Coleen Nolan found herself in hot water during Wednesday's episode of ITV's Loose Women, after making a pointed remark towards fellow panellist Brenda Edwards that was swiftly labelled as "bang out of order". The 60-year-old presenter returned to the lunchtime talk show alongside Christine Lampard, 46, Brenda Edwards, 56, and Jane Moore, 63, for a segment that took an unexpected turn into domestic organisation.
Bin Chat Sparks Tension
The conversation began light-heartedly as the panel discussed recent headlines, including a story about Britain being "a nation obsessed with bins". Christine Lampard jokingly turned to Brenda Edwards, stating: "Are you obsessed with your bins? And I look to you Brenda because I know you are!"
Brenda responded with enthusiasm about her household waste management system, explaining: "I wouldn't call it obsession, I call it organisation. It means a lot to me because I think that it is important for the environment to make sure that we've got things in the right places."
A Detailed Domestic System
The 56-year-old elaborated on her meticulous approach, revealing she has implemented a structured system with her children. "I have, with the kids, told them 'This is the bin for the food', I've put my biodegradable liner in there so that it's nice and clean," she shared. Brenda further described how she adapted her methods after finding teabags in the wrong containers, moving some food waste to a disposal unit or recycling it into her garden.
Her motivation stemmed from practical concerns, as she explained: "I have done that because of where I lives, I have had a lot of foxes going into my rubbish and making a bit of a mess outside my house." The system involves three separate bins in her household, with specific containers for paper and food waste positioned strategically in her kitchen for efficiency.
Coleen's Controversial Quip
As Brenda continued detailing her domestic arrangements, Coleen Nolan appeared increasingly unimpressed. The tension culminated when Coleen interjected with a pointed question about Brenda's personal life: "Do you talk like this with your new chap?"
Brenda responded diplomatically, noting: "He's very good with the organisation. He likes my organisation." Undeterred, Coleen pressed further with a more sarcastic inquiry: "Is that what you have in common? Does he collect bins?"
This prompted Brenda to deliver the now-viral rebuke: "Coleen, that's bang out of order." Fortunately, the atmosphere remained light-hearted as both women shared a laugh, with Jane Moore steering the conversation back on track.
Background to Brenda's Relationship
The exchange referenced Brenda Edwards' relatively new romance, which she first revealed publicly in November 2025. The television personality took to Instagram to share a heartfelt anniversary post featuring a photo of herself holding hands with her partner, whose face remained unseen.
In her emotional caption, Brenda wrote: "A year ago, you walked into my life with laughter in your beautiful eyes and so much unconditional love in your heart and every day since has been that much brighter. Your humor makes the ordinary magical, your love makes the difficult easy, and your steady spirit makes me feel safe enough to dream bigger than I already do."
She had previously teased the relationship during an earlier Loose Women appearance, mentioning a holiday with "somebody" that prompted excited reactions from the studio audience. When pressed for details, Brenda remained coy, stating: "That's all you're getting! Apart from, I will say you know I think that it is quite nice. Opposites do attract. I do believe that."
Communication and Common Interests
During that earlier discussion, Brenda emphasised the importance of communication in her new relationship, explaining: "Not rules as such, but we do have common interests, and I think that's important because then you don't mind if they want to go and do something. It's all about communication with it, and I think that's key, and I'm enjoying having that sort of communication."
Wednesday's bin-focused conversation ultimately returned to lighter territory after the brief tension, with the panellists continuing to engage in their characteristic banter. Loose Women airs weekdays from 12:30pm on ITV1 and is available for streaming on ITVX, regularly featuring such candid exchanges between its popular presenters.
