Who is on Flirty Dancing?

Coleen Nolan was in the mood for dancing in 1979 – fast forward 40 years and she’s ready to show off her moves again.

The Loose Women panellist has signed up to find love on Flirty Dancing for the charity special, a cause close to home having lost both her father Tommy and sister Bernie to the disease.

Nolan, who has been married twice, said: “Talking about my love life on TV is second nature to me but Flirty Dancing was a whole new ball game. I don't think I've ever been so nervous.

“But I loved the show and, as it's for such a good cause, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a go.”

Made in Chelsea’s Miles Nazaire will also star. The reality TV personality was recently left heartbroken after the love of his life hooked up with his best friend.
