Coleen Patricia Nolan (born 12 March 1965) is an English singer, television presenter and author. She came to prominence as the youngest member of the Irish family girl group The Nolans, in which she sang with her sisters. She subsequently became a panelist on the chat show Loose Women from 2000 to 2011. She returned from October 2013 onwards.
As a member of The Nolans, she first performed on television in 1974. She was a full-time member of the group from 1980 to 1994. The group was particularly successful in Japan, where they won the Tokyo Music Festival in 1981 and a Japanese Grammy Award in 1992. She was a member of the line-up that reformed for a successful tour of the UK and Ireland in 2009.
From 2001–02, Nolan co-presented the ITV daytime show This Morning. She returned to the show from 2010–12, as a presenter of the interactive hub segments. In 2009, she competed in the fourth series of the ITV show Dancing on Ice, where she finished in fourth place. In 2012, she appeared in the 10th series of Channel 5 reality series Celebrity Big Brother, finishing as runner-up. In January 2017 she returned as an all star for the 19th series and went on to win with 33% of the final vote.
The Nolans made their television debut in 1974 on the show It's Cliff Richard. With the line-up featuring all six sisters and billed as The Nolan Sisters, they performed Stuck on You. That same year, they released their debut single But I Do, with Coleen singing lead vocals. Due to her age, Coleen would not become a full-time member of the group until 1980, when she was fifteen, although she does appear in the music video to their 1979 hit I'm In the Mood for Dancing, which reached number three in the UK singles chart. They also had UK top twenty hits with, Don't Make Waves (1980), Gotta Pull Myself Together (1980), Who's Gonna Rock You (1981), Attention to Me (1981), Chemistry (1981) and Don't Love Me Too Hard (1982). In 1981, they won the Tokyo Music Festival with the song Sexy Music. In 1991, the group won a 33rd Japan Record Awards Kikaku-shō (Prize for Planning) for Cover version of Japanese pops.
