“I’ve got four sisters on the stage that would have beaten the c**p out of him.”
The band The Nolans, was made up of five of the Irish teens – Linda, Anne, Coleen, Maureen and Bernie – with Coleen the youngest of the eight siblings, formally joining the family group in 1980, the year she turned 15.
The Nolan sisters made headlines last year after Linda and Anne announced they were both diagnosed with different forms of cancer just days apart, shortly after they returned from filming a series of The Nolans Go Cruising in March.
Linda announced she has with cancer of the liver and Anne suffering with breast cancer, the latter of which their sister Bernie, tragically passed away from in 2013 at the age of 52.
Coleen also revealed she “seriously considering” having a double mastectomy following her sibling’s diagnosis, as a hereditary gene in the family means there is an ‘incredibly high’ chance she could develop cancer as well.
