Coleen Nolan has spoken about her time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012, insisting that the show\u2019s producers \u201cliterally couldn’t pay me enough\u201d to re-enter the Big Brother house.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Mirror, she explained that she loved watching the series, but would \u201cabsolutely not\u201d do it again.<\/p>\n
“I always thought it’s a good show. I love things that are kind of even more than physical, like a mental experiment.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that’s what Big Brother is. It’s a psychological experiment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Loose Women star continued by saying that being a housemate was \u201cpossibly mentally one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think it’s had a long enough break that it’ll be interesting to see it come back now.\u201d<\/p>\n The Nolans singer, who recently reunited with her boyfriend, said: \u201cI also want to phone them all up and go ‘You have no idea how hard it is’ I don’t think anyone does.<\/p>\n “It was very close to breaking me, completely. 24 hours feels like a week an hour feels like 24 hours. And when I say there is nothing to do.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is nothing to do. It is mentally a massive challenge.

But that had nothing to do with the panel that was to do with more to do with people behind the scenes at the time.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/79\/590x\/secondary\/4969490.jpg?r=1695226395691\")
