LW: Coleen Nolan calls Judi Love's habit 'rude'
Loose Women's Coleen Nolan didn't hesitate to chastise her fellow panellists during Wednesday's edition of the daytime talk show.
Kicking off a debate about manners and technology, following Greggs' refusal to serve customers wearing earphones in line, anchor Charlene White set the scene.
Judi Love admitted she frequently uses her phone when being served in shops, sparking a fiery response from Coleen who exclaimed: "I think it's rude!"
Despite Judi's reluctance to label the act as 'rude,' Coleen remained resolute. She declared: "It's bad mannered, it's rude."
The audience clapped in agreement when Judi humorously remarked: "Thank you for attacking me, thank you!"

Even as Coleen chuckled at Judi's jest, she pressed on with her viewpoint, finding it discourteous to take calls while engaged in face-to-face conversation, reports the Mirror.
She argued: "It's like, you're talking to me don't answer the phone?"
Brenda Edwards then joined the fray, suggesting the context matters, particularly if her children are calling.
She explained: "If it's one of my children, I will say, 'It's my child do you mind if I answer it? ' If you say yes, you can't complain."
However, Coleen was quick to rebuke Brenda, pointing out that it isnt always her children calling when she has seen her in such situations.
Coleen confronted: "I've been out with both of you! Don't lie it's not always your children."
In a pretend phone call she had observed, Judi remarked: "Look, it's either the children or something that's got to feed the children so I've got to answer that phone."
Even though Coleen appeared to be seeking affirmation, Judi confessed her unwavering priority will always lie with Coleen.
Yet, Judi further clarified: "It's not about prioritising, I don't need to be a priority, it's about manners."
Undeterred, Judi retorted: "I've got manners! Listen, we're going to the break soon ok, at least I gave you a warning, that's manners!"
The exchange incited roars of laughter in the studio, interpreted as lighthearted banter, capped off by Coleen expressing her affection for Judi, saying, 'I love you', despite their differing opinions.
