COLEEN Nolan has revealed she and her singing siblings still talk about their sister Bernie “as if she’s still here”.
Bernie died of breast cancer in 2013 aged 52.
Linda, 62, and Anne, 70, have been treated for the disease.
Loose Women’s Coleen, 56, said: “Bernie would not accept any other scenario except she’s going to live.
“I guess she convinced us of that.
“We talk about her as if she’s still here and it still does feel like she’s a massive part of our family because whatever we do, Bernie is mentioned.”
Coleen also told Piers Morgan that paedo Jimmy Savile asked her to his hotel when she was 14 after The Nolans — five sisters from Ireland — went on Top of the Pops.
She thought then Savile — exposed after his death — was a “dirty old man”.
She tells Piers: “Well at the time I just thought you dirty old man.
“As if I’m going to go up there, I wouldn’t do it anyway.
“I’ve got four sisters on the stage that would have beaten the crap out of him.”
