NEWSPAPER / INTERNET NEWS STATEMENT FROM THE WEBMASTER

At the Denise Nolan website we have always tried to keep the site updated and correct. In the Daily Mail this week Denise was reported to have written on her site a piece detailing events in 1995. Denise never wrote the biography section on this site about the Nolans. She wrote her own autobiography on this site under the banner Denise. The Nolans biography was written by the site's webmaster. It is there as a general guide for the Nolans career. It highlights the girls achievements and documents the many highs and lows of their public life. All of the information is freely available anywhere on the web. There are no exclusives and It does not give opinions. The site is updated regularly and pieces are added and taken away if they are seen to not look right at various times. Denise Nolan has never given her input on that section of the site. We deplored the action of Jim Davisdon on Celebrity Big Brother. It appears that the newspaper highlighted an older Biography and selected a few lines without revealing the broader context of the full biography. The full biography supports each and every one of the Nolan Sisters at every single stage of their career. It would never seek to put Linda in a bad light nor indeed ANY Of the Nolan Sisters. The details on the page are there as a matter of fact not as a news item or a headline. It seems that the piece in the press was intended to imply that Denise had decided to put pen to paper in light of Celebrity Big Brother. Denise has never herself ever spoken about the incident. It happened almost 20 years ago and would only be on her website as part of a whole story of the Nolans and NOT a couple of lines written totally out of context. This is why Denise has a website - she does not give press interviews. She knows that her words on her site are HERS and have not been edited or simply lied about. If you want to read the truth about Denise - visit this site and not newspapers.

LINDA NOLAN IN THE CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER HOUSE

Denise is backing her Sister Linda to win Celebrity Big Brother 2014! In the run up to the show Family and closest friends, had to keep quiet about her entering the house. As the show progresses and housemates are given the chance to nominate each other, we at denisenolan.co.uk will be providing numbers to help keep Linda in the show. Denise said "I don't normally watch the show, but I did when Coleen was in the house and I was completely hooked. I know that Linda will do well in there. She is strong and very likeable. I am sure she will connect well with the public and other housemates. I can only dread to think what my phone bill be after the show finishes." Keep coming back to the site for comment from Denise.

Denise Joins The Grand Order Of Lady Ratlings

We are thrilled to announce that Denise will be joining the Grand Order of Ratlings in the near future. The Order, the female arm of the Grand Order Of Rats is a charitable organisation that has been in existence for more than a hundred years. The charity aims to assist members of the theatrical profession, or their dependents, who are in need. The Order has a Queen rat and Princesses. Other members are known as Ratlings. Denise was invited to join by her long standing friend Efie Star, who many Nolan fans will remember starred alongside Denise in her first Panto in Hull in 1980. Other notable Ratlings include Barbara Windsor, Sheila Hancock, Anita Dobson and Vicki Michelle. One of the initiation rules is that the would be Ratling performs a charitable show. Last month Denise appeared at the Entertainment Artists Benevolent Fund's rest home Brinsworth House. We are sure that Denise will lend her support in every way possible to support the Order.

BERNIE - AN UPDATE & PRINTING ERROR CORRECTION

I would also like to thank, again, those many people who have expressed their thoughts and very best wishes for our wonderful amazing sister, Bernie. She is still very much with us.
Can I also thank the many of you who say, the one good thing in all of this sadness, is, it brought us back together again! Unfortunately, this is a Newspaper printing error. Anne and I have been friends with Mo and Bernie for about almost three years, now, after writing all four girls a letter, saying, for the sake of the children and our wonderful extended family, we should make up. Bernie and Mo also agreed it was the adult thing to do and we are very glad to have spent a lot of time with Bernie since her first cancer went into remission. I love ALL my family and would be there for any of them if they needed me and have proved that in the past, (the row nearly drove me to a breakdown. Without Tom, Anne and family and friends, and my lovely Aunty Teresa, plus, some very lovely cousins, I wouldn't have got through it) and never a minute goes by, when I'm not thinking of my sister, Bern and her husband Steve and beloved daughter, Erin. Keep them in your thoughts. Thanks again for your amazingly kind words. Love to all, Denise. xxx

GRAHAM WALKER (THE GRUMBLEWEEDS)

Our deepest sympathies go to the family, and the many friends, especially Robin Colvill, of lovely GRAHAM WALKER , of Grumbleweeds fame. He was one of the nicest and funniest men, I've ever had the pleasure of knowing!!! I remember a karaoke night at my home and Graham was persuaded to attempt to sing YMCA. Halfway through his rendition, the lyrics disappeared and Graham had us literally on the floor with his own interpretation of the words. We'll never forget that night, OR HIM. R.I.P. you will be missed

Statement Concerning Bernie & Cancer

While, obviously we have known, as family, about Bernie's relapse, for some time, we have been moved by the messages of support she has received . It helps to know so many lovely people care. I always knew she was strong, and, as I said, whilst what happened damaged our relationship, the love never died and I am extremely glad we were friendly again before her bad news. As I said, she has always been incredibly strong, and if anyone can beat this, or at least keep this at bay for many years, it's Bernie. She doesn't want to talk about it, and will be mad at anyone showing pity. She wants to get on with her life, and we're helping her do just that. I am sure that if you would care to donate to Cancer Research on her behalf, it would be the best way of showing support. (Link on charity name). My Aunty is also fighting Skin Cancer at this time and I have a releative in my Partner's Family who is fighting pancreatic cancer who is the same age as Bernie) Cancer in any form is a scourge on humanity, and the sooner it becomes no worse than the common cold, the better. Let's hope it's in Bernie's lifetime. I have been asked repeatedly about the family fued, and I reiterate that we are over the hurt and moving on with our lives are now talking with Mo and Bern. Anne and I sent a letter to all four girls more than a year ago. (Believe me, it wasn't easy) We felt the mature thing to do was to start talking again. We will always love them, you can't switch that off. It nearly destroyed us! We also love our nieces and nephews, and we are very close to our cousins. We felt they were all piggy in the middle when it came to family occasions, they didn't know who to invite, who to leave out. That was the main reason for the letter, not hypocricy, but unselfishness! The two more mature members of the four, Mo and Bernie, were happy to start talking again, and consequently, while I think we all know, it will take a long time, if ever, for us to get back to the closeness and loyalty we had, at least now, those we love are not caught in the crossfire. Coleen and Linda chose not to reply to the letter and that is entirely up to them.

BROXBOURNE PANTO LAUNCH

The actors in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs gathered together for the first time at the Hoddesdon venue yesterday, where they also donned the costumes of their characters. Denise, who previously appeared in the Civic’s previous production of Snow White in 2007, will once again feature as the Wicked Queen. She said: “I find it very difficult to be mean and I hate frightening the kids, but I’ve probably had the best reviews for this role.“I’ve played Snow White in 15 pantos and then I decided I was more like her mother.”
