Did anyone just see it?
Was that real?
Did the show expect it to be jokey and misjudged it?

Either she is unwell or in pain or she's putting on a good act.

I don't know how I feel about what I watched if I'm honest.

I dont even want to watch the clip. Itv should never of let her be on the show in the first place. She needs help not to be baited in front of a studio audience for laughs

I was absolutely amazed to hear Linda Nolan say The Nolans had sold 25million records. The Nolans?? 25 million??

I just watched the whole clip on YouTube. My impressions were that Kim has serious issues with the way she deals with people and her perception of what's going on, and those issues are not in her control. It was irresponsible of the production team to bring her on TV. They aren't the only ones though as she had a very similar encounter with Phillip schofield on this morning which is also on you tube. As for the women on the show, they shouldn't have engaged as they would have known what she's like. But I also got the impression that colleen has had enough of her after the big brother fiasco and couldn't have done much more to deal with her on the show. Whatever she had done, other than refusing to have her on the show would have been wrong.

Coleen Nolan comes across as very snug and spiteful, muttering "we had this every day" when Kim was talking about her childhood. Awful, compassionless bully. Clearly Kim is an angry person with a lot of problems, she is vulnerable and should never have been put in that position.

Just watched it on YouTube
Kim does herself no favours
It’s hard to feel so paywith either of them
I used to watch it when it first aired..but no more

I wonder if there is going to be an apology just to save their jobs.

Never watched the programme but the clip I saw was uncomfortable viewing and didn't make me want to tune in ever.

Dreadful bullying that looked like it was scripted to make KW come out worse. Except it misjudged it's audience

DigsysDiner · 30/08/2018 12:43

My sis is a lot like Kim.

She too had a horribly abusive childhood and as a result will be the loudest shouter in the room. She will tell lies and manipulate to be believed, she's abusive, and will leach onto people until theyre drained and had enough then go onto the next person.

Her husband is a blessed saint. I don't know anyone who would put up with what he does.......she even managed to fall out with her therapist who was being paid £50 an hour to put up with her.

But the reality is she wasnt listened to as a child and is.making damn sure she is now. Her lies are from the result of a fear of not being believed. She never got chance to develop so still processes things the way a traumatised adult would. Despite the stunts she's pulled over the years we all know she's vulnerable. And people like her shouldnt be put on a stage to be mocked and judged by the nation.

Really feel like loose women has had its day now. A bunch of self important has-beens sat around cackling and shouting their mouths off. It's horribly hypocritical and very disingenuous - one minute they'll be discussing mental health awareness, the next they're picking on someone with clear mental health issues. Same with things like bullying and sexism. Colleen comes across as extremely snide, snakey and superior. Just a thoroughly uncomfortable thing to watch.

I seem to remember them doing something similar to Katie Hopkins but she is a different character altogether and was able to hold her own.

CoolCarrie · 30/08/2018 13:03

The sister Anne accused her father of sexual abuse a few years back so there are clearly issues in that family.

I cannot stand the Nolan’s. The balance was never in Kims favour, Colleen had her sister and two work mates, Kim was sat there on her own. If itv had genuinely wanted to sort out a feud they’ve have had Colleen and Kim sit down and talk properly. She walked in to a set up and probably realised that as soon as she sat down which is why her reaction was so extreme.

ShatnersWig · 30/08/2018 15:04

Much longer (19 page) thread on this in AIBU with most people, even if not liking Kim, thinking this was appalling.

OFCOM had over 3300 complaints within 24 hours and still rising. Social media very much backing Kim (again even though they may not like her). ITV and the show getting a LOT of stick for not even referencing it or apologising today when the subject was ---- body shaming/bullying.

Many of us in the industry are not fond of Ms Nolan AT ALL.

surferjet · 30/08/2018 15:15

Thank you ShatnersWig I’ll be complaining too.

Teenageromance · 01/09/2018 09:32

Shatners - what is she like then? All the other LW seem to like her - is that all fake?

ShatnersWig · 01/09/2018 12:01

Arrogant, full of herself, treats anyone she sees as an "underling" (such as runners on the show) like shit she just stood in. Fawns round you if you're important or got something she wants. Very good at manipulating people. KW description of CN being two-faced is 100% bang on.

Teenageromance · 02/09/2018 18:18

Oh dear - surely the others on LW must see her acting like that. Although maybe they all are like that too.
