In light of the harrowing news surrounding athlete Chris Hoy, Coleen Nolan has opened up about her sister, Linda.

Coleen Nolan explained that her sister Linda Nolan simply "doesn't want to know how long she has left" as she continues to battle breast cancer after the news it had spread to her brain, bones, and liver.

The former Nolan's star decided to open up about her family situation after Chris Hoy announced his cancer was terminal. Having lost one family member to Cancer - Bernie Nolan - who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2013, Coleen knows the pain that the Hoy family is suffering right now.

Speaking about Chris' shock diagnosis on Tuesday's (October 22) episode of Loose Women, the former songstress told the rest of the panel that she "understood" how the cyclist and his family may be feeling at this time.

It was at this point that she addressed her sister Linda, who is currently battling with the disease every day. Updating on her situation, she told the panel, audience, and viewers: "Linda doesn't want to know how long she's got because it's like counting down the days for how long she'd got left."

"This way, she's living every day like it might be her last," said heartbroken Coleen.
