Former Dancing On Ice competitor Coleen Nolan has admitted that she is grateful to ITV for offering her a job presenting it’s spinoff show, but is nervous about how the public will react to her physical appearance.

Coleen, who was once a size 20 but has recently dropped to a svelte 12 told The Daily Record:

“I appreciate that ITV have given me this opportunity. I am nervous about being judged on how I look because women are.

“When you watch The X Factor, it’s always a question of who is going to be the more beautiful or wearing the best clothes, Cheryl or Dannii. We don’t have the same conversation about the two old farts at either end of them.”

She added:

“We are in a world that is weight-obsessed and obsessed about how people should look but I don’t want my daughter to grow up with those issues.
