Coleen Nolan has addressed why she previously quit Loose Women after claims that the daytime show is a “toxic environment”.<\/p>\n

The star, who has been with the ITV show since 2000, has seen a string of long-term panellists leave the show over her 23-year stint, but Coleen, 58, said her previous departure had nothing to do with any of her co-hosts.<\/p>\n

Slamming claims that the panellists are “at war”, Coleen said: “It’s relentless, and I think it’s very sad because there seems to be a lot of women bashing other women.<\/p>\n

“They go on about ‘Oh it’s toxic’, it’s been running for 24 years or something, if it was that toxic, trust me, being the person I am, I wouldn’t be there.<\/p>\n

“I left for a year, years ago, because I wasn’t enjoying it. But that had nothing to do with the panel that was to do with more to do with people behind the scenes at the time,” she added to The Mirror.<\/p>\n

Coleen continued: “I thought ‘I’m not enjoying this’ and I took a break from it and did other things… So I think it’s really sad that people feel they have to knock it and that show in particular, the one show that’s so representative of women…<\/p>\n

“I don’t know why they’re so determined to knock it all the time, maybe it’s jealousy.”<\/p>\n

In 2011, Coleen announced that she was departing the show so she could concentrate on other TV programmes.<\/p>\n

The presenter said at the time: \u201cI\u2019ve had the most amazing 10 years since I started doing Loose Women but I wanted to leave on a high.”<\/p>\n
