While chatting about her time on the ITV skating competition, Coleen revealed that it was the "scariest thing she's ever done". She said: "I did that show in 2009 and it was the scariest thing I've ever done. It never left me that fear, week in, week out.

Coleen also revealed that unlike the younger contestants on the show, she was worried about the consequences of falling and injuring herself. She said: "I think because I was one of the oldest contestants, you look at all the young people coming on and they have no fear whatsoever. They're not scared about falling, they don't worry about the consequences of falling, whereas for me I was thinking, 'If I fall and break a leg, who's going to do the school run?' Kiera was only seven or eight at the time."
Coleen opened up to her fellow panellists
The Loose Women star did point out that competing on Dancing on Ice has helped her when facing other challenges in life. She said: "Since that show, where it did change my life is now when I'm scared of anything, I always go to myself, 'You've danced on ice you'll be fine.'"
