I watched Colleen Nolan on Loose Women ,apparently her marriage is in crisis,she has discussed it all with her 15 year old daughter and thinks the public want to know whats happening too.Am I being olld fashioned to believe that marriage isn't a spectator sport and that the ONLY people who should be discussing her "crisis" are her and her husband ? Is she just looking for publicity to keep her income rollling in?Or does she REALLY think the world wants to know that her husband and her have problems ?Will her husband think making it public will makke things worse and not better?

Nice to know we are mostly in agreement

Paddyanne I could not agree more. It seems as though youngsters want to live their lives via Facebook these days. They want the world to know where they are, what they are doing every minute of the day.

Why they think we want to know all the intimate details of their marriage I do not know. She certainly was not thinking of the embarrassment to her daughter when she went public with her marriage problems.

Imo Loose women is one of the worst shows on tv. Who really wants to know? Get a life! Keep it private.

Yes I don't understand the ' snobby ' comment either

Greenfinch Wed 21-Dec-16 10:38:38

Whats snobby about these comments?

KatyK Wed 21-Dec-16 10:26:22

I saw that chat with Coleen. My first thought was I bet her husband will be furious.

GrammaH Wed 21-Dec-16 10:25:01

A lot of very snobby comments here girls....just saying!

Lupin Wed 21-Dec-16 10:15:11

Good point, Legs, about the media reaction. I'd been thinking that it's in the worst taste to openly discuss your marriage breakdown on the box. I still do, but hadn't considered it from that angle.
I'm not going to watch, listen or read about it, although I hope they make a go of their marriage. Not much chance now though.

wellingtonpie Wed 21-Dec-16 10:13:00

I agree with you all. I really hate all things celebrity. Who really cares if they're having a crisis here or a drama there. We all have these in our lives and oddly enough just get on with sorting it out one way or another.

Kim19 Wed 21-Dec-16 10:12:45

I'm totally with you PaddyAnn. Private, private, private all the time. I do also believe this you lady is supposedly an agony aunt? 'Nuff sed! There is an unfortunate ego arena with celebrities who think those of us who enjoy their particular talent would also like to know more about their private lives. Certainly not me BUT....... I do do see that some of we so called fans feed the celebrity ego by
adulating them out of all proportion to their ability. The number of times these days I see 'celebrities' listed or appearing and people asking 'who are they?' or 'what do they do?' is constant. I see it as a kind of cult club and they feed off each other. Once they go out of fashion they start to appear in the desperate reality stuff. Talent will out indeed.

GillT57 Wed 21-Dec-16 10:10:37

Vulgar programme full of screeching women. I have never understood the fascination that many ( usually women) have with the alleged real lives of so called celebrities, but going by the number of magazines pandering to this, it is a huge market.

Jane10 Wed 21-Dec-16 10:09:26

Yes of course it was Coleen Rooney I was thinking of. These 'slebs' all blend into one dreary bunch.

Teddy123 Wed 21-Dec-16 10:07:27

Don't watch Loose Women either!
As for Ms Nolan's marriage problems .... NFI

Stansgran Wed 21-Dec-16 10:07:21

But we're talking on here how we're not talking about them.

Legs55 Wed 21-Dec-16 10:02:05

Christinefrance you are correct in that it's Coleen Nolan of the Nolan Sisters not Coleen Rooney married to "some famous footballer" not sure what else she's famous fortchgrin

I used to watch Loose Women many years ago but the tone of the programme has descended into "putting mostly men down". The inclusion of Katie Price was the final straw for metchhmm

It is difficult for "Celebs" to keep things quiet as once the Media gets hold of a story it is often better for them to be open about what is going on rather than a "Journalist" making it up or stretching the truth. A case of damned if you do, damned if you don't tchconfused

I personally just turn the pages over in a newspaper if I'm not interested & don't read Gossip Magazinestchgrin

floorflock Wed 21-Dec-16 09:58:12

I can't watch this type of inconsequential rubbish. Each one of them is 'me me me'. I also have a problem watching people who have clearly had facial unnecessary surgery just to 'look good'! It never does. They all need to get some self respect.

MTDancer Wed 21-Dec-16 09:57:14

I think the world is celebrity mad. Young children aspire to be "celebrities" as a career.
I could care less and, sometimes, when "celebrities" are mentioned I have no idea who they are. Yawn

Welshwife Wed 21-Dec-16 09:50:53

When it first started some good number of years ago it was a more serious programme and quite interesting sometimes but it has lost the plot now and the people they have on are nowhere near as good as the initial ones. It annoys me how long it seems to be on for - but then for me most of ITV morning programmes are rubbish and if I am not well and housebound I just hope BBc can come up trumps or I have a few recorded things to watch!

Christinefrance Wed 21-Dec-16 09:18:52

Yes we are talking of Coleen Nolan of the Nolan Sisters.
There is a group of people who enjoy hearing about the lives of so called celebrities and will buy into the whole culture. The rest of us don't give a s***.
I have watched Loose Women on occasions and deplore the way they denigrate men, it does the feminine cause no favours. If there was a similar programme featuring men who said the same sort of things there would be uproar.
Rant over tchgrin

gettingonabit Wed 21-Dec-16 09:08:49

I don't watch it either. Many do, though, so there's obviously demand for this kind of drivel programme. If nobody was interested, there would be no demand and no programme.

jane10 are you thinking of Coleen Rooney? confusedgrin.

Maranta Wed 21-Dec-16 09:07:07

Never heard of her, and now am not interested.

Anniebach Wed 21-Dec-16 08:41:01

I don't watch the programme .

Welshwife Wed 21-Dec-16 08:30:02

I thought she was a singer - part of the Nolans group for a few years.

Lillie Wed 21-Dec-16 08:19:16

She has always been like that. Quite vulgar.

I agree with vampire queen and Luckylegs9, it shows the mentality of the public wishing to listen to or read about her.

vampirequeen Wed 21-Dec-16 08:14:23

In order to maintain their celebrity status they have to continuously create interest so they lose/gain weight, struggle with marriages/children/pets/houses/life in general or celebrate anniversaries, successes etc. in public.

Whilst I don't understand this interest in people I have never met and probably will never meet many seem to find their ins and outs fascinating.

glammanana Wed 21-Dec-16 08:08:55

She did the same with her first husband (Shane Richie) for many years and involved her sons at the time,is there no low this woman will not go to,its not as though she is what you could call "famous" is she ?
