Anne Nolan emotional as she opens up on family rift that 'broke us apart'
Anne Nolan was left emotional as she opened up about her four-year fallout with her sister that "broke us apart". During Tuesday’s episode of Lorraine Kelly’s ITV hit breakfast show, host Christine Lampard was joined by Anne, 73, as she spoke about the new chapter in her autobiography titled, New Beginnings.
Christine pointed out: “New Beginnings. So this was first released last year but you just keep wanting to add to it.” Anne explained: “Yeah so I just wrote a new chapter, it was actually put away in a drawer for two months then my manager was like ‘Why don’t you finish it’ I’m very lazy but I just thought, 'Ok'.”
She added: “I wanted it to be a life story and not just a show business story so I had to put the good, the bad, and the ugly into it and that’s what I did.”
Christine asked: “You say the good, the bad, and the ugly and you talk about family rifts, which unfortunately we know about, and also wanting to build that up again and it was sadly Bernie passing away that brought you all back together.”
Anne became emotional as she revealed: “I wrote a letter before Bernie passed, I wrote a letter to my sisters and said ‘For our extended family and our children can we heal this rift?'"
