Celebrity Big Brother evictee Angie Best upset the Loose Women panel by suggesting Coleen Nolan’s marital problems could be a result of her weight.

Best – who was booted out of the famous TV home on Friday night – was on the show to talk about her time in the house and said Nolan’s weight and confidence issues had led to her “crisis” with husband Ray Fensome.

Speaking about Nolan she said: “Coleen is a very strong independent woman. But at that age you start to lose your mojo and when you lose your mojo. You lose your confidence.

“I didn't know [then] about her marriage problems. But it’s her marriage problems that caused her to lose her mojo. She is down and she’s lost. It happens to women at that age and I said to her ‘babe, it’s an easy fix. I can do that for you.’”

Disgruntled by her comments, Lisa Riley said: “She’s not in the right mindset. She’s got the marital problems – the last thing she wants to think about is training and weight loss. The last thing she probably wanted to hear is ‘lose weight’.”

Best said: “But if she’d taken that on board sooner maybe she wouldn’t have had marital problems”

Linda Robson defended Nolan and said: “I don't think the marital problems are to do with her weight.”

Best continued: “Well, he said he didn’t find her attractive anymore. She still needs to have her confidence back.”

Riley said Best could have approached Nolan in a “sisterly way” and acted more like a “mate” to help her.

Viewers defended Riley and branded Best “insensitive”.

One viewer wrote: “Angie Best is being a total narcissist - how can she even suggest Coleen's marriage could've been saved by weight loss.”

Another tweeted: “How can Angie Best say that about Coleen that is so degrading to large ladies how dare she cheeky b**** we all have problems.”

Nolan and Best locked horns in the Big Brother house after Best suggested that Nolan’s ‘negativity’ could be caused by smoking.

Best said: “You smoke. You're putting all that toxic poison into your body and you wonder why your body can't get into a positive mode.”

Clearly irritated, Nolan replied: “I'm going to smash your face in, in a moment.

“I mean I appreciate your concern but you're getting right on my t***.”
