Coleen Nolan on leading an all-female celebrity troupe to raise awareness of breast cancer…
NEW ENTERTAINMENT
The Real Full Monty
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY / ITV / 9PM
Coleen Nolan knows more than most about the utterly devastating impact breast cancer can have on a family.After enjoying chart success in the 1970s with her sisters as The Nolans, Coleen’s sibling Anne was diagnosed in 2000 the disease, their sister Bernie tragically died from it in 2013 and, last year, Linda was diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer.
So when Coleen watched a group of famous fellas baring all for ITV’s The Real Full Monty last year to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancers, she knew she had to do something to put breast cancer under a similar spotlight.
As a new group of lads return to do The Real Full Monty: Live on Wednesday (see our box, below), Coleen will be joining seven other brave female celebrities for the performance of their lives in The Real Full Monty: Ladies’ Night on Thursday.
Strutting their stuff with Coleen are Hi-De-Hi star Ruth Madoc, Emmerdale’s Sally Dexter, reality star Megan McKenna, former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, actor-comedian Helen Lederer, presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford and broadcaster Victoria Derbyshire – who’ve all been touched by cancer.
