Coleen 'not handling CBB well'

Coleen Nolan may have made the wrong decision in signing up for Celebrity Big Brother, her former Loose Women co-star Carol McGiffin has said.

Mum-of-three Coleen is taking part in the latest series of the Channel 5 reality TV show, but Carol reckons the pressure is getting to the former singer.

"I'm not entirely sure that it was the right thing for her. She doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much as I thought she would. I thought she'd go in there and really just take it for what it is and not be affected by all the judging and everything else but she doesn't seem to be handling it very well," Carol said.

"I think she's better now that Julie (Goodyear) ... has been demonised but I don't know if it was the right thing for her."

As the show's final approaches on Friday, fellow Loose Women panellist and reigning Celebrity Big Brother champion Denise Welch warned that the show might get dull.

"It's better watching it than being in it, I can tell you that for nowt. I can understand why people have a sort of sadistic bent as regards what's going on in there because sadly it's the gallows, isn't it?" said Denise, who is returning with a new series of Loose Women.

"The conflict is what keeps you interested and now all the catalyst people have gone then the last week I think might be a little bit boring."
