Following the announcement of Mecca Bingo‘s headline sponsorship of ITV’s daytime show Loose Women, we’ve got more juicy news to share: Coleen Nolan, cherished member of the show’s panel, has unveiled her passion for bingo!
Hailing from Liverpool, Coleen rose to fame as one of the iconic Nolan sisters of the 80s and 90s, wowing audiences with hits like ‘Stuck on You’ and ‘But I Do’. Transitioning to a successful television career, her candid honesty and infectious positivity has shone through the screen on shows like Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother. Now, as a member of the lunchtime Loose Women panel, Coleen reflects on her childhood and the cherished bingo nights shared with her sisters, Anne, Denise, Maureen, and Linda.
“I’m a massive fan of bingo. I grew up watching my mum play bingo. She loved it. I was so in awe of her,” Coleen shared.
But because of her busy schedule, Coleen admits to missing the game.
“When I lived in Blackpool myself and my sisters all went to Mecca Bingo. I used to love the lingo, all the shouting out and the clinking of the glasses.
“I’m not living there now and I’m usually travelling to London on a Sunday but my sisters still go on. I actually really miss going.”
Don’t worry, readers! Thanks to the Loose Women room Mecca Bingo online, Coleen can now indulge in her love for the game anytime, anywhere.
