Coleen Nolan says women can still struggle with ‘female ageism’

The Loose Women regular is set to take on her first acting role.

Coleen Nolan has said that women continue to struggle with work and motherhood in a culture of “female ageism”.

The Loose Women star and singer with The Nolans has said women can feel redundant after a certain age.

Nolan said ageism still exists for many women, and there is a lack of opportunity for female talent with careers on screen.

She said that beyond Loose Women there are few outlets for “women of a certain age”, and a lot of mothers can struggle to juggle their careers or manage life when their children have grown up.

Nolan has said she is a fierce believer that life does not end at 50, and has launched herself into her first acting role to ensure she lives without regrets.
