Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan is opening Strictly after rumors she is joining the show

COLEEN NOLAN earlier this year shut down rumors she would be speaking on Strictly, saying she would consider it if she could lose some weight.

Now the Loose Women panelist has put herself forward as a candidate for the next series of the BBC dance show.

She told her ITV co-hosts: “I vote I’m going in!

“There would be a lot of sequins involved, I can tell you that.”

Coleen is no stranger to a competition show, having competed on ITV’s Dancing On Ice in 2009, finishing in fourth place and later hosting the spin-off.

But Strictly would take pride of place.

Coleen continued: “I’m addicted to it.

“I am every year.

“I can’t miss it, I like this series as much as any other series.

“I’m a big fan, I think they got the whole balance right.

‘Am I creeping on Strictly enough?’

ANJELICA HUSTON looks a far cry from the heyday of her Addams Family film in a new series for the BBC.

The Hollywood actress, who also starred in the film version of Roald Dahl’s The Witches and action series John Wick, appears weak in bed as Lady Tressilian in Towards Zero, an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s book.

The classic murder mystery follows the scandalous celebrity divorce of fictional characters Nevile and Audrey Strange.

The duo, played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Ella Lily Hyland, decide to spend the summer together at the seaside estate of Nevile’s aunt Lady Tressilian.

But tensions soon rise due to the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay, played by Sex Education’s Mimi Keene.

The series will be available on BBC One and iPlayer.

Lorraine Owl was a hoot

She has been entertaining audiences for over forty years – and even has her own show named after her.

But Lorraine Kelly says her career highlight is appearing as Owl in The Masked Singer.

The presenter described it as: “One of the nicest and happiest experiences”.

She added: “The Bafta award was of course another highlight.”

But despite her stint as a singer, Lorraine has no plans to deviate from what she knows best. She said: “I never had a career plan and I still don’t. I just worked hard and got lucky.

“I love what I do and I have a great production team. You never know what the future holds, but I have found my niche: live morning TV suits me.
