A jaw-dropping — and unexpectedly hilarious — moment unfolded on Celebs Go Dating when Coleen Nolan fired back with a cheeky insult after being labelled a “people pleaser.”
The 61-year-old Loose Women star had just returned from her first date on the show with a man named Neil. While she admitted he was “a really nice man,” Coleen confessed there was simply no spark.
Despite feeling no real attraction, she revealed she still told him she’d be happy to see him again. Reflecting on the awkward moment, she said she struggled to reject him outright, explaining she didn’t want to hurt his feelings.
Relationship expert Paul C Brunson quickly pointed out that her reaction was “the epitome of people pleasing.” Fellow dating agent Anna Williamson agreed, adding that people pleasers are “lovely, lovely people” — though she admitted she no longer sees herself that way.
That’s when Coleen delivered the line that had everyone in stitches. Joking back at Anna, she quipped that the reason she’d changed was “because now you’re a right b***h.”
The studio erupted in laughter, with Anna punching the air and celebrating the unexpected comeback, clearly delighted by Coleen’s bold humour.
But beneath the laughs, Coleen later opened up about a deeper struggle. She admitted she often feels like she might be “the problem” in her relationships — wanting love, only to pull away once it becomes real.
In recent months, she confessed, she’s realised she doesn’t fully understand what she truly wants, leaving her stuck between craving connection and fearing it at the same time.
