Coleen Nolan has done some scary things in her time. She’s sung in public since she was a toddler. She’s broadcast live for 23 years on Loose Women. She’s survived two stays in the Big Brother house. She has also braved the frozen dangers of Dancing on Ice – and she’s even dared to bare all in The Real Full Monty. Surely baking a cake holds no fears?
Coleen might have donned her apron for the new series in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, but the 58-year-old admits, ‘It terrified me. Leading up to it, I woke up having the worst nightmares. I don’t bake. I don’t really cook. I burn toast by looking at it.’
