COLEEN Nolan has revealed her daughter is too scared to go out after two of her school friends were caught up in the Manchester suicide bombing.

She had planned to take Ciara, 15, to a concert in the city this weekend, but she had to cancel the outing because the teen is so terrified.

Coleen, who lives in Manchester, has revealed Ciara was personally affected by the attack at an Ariana Grande gig on Monday night.

Two of her friends were at the show, but managed to escape unharmed.

But one of them spent all day Tuesday sobbing and crying at school - and Ciara has been left severely shaken.

Coleen phoned into Loose Women today from her home in Manchester, and she revealed she has cancelled plans to take her daughter out this weekend.

She said: "I was taking her to a show in town, at a theatre, but she said she didn't want to go because she is too scared.

"Two of her friends were at the concert, but they managed to escape. One went to school the next day and one didn't.

"The one that went spent all day crying and sobbing."

Coleen is also mum to two sons, Shane and Jake, with her ex-husband Shane Richie.

The attack on the Manchester Arena is the worst terrorist attack in the UK in more than a decade.

Twenty two people died, many of them children, and many more were hospitalised with serious injuries.
