Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha has spoken out over claims she called Coleen Nolan ‘fat’ on yesterday's show.
The panel were discussing whether it was ever okay to joke about your partner's weight - when Nadia made the apparent 'jibe'.
Coleen revealed that her family tease her about her weight frequently.
She said: "They joke about my size all the time, I think it's funny.
"I mean, they say, 'You don't just sit around the house, you sit around the house'."
Nadia added: "But I don't think you can be throwing away funny comments about people's weight unless you really know because it can be so hurtful. But you're very comfortable with your-".
The panelists cut off Nadia, as Coleen joked: "With my fat?!"
Nadia said: "No!".
Following the show Nadia was forced to respond to reports after some viewers believed she had made the dig with the intent, reports OK.
She told fans: “So I'm actually quite fed up, a bit upset actually, that there are headlines going around that I called Coleen fat... I did not, I was going to say family, and I got interrupted, and that was it.
"Coleen and I joked about it, and I just find it so depressing."
The 54-year-old added: "Body confidence and body positivity is something I really struggle with and I try and do so much about on my social media...
“I pride myself on being a woman's woman and really understanding and looking into the whole experience of being someone who struggles with the way they look, and mental health, and all of that."
The TV star wrote alongside the video: "The headlines aren't true. I did NOT call fat I was about to say family NOT fat!
"All the haters just bog off will ya! We’ve got work to do!"
