Coleen Nolan 'terrified' she'll be replaced on ITV Loose Women in brutal on-air confession
Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has divulged her "terror" at the prospect of artificial intelligence (AI) taking over jobs, potentially endangering her television career. The 59 year old was part of a panel that included Ruth Langsford, GK Barry, and Myleene Klass on Monday (October 28), discussing the impacts of technology and AI on employment.
During the conversation, host Ruth Langsford brought up the hypothetical scenario of using AI to revive the late Michael Parkinson, who passed away in 2023, for new celebrity interviews. While Ruth and Coleen welcomed the idea of seeing the iconic interviewer back on television, Coleen couldn't hide her unease about the broader implications of advancing technologies on job security within their own industry.
Coleen expressed her fear bluntly: "AI frightening the life out of me, all very well and we're all excited, until nobody has a job anymore."
She went on to share with Ruth her anxiety about the future, cautioning, "The AI thing it's not your job, wait until four AI's are sitting here.", reports the Mirror.

It's kind of been the constant thing in my life for 24 years."
She went on to explain why the role means so much to her: "More than anything else, Loose Women has been the constant - so why would I want to give that up?"

Coleen's confession comes after Michael Parkinson's son Mike confirmed the huge new podcast, which will revive his dad's voice to interview celebrities.
He told The Observer: "We're going for a new generation of guest talent, but that doesn't mean he would not go back again to people he interviewed before.
"Doing this now, trying something so new, we feel a bit like he must have felt back in 1971 when his show started. It’s exactly how he delivered his questions – even the pacing is the same. It stills people when they hear it.'
"My father and I used to muse about the people he missed out on talking to; great names of the past. He did not ever lose his desire to interview people – he just lost some of his energy."
