That same year they released their debut single, "But I Do", with Coleen singing lead vocals. Owing to her age, Coleen would not become a full-time member of the group until 1980, when she was fifteen, although she does appear in the music video to their 1979 hit "I'm In the Mood for Dancing", which reached number three in the UK singles chart.{{cite magazine|url=https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/child-star-tv-legend-coleen-nolans-incredible-life-pictures/|magazine=Closer|accessdate=20 April 2021|title=From child star to TV legend: Coleen Nolan's incredible life in picture|first=Kayleigh|last=Dray|date=8 September 2015}} The group had further UK top twenty hits with "Don't Make Waves" (1980), "Gotta Pull Myself Together" (1980), "Who's Gonna Rock You" (1981), "Attention to Me" (1981), "Chemistry" (1981) and "Don't Love Me Too Hard" (1982).

Beginning on 11 January 2009, Nolan took part in the fourth series of Dancing on Ice on ITV. Of her appearance on the show Nolan said, "I've never really skated. When I was 14 I used to go to Disco Beat in Blackpool with my friend. We'd skate round once, hanging on to each other, and spend the rest of the night posing, like 14-year-old girls do. I could only go forwards, I couldn't stop!" She was eliminated in week 10, finishing in fourth place. She went on to co-host the spin-off show Dancing on Ice Friday with Ben Shephard in 2010.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1582349/|title="Dancing on Ice Friday" (2010)|publisher=Internet Movie Database|access-date=10 February 2010}} and on 27 February 2011, she hosted Dancing on Ice, in place of Holly Willoughby who fell ill.[http://www.ok.co.uk/posts/view/32549/Coleen-Nolan-to-present-Dancing-on-Ice-tonight-as-poor-Holly-falls-ill/ Coleen Nolan to present Dancing on Ice tonight as poor Holly falls ill] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130421020340/http://www.ok.co.uk/posts/view/32549/Coleen-Nolan-to-present-Dancing-on-Ice-tonight-as-poor-Holly-falls-ill/ |date=21 April 2013 }} OK!

=Controversies=

Nolan, at various times, has made controversial statements and shared opinions which some have deemed offensive.

In 2005, on Loose Women, she said that if her 16-year-old son passed his exams, she would pay for him to go on a sex trip to Amsterdam and that she had given her fiancé Ray Fensome permission to have a one-night stand during the proposed trip.{{cite news|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/nolan-defends-sons-sex-trip-1072179|title=Nolan defends son's sex trip reward|work=Manchester Evening News|date=1 July 2005|access-date=3 May 2019}} She gained criticism from Shane Richie, who said he was "disgusted and appalled" by her comments about their son, and that he hoped and assumed "it was said in total jest."{{cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/shanes-anger-at-sex-trip-promise-7258367.html|title= Shane's anger at sex trip promise |work=Evening Standard|date=2 June 2005|access-date=3 May 2019}} Nolan defended her comments, saying that she had told her son that she would pay for a long weekend for him anywhere in the world and that he had mentioned how he and his friends had always wanted to go to Amsterdam to see the red light district. If he planned to go on a trip to Ibiza everybody would have thought that was fine, even though he would probably have unprotected sex with numerous girls.{{cite news|url=http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2005/06/03/story176377447.asp|title=Nolan defends offer to pay for son's sex trip|last=Kirby|first=Jane|date=3 June 2005|work=Irish Examiner|access-date=27 February 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090309064206/http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2005/06/03/story176377447.asp|archive-date=9 March 2009}}{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a21549/richie-appalled-by-nolans-hooker-plan.html|title=Richie appalled by Nolan's hooker plan|last=Wilkes|first=Neil|date=2 June 2005|work=Digital Spy|access-date=1 March 2009}}

In the News of the World newspaper, Nolan said, "In an ideal world I'd never condone my son sleeping with hookers, but it's a fact of life that boys of his age have casual sex. So if I'm pushed, I'd rather he does it somewhere well-policed and where the girls have health checks than behind the wall of a club in Ibiza with absolutely no safeguards." In relation to her giving Fensome permission to have a one-night stand, she said: "In all honesty, I couldn't care less [if he does]. What bothers me more is the thought of Ray going into a bar, chatting up a really stunning girl, having sex with her, spending the night and waking up with her the next morning. I couldn't cope with that."{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a21621/coleen-nolan-defends-prostitute-promise.html|title=Coleen Nolan defends prostitute promise|last=Wilkes|first=Neil|date=6 June 2005|work=Digital Spy|access-date=1 March 2009}}

In May 2015, she compared gay rights with supporting ISIS, and said that bakery owners should be permitted to discriminate against same-sex couples who wish to buy a wedding cake. Her comments were made on Loose Women after a Belfast bakery company was sued for refusing to bake a cake in support of same-sex marriage. Following the show, some viewers took to Twitter and called for ITV to dismiss Nolan for making the comments.{{cite news|last1=Percival|first1=Ashley|title=Coleen Nolan Sparks Outrage On 'Loose Women' By Appearing To Compare Gay Rights With Supporting ISIS|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/05/19/coleen-nolan-loose-women-gay-marriage-cake-isis_n_7313432.html|access-date=19 May 2015|work=HuffPost|date=19 May 2015}}

In August 2018, Nolan, her sister Linda and fellow Loose Women panellists Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson caused controversy due to their actions in an on-air argument with guest Kim Woodburn, which led to Woodburn walking off set crying after the topic of Woodburn's childhood abuse arose.{{Cite web|title=Kim Woodburn storms off Loose Women after calling Coleen Nolan 'trash'|url=https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/coleen-nolan-kim-woodburn-loose-women/|access-date=2021-04-19|website=Closer}} Woodburn and Coleen Nolan had an onscreen history of a sour relationship due to comments and claims made from both parties in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017. Woodburn had been invited to come on the show to reconcile with Nolan, but later claimed her attendance was due to the money offered.{{Cite web|last=Hill|first=Rose|date=2018-08-29|title=Crying Kim Woodburn storms off Loose Women as she brands Coleen 'lying trash'|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/crying-kim-woodburn-storms-loose-13158297|access-date=2021-04-18|website=mirror|language=en}} The row led to over 8,000 complaints to Ofcom, with the majority accusing Nolan and her fellow panellists of "bullying Woodburn".{{cite news |last1=Frost |first1=Katie |title=Kim Woodburn's Loose Women row sparked a record 7,657 complaints |url=http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/loose-women/news/a865117/loose-women-kim-woodburn-coleen-nolan-ofcom-complaints/ |access-date=30 August 2018 |work=Digital Spy |date=30 August 2018 |language=en}} Some of Woodburn's supporters even set up a campaign to have Nolan removed from the Loose Women panel completely. Nolan apologised on This Morning in September 2018. She confirmed that she had taken a break from Loose Women, and that she had also postponed her Never Too Late solo concert tour.{{cite news|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-coleen-nolan-cancels-solo-13203330|title=Coleen Nolan CANCELS solo tour and quits Loose Women after shocking Kim Woodburn row and horrific online bullying|newspaper=Daily Mirror|access-date=6 September 2018}} Nolan returned to Loose Women in December 2018.{{Cite web|title=Coleen Nolan receives standing ovation after Loose Women return|url=https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/celebrities/coleen-nolan/coleen-nolan-loose-women-return-kim-woodburn/|access-date=2021-04-19|website=Heart|language=en}}
