Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has spoken about her dramatic weight loss transformation, dropping from a size 20 to a size 14 using Voy’s weight-loss plan, which combines medication with clinical support. The 61-year-old said the change has boosted her confidence and health, including improved back pain and more energy.
“All the clothes fit and some even have to be pinned because they are big,” she said. “I’ve never had that happen on photo shoots before.” Coleen emphasised she is not chasing perfection: “I don’t want to lose any more weight – I’m happy. It’s about maintaining now and having a healthy relationship with food and with myself.”
Her renewed confidence has led her to join the cast of Celebs Go Dating, following her split from her last boyfriend in late 2024. She said she wanted to avoid dating apps: “If they’d asked me before, I wouldn’t have done it as I wouldn’t have had the confidence.” Coleen set a firm rule: “I don’t want to date anyone I could have given birth to.”
She described dating in her sixties as a “minefield,” noting that younger men often slide into her DMs, while some men her age “act really old.” She said: “I’m 61, but mentally I’m about 35. I want someone who still wants to live, laugh and do things.”
Coleen remains a cornerstone of Loose Women, describing the show as “like family.” She dismissed rumours of backstage drama, saying the panel supports each other through a WhatsApp group. She also praised newer panellists like GK Barry and Olivia Attwood, adding: “I learn so much, even if I don’t understand half of what they’re saying.”
