Now Anne Nolan, 64, has waded into the argument, after Coleen, 49, confronted 39-year-old Katie Hopkins for comments she made about their sister Linda, 55.
When CBB star Katie appeared on Loose Women last week, Coleen asked her if she thought it was appropriate to mock a cancer victim. While Linda was on Celebrity Big Brother last year, Katie made comments about her weight.
Coleen said: “Do you not think you should have looked into the reason why her arm is fat? It’s because she had breast cancer.
“She has Lymphedema [a side effect of breast cancer that causes swelling] and she’s had a mastectomy. Her biggest insecurity in life is her arm, that arm you constantly pulled her up on.”
Unsurprisingly Katie wasn’t sympathetic and insisted if you put yourself in the public eye you must expect criticism.
In an interview with the Mirror, Anne blasted social commentator Katie. She said: “Having failed on one reality show, and I’m told failed at other things in her life, the only way she is ever going to achieve the fame she so obviously craves is by being verbally abusive and cruel.
“Making personal comments about people without knowing their circumstances does in my opinion portray a lack of comment sense. She has spouted her venom at many people including my sister.
“I am not even going to repeat it, but at the very least it was disgusting and for anyone who has had cancer, inhumane.”
