But a statement the show’s production company said: “It is with sad regret that Coleen is taking an immediate hiatus from all her current commitments, including Loose Women and postponing her Never Too Late solo concert tour. She sends her

love to everyone who has supported her.”

A Press Association report said Miss Nolan was taking a hiatus following Kim Woodburn's controversial recent appearance on ITV's Loose Women.

The PA report said: 'A statement on Twitter said: "Following the constant online bullying, trolling, and misrepresentation of her words, actions and re-actions, it is with sad regret that Coleen is taking an immediate hiatus from all her current commitments including Loose Women and postponing her Never Too Late solo concert tour.

"Coleen has spent 50 years in show business and 18 years as one of the most loved members of the Loose Women panel, and has never been subjected to such a horrifying torrent of online abuse or such a heartbreaking attack on her reputation."

It continued: "Coleen is devastated to let her supporters and fans down, but is currently not strong enough to withstand this constant and unfounded online abuse, so she will be taking time out and spending it with her children and family where she feels loved and respected.

"She sends her love to everyone who has supported her and knows who she really is and plans to return when she feels stronger."'
