Bucks Fizz’s Mike Nolan pretended to be Coleen Nolan’s brother.
The ‘Making Your Mind Up’ singer made a joke about being related to the Nolan Sisters – including Coleen and her siblings Linda, Bernie, Anne, Maureen and Denise – but it stuck and for a long while, everyone was convinced Mike was related to the ‘I’m in the Mood for Dancing’ singers.
Mike revealed: "I’ll tell you what I said. They used to call you the Nolan brothers and then he said to me, this award should be picked up by a Nolan brother. I said, actually I’m their elder sister … Not that I did drag, what I meant was that you’re the Nolan brothers."
To which Coleen retorted: "It was you not denying it! People were going, so are you related to them girls, and you said they’re all my sisters."
And the 52-year-old television personality revealed it got to a point where, instead of denying it, she just went along with the mistake.
Speaking on ITV’s Loose Women, where she was interviewing The Fizz – Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston, Bobby McVay and Mike – Coleen shared: "But it stayed with us. And when we were on tour and you were on tour, you’d just had a massive hit single and people would go, ‘Oh your brother’s doing well, isn’t he?’
"It got to a point where I was so annoyed about going, ‘He’s not a brother,’ that I started saying, ‘Yeah, he’s doing great.’"
