Speaking to Johnny Seifert on the Secure The Insecure, Coleen explained that cancel culture and online trolling has affected the show.
The presenter said: “It’s a very different show because the world has changed and I have to say for the better in many ways.
“You cannot get away with certain things now. However, it was a much easier show to do in those days. Now everything we discuss in the meeting – all of our opinions – have to go up to the legal team.
We’re a lot more aware of that now
“We have to make sure we’re hopefully not going to offend. You very much self-edit on that show now.”
Coleen went on to explain that she and her fellow panellists are “aware” of the backlash they could face.
She continued: “That’s because of social media too. You’ll go to say something that’s your genuine opinion and straight away you’ll say in your head ‘no, I’ll get trolled to death’.
“I think that’s a shame really. I’d like to think we can all have opinions. That doesn’t warrant someone being nasty to you just because they don’t agree. But that’s the world we live in.
“We’re a lot more aware of that now, so it’s not the same.”
Meanwhile, Coleen also admitted that it can be difficult to bond with the show’s new stars.
