The Loose Women star shared a moving video on social media this festive season

This week, Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan shared a touching tribute to mark the first Christmas without her sister Linda Nolan.

Linda, who battled cancer for two decades, sadly died at the age of 65 after being admitted to the hospital with double pneumonia at the start of the year.

Since her sister’s death, Coleen has opened up about her grief on the ITV show and spoke about Linda’s funeral after returning to work.

The 60-year-old recently shared an insight into a sweet family tradition with her followers before Christmas Day, involving her late sister and the rest of her family.

In the video, her followers could see an old clip of the family, including Linda, sitting around a fire, all singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas together.

As the footage played, Coleen was reacting to the sweet moment, noting that she cried in the clip when they were all singing.

At one point, she commented: “We’ll never be able to do that again.”

She captioned the video: “This one hits a little harder this year [sic] One of our favourite Christmas carols to sing as a family, we’ve been doing it for as long as I remember. Love to all.”

It wasn’t long before people commented on the moving video, as one person said: “Sending you so much love, Coleen.”

Someone else wrote: “Oh, bless you! This time of year is always harder with those we love no longer with us, wishing you and your beautiful family, thinking of you all.”

Another fan added: “Sending so much love. Such beautiful voices.” While one person added: “Hold on to those beautiful memories lovely.”

Sadly, Linda isn’t the only sibling Coleen has lost, as in 2013, her sister Bernie died at the age of 52 from breast cancer.

Speaking about her sister in the past, Coleen shared that her family remember Bernie both on her birthday and the day she died by having a vodka mule.

While appearing on Loose Women, she confessed: “I think it’s because when we all get together, because she loved a party, so when we all get together at a party, it makes me miss her more.”

Admitting that such gatherings make her feel Bernie’s absence even more acutely, she continued: “For me. It’s not, ‘Oh, I like to have this thing that’s going to help me remember them’.

“Because I never, ever, from the day she died or my parents died, ever forgot. I’ll never forget.”

Loose Women is available to watch on ITVX.
