Coleen Nolan has admitted she almost ended her career due to her infamous feud with Kim Woodburn and THE explosive Loose Women row back in 2017

Coleen Nolan has admitted she almost ended her career because of her infamous feud with Kim Woodburn.

The Loose Women panelist, 59, appeared on Celebrity Big Brother alongside Kim, 81, back in 2017 where she was accused of ‘bullying’ by the former cleaner.

Kim was then invited onto the ITV lunchtime chat show to clear the air, but any chance of reconciliation vanished when she ended up storming off after a fight.

And now almost seven years on, Coleen has opened up about the infamous argument, admitting it was ‘the worst time of my life’.

Speaking during a Q&A session with her audience at her Naked Tour in Sunderland on Thursday night, she admitted she had warned Loose Women producers that the segment would not end well.

‘It was exactly how I thought it would be and I told them that’s what she wanted to do but nobody listened to me.

And then I can honestly say that it was the worst time of my life. I almost threw in the towel and thought I couldn’t do it anymore.

‘And then I thought…”I’m not going to let Kim Woodburn end my career…she’s a cleaning lady!”‘

The former Dancing on Ice contestant – who rose to fame with her sisters as a member of the Nolans in the 1980s – is currently touring the country for the first time as a solo artist and opened her set with Out Here On My Own from Fame.

Coleen and Kim first came to blows when they famously couldn’t see eye to eye during their time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

And the pair continued to prove their feud was still going strong during their almighty battle on Loose Women as the public and panel were left in shock.

Kim broke down in tearss when she accused Coleen of making her life ‘hell’ and bullying her during their time in the CBB house.

The pensioner went on to accuse the audience of ‘laughing’ at her as she spat: ‘Look you can laugh all you want. I’m going to tell you something now and then I’ll go. I had a very very sad childhood, a brutal childhood, it was terrible.

‘It was a brutal rotten childhood, it was horrible and I can’t describe what I went through.

‘Then when I went into the Big Brother house I was very upset in that house and I pretended I wasn’t, I pretended I was fine.’

‘I will never forget what they like her and everyone else did, they laughed at me. I’m losing my temper, but it’s better than that.’

Coleen then hit back: ‘We got it every day too’, while Coleen’s sister Linda said of Kim’s complaints: ‘We know, we’ve heard it.’

Kim shook her finger at Coleen and then angrily shouted “She is trash” as she stormed out of the studio, ignoring Janet Street-Porter’s shouts of “She’s not trash”.

As Coleen then tried to duck for a commercial break, Kim could be heard continuing to shout that Coleen is ‘rubbish’ and accused her of being a ‘bully’.

Things escalated on the show when the pair discussed their past together, with Coleen admitting: ‘I think Kim’s right that I was two-faced with Kim in the house, I tried to be the peacemaker because everyone rowed.

‘I think Kim is very, very clever because she’s a fan of the show, she acted like she was being bullied. I was just trying to keep the peace and it was just about over and I couldn’t take it anymore, if it makes me two-faced, it makes me two-faced.

‘The way she comes out now is the way she woke up every morning. You have come across a row. I didn’t tell you how disgusting you are from day one. You are terribly self-centered.’

Kim shook her finger at Coleen and then angrily yelled “She’s trash” as she stormed out of the studio, ignoring Janet Street-Porter’s shouts of “She’s not trash”

An ITV spokesman told MailOnline at the time: ‘Kim agreed to join the panel today at the invitation of the producers, on the understanding that it was for reconciliation with Coleen.

– Kim was never meant to be upset, and the panel tried to comfort her. She was offered counseling after the show, which she declined.’

Coleen went on to apologize if she caused offense following the controversial row when she broke down with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during an interview on This Morning.

The star revealed the backlash has been ‘horrendous’ and said she had even been sent death threats, with sick trolls urging her to ‘die like her sister’ Bernie.

Viewers had slammed the Loose Women panel for ‘mumbling under their breath’ as ​​Kim broke down in tears discussing her traumatic childhood last week, sparking over 3,297 complaints to media watchdog Ofcom.

When Coleen was made aware of the incident, he tearfully told Holly and Phil: ‘I honestly don’t know what to say. If I could go back in time, I would change everything. It was never meant to be, I thought Kim came to make amends.

‘It obviously didn’t go that way from the moment she came out. It was really shocking for both of us.

‘I didn’t want anyone to be in despair. It’s been the worst week of my life.’

The Nolans singer then broke down in hysterical tears, sobbing as she recounted the horrific death threats trolls have sent her.

‘I don’t know what I did wrong. I didn’t say anything in that interview because she needs help and I feel sorry for her,’ she wailed.

‘But being called a bully and having messages like “Why can’t you die like your sister”, “Why can’t you have cancer like your sister?” They send me these upsetting messages.’

Coleen’s sister Bernie tragically died of cancer in July 2013. She was the lead vocalist for the Nolans, the family band also formed by Coleen, Anne, Denise, Maureen and Linda Nolan.

The Loose Women regular – who plans to go on a solo singing tour without her sisters – went on to reveal she was considering quitting showbiz for good.

She sobbed: ‘I’ve called my managers, my family said I don’t want to do it anymore. I think I’m strong, I’ve been at it for years and I’ve dealt with trolls before.

‘It’s upsetting, you know, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I would never wish harm on Kim. I don’t hate Kim and I would never set out to bully her.’
