Coleen shared touching memories
Whilst reminiscing Coleen has also shared some touching memories of sister Bernie, particularly when they alongside their other sisters performed as The Nolan Sisters.
Coleen, who is a regular face on ITV’s Loose Women, shared a tweet featuring The Nolan Sister’s top hit I’m In The Mood For Dancing.
The tweet shared with a broken heart emoji was one of many to mark the anniversary. Coleen also shared her sister Linda’s tweet, which read: “Bernie, it’s been seven years without you.
“Not a day goes by without thinking of you and missing you more than words can say. I love you.”
Sister Linda is also fighting cancer
Coleen has also had to face more hardship as older sister Linda fights cancer, and even had treatment delayed due to lockdown measures.
Speaking on ITV’s This Morning, Coleen said: “It is worrying. I know one of her injections was delayed for a couple of weeks, which meant she was in a lot of pain with her bones.”
She continued: “You don’t want her to miss what she should be having.”
