Loose Women star Coleen Nolan couldn’t resist a swipe at her co-star Christine Lampard during Tuesday’s episode of the ITV show, jokingly branding her ‘ugly’.

The 59-year-old broadcaster returned to the panel alongside Kelly Holmes, Christine Lampard, and Brenda Edwards to discuss a variety of trending topics.

However, the conversation got heated when a debate about whether more attractive people were thought to live longer turned personal.

Christine introduced the segment by explaining that a study suggests good looking men and women are more likely to enjoy a longer life expectancy than their ‘less attractive’ peers.

As the 45-year-old presenter said ‘less attractive women,’ the camera kept panning to Coleen, which she did not appreciate.

Visibly fuming, the panellist opened her mouth in shock and threw her arms up in the air at the camera.

Grimacing at Christine, who burst into laughter, Coleen asked: ‘Are you pressing that button?’

Both Christine and the studio audience erupted into fits as laughter while Coleen was growing increasingly frustrated.

‘I’ll tell you what there are a lot of conventionally beautiful people out there who can be dull,’ continued Christine, but her co-star brutally snapped swiped back: ‘Are you still talking? I’m a bit bored,’ as she made fake snoring sounds.

When asked what she thought, Coleen seemed disinterested as she said: ‘What do I think? I don’t really.’

However, she did go on to offer her input, remarking: ‘I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

‘I’ve been out with some dodgy looking guys in my time, but they’ve really made me laugh and therefore the whole attractiveness comes into it of the overall person.’

Christine tried to join the conversation again by agreeing: ‘Well said,’ but Coleen reignited the fiery debate by jibing: ‘Alright ugly, get on with it.’

Grimacing at Christine, who burst into laughter, Coleen asked: ‘Are you pressing that button?’

However, the show soon took a more emotional turn as the panel welcomed Big Brother legend Nadia Almada for an interview.

The 47-year-old reality  TV star was crowned champion of series five in 2004 and made history as the first ever transgender contestant to star on the Channel 4 programme.

Two decades after her historic win, Nadia opened up to the panel about how she has grown as a person and what life has been like since.

Back in 2004, the Portuguese hairdresser was showered with praise for providing representation for the transgender community.

During the interview, the ITV show displayed some images of Nadia from her time on Big Brother and the star seemed to get choked up as they flashed across the screen.

She fought back tears as she said: ‘Looking at those pictures I need to profusely apologise to her for fat shaming her, for objectifying her, for mistreating her.

‘Somehow along the line I compartmentalised that young lady for not being your standard.

‘Now I’m talking to me, really. I’m sorry for doing that to Nadia because it was a special moment and I had to put her in the attic or the basement.

Reflecting, Nadia continued: ‘It comes from maturity and experience. 20 years on, I have to embrace a different strength in me. I embrace it and I feel better for it.’
