she said she didn't agree with it, I can't find a video unfortunately to get a proper view, but still.

It doesn't surprise me she holds such an opinion.I have always found her comments on Loose Women to be very opinionated with little regard for others feelings.
When she is in a minority on an issue too, she just sets her face with the corners of her mouth at 20 past 8 and looks like thunder as she smoulders because she isn't agreed with.

[flamingGalah!]

I was never a fan of hers due to her constant bitterness about Shane Richie (which she mentioned on practically every single episode of 'Loose Women') her homophobic views & her reputation of being a bit of a bitch...

In the house she has been a miserable, bitter old hag... She has a huge chip on her shoulder about being fat (she lost weight, put it on again, lost some & now is big again) She went in with pre-conceived views on Julie, as said by her poisonous sister on BOTS, who said she had a "run in" with her in the past...Which is funny as The Nolan's all have a reputation of being bitch divas who think they are the bees knees. She is also pi**ed off at the fact that she thought she would be the 'mother hen' of the house who everyone would love, but that role has gone to her nemesis Julie...

Quite frankly I can't stand her...

Thats hardly a fair comment is it?

You've read something, somewhere, at somestage?

No link, to video, no context, just a d*mning sweeping statement.

For our own reasons, Black Dagger like myself does not care for Coleen in the CBB house, and maybe outside the house, but I don't think the gays adopting comment was meant to be taken literally though, probably more of a tongue in cheek comment to justify a dislike of Coleen in that house, no more than that.

If the comment does turns out to be true by Coleen, I wouldn't mind knowing her reasoning behind the comment though.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Thats normal. However sweeping statements such as the one above deserve to be challenged. I like facts, I like evidence, our inclinations and passions change with each passing year...

Right on the nail, Gill.

I don't have any issue with Coleen, she's not even one of my 'disliked' I was expecting to really do a chuff and hate on her every-move but instead I've just been like meh. =)

[Jords]

The showmancers are pissing me off more than her now.

[Saph]

I've never been fond of Coleen.. she was always moaning and whining on Loose Women and shes doing the same in the house..

And Coleen will probably still be moany and whiney when she is out that house, just as Natalie Cassidy carried on to be.

[joeysteele]

Black Dagger was 100% right though, Coleen Nolan clearly said on Loose Women in 2007, when they were discussing gay adoption that she thought, gay people should not adopt children, adding that, there was only so much she wanted to accept.Look under Coleen Nolan,controversies and it's easily found.

It's her opinions both inside and outside the house that make people who do, dislike her, even more of the housemates voted that she was a gossip in the house, she just cannot keep her nose out of things.

[achro]

The "gay adoption" thing with Coleen was during an episode of Loose Women in 2007.


"There is only so much I want to accept,’ says Coleen when talking with Jane McDonald about gay adoption and Civil Partnerships. She felt that she had been a very good girl in accepting Civil Partnerships but that gay adoption was a step too far.

Her main reason (apart from being Catholic) seems to be that children would be embarrassed to introduce two mummies to her friends"


There are Google-able forum and blog posts around the internet from that date discussing the episode.

I googled it, and it's on her Wikipedia page also, Link here

It's her opinion I know, but what a closed mind she has. And after making that statement, she really needs to elaborate on it more. I hope someone in the BB house tackles her on the subject.

This is all rather annoying!

I an find videos of LW from the 8th of Jan 2008 and the 12th Feb 2008, but nothing for the 30th Jan. And all the articles are dead links.

Can't say I'm hugely impressed on the face of the statement. But I'd like to know more...

[Marc]

I like her, she's decent

[glasstangerine]

There are a lot of things that she does that seem insecure to me. Insecure people lash out, get defensive, and hurt other people over a misunderstanding. She also talks a ****ing lot and then assumes she knows what's going on when she doesn't really listen enough to make any judgements. That might be a source of her insecurity. She's wrong so often about people and incorrectly guesses that it's the crazy world working against her instead of the fact she doesn't pay attention.

I do see that she has good points that the others in the house appreciate but those things aren't anything that I would personally need in a friend/acquaintance/housemate.

I went off her due to her comments regarding her son on loose women...disgusting.
She is lucky her son ever spoke to her again following that haha.

I think it's in the Wikipedia link I put up on the previous page. I never read through all it said as I was just scanning through for the gays adopting comment.

In 2005, on Loose Women she claimed that if her 16 year old son passed his exams then she would pay for him to go on a sex trip to Amsterdam and that she had given her fiancé Ray Fensome permission to have a one-night stand during the proposed trip

Thanks for that

It amazes me that she can be judgemental about others when she makes statements like that!
