On 3 September 2018, Nolan announced that she would embark on her first solo concert tour, the Never Too Late Tour, in 2019.[17] Originally scheduled to begin on 11 January, the tour was postponed indefinitely on 6 September 2018 after Nolan received criticism for bullying fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Kim Woodburn on air on an episode of Loose Women. [18]

On 3 June 2005, Nolan took part in the first series of the ITV daytime programme, Have I Been Here Before? presented by Phillip Schofield, which offered celebrity guests the chance to see if they have lived before, through past life regression. Nolan was said to have been a "nervous 16-year-old debutante".[23]
In September 2006, Nolan returned to Celebrity Fit Club as part of the judging panel in the fourth series. On 6 October she was a guest on The Sharon Osbourne Show and, ten days later, was a guest on the Irish chat show, broadcast and produced by RTÉ, The Podge and Rodge Show.[21]

Personal life
Nolan married Shane Richie in 1990. They had two sons before splitting up in 1997[29] and divorcing in 1999.[30]
She gave birth to a daughter in 2001 and became engaged to her longtime boyfriend Ray Fensome, a musician from Leeds,[11] when he proposed on her 40th birthday in 2005.

Health
In July 2023, Nolan announced that she had been diagnosed with basal-cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.[36]
Controversies
Nolan, at various times, has made controversial statements and shared opinions which some have deemed offensive.
In 2005, on Loose Women, she said that if her 16-year-old son passed his exams, she would pay for him to go on a
In the News of the World newspaper, Nolan said, "In an ideal world I'd never condone my son sleeping with hookers, but it's a fact of life that boys of his age have casual sex. So if I'm pushed, I'd rather he does it somewhere well-policed and where the girls have health checks than behind the wall of a club in Ibiza with absolutely no safeguards." In relation to her giving Fensome permission to have a one-night stand, she said: "In all honesty, I couldn't care less [if he does]. What bothers me more is the thought of Ray going into a bar, chatting up a really stunning girl, having sex with her, spending the night and waking up with her the next morning. I couldn't cope with that."[40]
In January 2007, during a debate on Loose Women about
In May 2015, she compared gay rights with supporting
In August 2018, Nolan, her sister Linda and fellow Loose Women panellists Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson caused controversy due to their actions in an on-air argument with guest Kim Woodburn, which led to Woodburn walking off set crying after the topic of Woodburn's childhood abuse arose.[45] Woodburn and Coleen Nolan had an onscreen history of a sour relationship due to comments and claims made from both parties in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017. Woodburn had been invited to come on the show to reconcile with Nolan, but later claimed her attendance was due to the money offered.[46] The row led to over 8,000 complaints to Ofcom, with the majority accusing Nolan and her fellow panellists of 'bullying Woodburn'.[47] Some of Woodburn's supporters even set up a campaign to have Nolan removed from the Loose Women panel completely. Nolan apologised on This Morning in September 2018. She confirmed that she had taken a break from Loose Women, and that she had also postponed her Never Too Late solo concert tour.[48] Nolan returned to Loose Women in December 2018.[49]
