Coleen Nolan responds to Loose Women backstage feud rumours and declares it 'ends at desk'

Coleen Nolan has responded to rumours of feuding behind the scenes of the Loose Women set, insisting rows "end at the desk".

The 56-year-old panelist appeared on Lorraine with Gloria Hunniford to celebrate International Women's Day.

Host Lorraine Kelly appeared to allude to claims of discord between the panelists, suggesting that it was not the case.

She said: "And Loose Women is on today. Like I said, you don't always agree but you've always got each others' back. It's a sisterhood."

"It would be a very boring show if we all agreed on everything, that's what I love about it," Coleen replied. "When it ends, it ends at the desk. It never carries on afterwards."

Earlier on in the show, Gloria shocked Lorraine as she revealed that she was 81 and had no plans to quit working on TV anytime soon.

"I never think about age," she said. "I mean I do when I get to the 0s - the 70 or 80. But the rest of the time I honestly don't think about it because I love my work so much and a lot of my family will say, 'Why don't you just take it easy?' but I don't want to give it up."

Coleen pointed out: "I don't want to ever stop and I think that's what keeps you the way you are and so young."

"I have a zest for it and I learn something every day, as you do on this programme," Gloria agreed.

Lorraine added: "Oh, that's the one thing I always say, Gloria and Coleen knows that too, every single day we learn something."

Loose Women panellists often bicker on the show (ITV)

It comes after Coleen lifted the lid on the drama in January and said that she was "so hurt" by speculation of a rift and claims she acted "high and mighty" on set.

Coleen told OK! Magazine: "Oh it really hurt. The girls have been so supportive – besides, none of us on Loose Women have ever said we wouldn’t work with anyone else. It was just so upsetting."

She also insisted that she would never 'refuse' to work with any of the Loose Women stars as she detailed her closest relationships with the other panellists.

"Brenda, Ruth and Janet are the ones I’m always talking to," Coleen said.

*Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV
