Coleen Nolan has been fined almost £1,000 and handed six penalty points on her licence after being caught speeding.
The Loose Women star, 58, had been driving her Toyota on Preston New Road in Blackpool, Lancs when she broke the 30mph speed limit on July 8.
She initially pled not guilty but changed her plea to guilty on the day of the trial at Preston Magistrates’ Courts on July 21. In addition to the £900 fine and points on her licence, she must also pay a £360 surcharge to fund victim services and £150 costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.
The TV personality, who has appeared on Loose Women on and off since 2000, shared earlier this month that she had been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on her shoulder and melanoma on her face.
Coleen recalled that she had found this "tiny" bit of skin on her shoulder that was quite red and wouldn't go, which she thought was eczema. It was by chance that the star attended a dermatologist appointment six to seven months ago for a different problem, where she decided to get her shoulder checked out.
'So fed up of tiresome pal flirting with my husband and always putting me down'
The dermatologist then diagnosed her with basal cell carcinoma after taking a look at the red skin on her shoulder. Coleen said she was told it was "nothing to worry about" as it's typically a cancer that doesn't spread but she underwent treatment with a chemo cream.
After six weeks of treatment, which was successful as it meant the skin didn't need to be cut out, the star decided to get a tiny mark and piece of skin on her nose examined.
To which she was later diagnosed with melanoma with the doctor saying: "If you don't treat them, later on in life that will spread and become skin cancer."
Coleen revealed they are going to try the chemo cream again on her face to treat the melanoma.
