Coleen Nolan opens up about being 'attacked' after weight loss reveal

Coleen Nolan has spoken out about what she describes as a wave of online abuse aimed at her appearance following her public revelation of losing approximately 3.5 stone (about 49 lb). 

The Loose Women panellist and singer said critics on social media have made hurtful remarks about her figure, prompting her to address the negativity directly.

Nolan shared her weight loss journey with fans, emphasizing lifestyle changes and health improvements, but soon found herself the subject of harsh commentary from some social media users, who she said have crossed the line into personal attacks.

In a series of posts, she described feeling “attacked” and urged people to be more compassionate in their online interactions.

According to Daily Mail, the criticism came amid broader discourse about the scrutiny public figures often face over their bodies and lifestyle choices. 

Moreover, Nolan’s candid update was intended to inspire others, yet instead drew unsolicited commentary from critics focused more on her changing appearance than her wellbeing.

Fans and followers rallied in her defence, with many praising Nolan’s openness about her health journey and condemning trolls for their negative remarks. 

As per the outlet, the broadcaster has not indicated plans to slow her social media sharing, instead calling for kindness and support among communities online.
