Christine Lampard pauses Loose Women to send support to Linda Nolan’s family Christine Lampard paused an episode of Loose Women to announce the death of former guest panellist and singer Linda Nolan, paying tribute to her and saying it had been an “incredibly tough time for the family, but you’re just never prepared”.
On Wednesday, Northern Irish presenter Lampard said on ITV talk show Loose Women: “Welcome back, now some very sad news for you now, Linda Nolan, Coleen’s sister, who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2017, has died at the age of 65.”.
Dublin-born Nolan rose to fame as part of the family group The Nolans, with Loose Women panellist Coleen as well as her other sisters Maureen, Bernie, Denise and Anne.
The audience then applauded, and Lampard added: “We’ve been talking about Linda for so long haven’t we, with Coleen, and I know it was an incredibly tough time for the family, but you’re just never prepared.”.
Panellist and actress Nadia Sawalha added: “Nothing prepares because there is a moment when the light goes out, and when the light goes out that is the most awful shock, isn’t it, and they’ve been through so much as a family, just sending all our love.”.
