Coleen on Linda’s funeral backlash
Earlier this week, Coleen appeared on Loose Women for the first time since the death of her sister.
During her appearance on the show, Coleen spoke about Linda’s funeral – and how she was even criticised for smiling before the service.
“I got out of the funeral car smiling. Because there were so many people standing there smiling at me. But then I got slated for smiling online,” she explained.
Coleen explained that the turnout was what made her smile.
“The turnout made us cry in the car. It’s exactly what she would have wanted. Linda would have loved it. When I was smiling, it was a gratitude thing,” she then added.
