Coleen Nolan has sparked a feud with the newest member of Loose Women just weeks after GK Barry fell out with musician and panellist Frankie Bridge during her debut appearance
Coleen Nolan has sparked a new feud with a fellow Loose Women presenter.
On Thursday (August 29), the broadcaster joined GK Barry on her hugely popular podcast Saving Grace. The dynamic duo discussed Coleen’s new book A Hand To Hold: All I’ve Learnt About Grief and life as a child star.
Later on in the episode, the pair discussed their first appearances on the ITV daytime show. The blonde bombshell – whose real name is Grace Keeling – made her debut on the chat show earlier this month.
Looking back over her first appearance on the programme in 1999, Coleen admitted she first went on to promote a documentary she appeared on called Celebrity Heartbreak.

It was at this point that Grace blurted out: “Ooh that’s when I was born!” The podcast host immediately apologised for her comment as the mum-of-two recoiled in shock.
Grace insisted: “Sorry, sorry I know I mucked up. I didn’t mean to.” It was at this point that Coleen joked: “God I liked you up until that point! You’re not coming back on, it’s too young.”

The broadcaster added that she quickly became full time member of Loose Women less than a year after her first show. She explained: “I got on well with them [the cast], like you did really.
“And then I was asked to be a guest presenter and then in 2000, that’s when I started doing it full time.” Reflecting on her first episode, Grace admitted she was incredibly nervous to step out onto the soundstage with the other Loose Women stars.
She told the TV presenter: “Thank God you were on when I went on, I was absolutely shaking in my boots.” The starlet pinned her nerves down to the sudden change in audience demographic.

Grace insisted: “Do you know what it is, it’s that audience. Because I know that audience has not a clue who I am – fair.
“But thank God you liked me, because if you hadn’t, I’d have stormed off and you wouldn’t have even chased me,” she joked. Coleen cheekily reassured her: “No I would have pretended I did [like you] but then I would have said, ‘We’re not having her on again, she was horrible’.”
Their cheeky banter comes after Frankie Bridge was left up in arms as she addressed a surprising “feud” with her co-star. Minutes into the show, Kay Adams couldn’t help but point out that Frankie is no longer the youngest panellist on the show.

Kaye gushed: “Introducing the 24-year-old internet sensation, Grace Keeling. She is making Loose Women history as our first ever panellist born in the same year when Loose Women started in 1999.
“Frankie, you are no longer the youngest. You’re not the baby anymore.” And it’s fair to say the mum-of-two, 35, was not impressed, replying: “I’m fuming.”
Grace admitted: “I know there is a feud now and I was so excited to meet Frankie but now there is a feud.”
