Kerry joins the Nolans

Posted by Jane Murphy

Girls Aloud? Puh! The Saturdays? Bunch of lightweights! Sugababes? Dull, dull, dull! Last night was all about the triumphant return of The Nolans, who kicked off their UK comeback tour in front of a star-studded audience at the Manchester Apollo.

Singing siblings Coleen, Bernie, Linda and Maureen were joined on stage by a bunch of much younger male dancers, who did things like this…

(Don’t have nightmares, kids.)

And then they all went off to the show’s after-party, which was thronging with a tabloid editor’s dream selection of guests, including Kerry Katona and her ever-fragrant husband Mark Croft…

(Kezza used to shop at Iceland with Coleen - remember?)

Also there? Coleen’s Loose Women co-star Denise Welch - who’s rapidly been gaining a reputation for No.1 party girl over recent weeks - showed up with her lovely husband Tim Healy…

Note how Tim keeps a firm hand on his wife’s shoulder. It’s probably for the best, eh?

And here’s Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard, looking positively demure - by her standards, at least…

Other guests included motormouth Shameless star Tina Malone, former Emmerdale harridan Claire King and boy-from-Blue Antony Costa. I bet that was a quiet, low-key evening then - don’t you?
