…And it’s a pretty clear NO.
It may have been a passing couple of comments, but people jumped on the moment Coleen Nolan reminisced about her family’s singing history on Celebrity Big Brother, by describing them as the equivalent of a British Von Trapp family.
To be fair, the Irish sisters (which at some point or other featured Maureen, Anne, Bernie, Coleen, Linda and Denise Nolan) DID release a few hits in the 70s and 80s, such as I’m In The Mood For Dancing, but viewers thought the comparison to the family from The Sound Of Music was a bit much…
