Coleen Nolan has admitted that she’s being caused so “much stress” by seeing details on social media of horrific cases like that of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance ahead of a new documentary tonight.
Speaking about whether the public need to know about the investigation into suspect Christian Brueckner looked at in detail in Madeleine McCann: The Unseen Evidence, Coleen told Loose Women: “My thing is I think we all have this morbid curiosity and I’m including myself in that. But over the last few months, I’ve realised how much stress it’s causing me to the point where sometimes I can’t sleep at night because I don’t need actually to know all those details.
Madeleine McCann went missing in May 2007
“It stays in my mind. Whether it’s about this case or anything – awful things on social media that I go to scroll past but then something else comes up but you’ve seen it.”
Coleen added that since the introduction of police officer bodycam, the footage has “become a reality show on social media”. She said: “We’re seeing every single awful thing that happens whether it’s this country or around the world. I just think we’re being overloaded with things that are out of our control.
“No wonder people have serious mental health issues because we’re being bombarded with so much negative, awful information.
“No wonder we don’t let our children go two foot out of our sight in a children’s play area because we think, ‘But that video I saw last week on social media.’ Everyone is becoming so paranoid about life in general. Life’s too short.”
Tonight’s documentary, which is airing on Channel 4, looks into a year-long investigation by Sun journalist Rob Pattinson into new evidence around Madeleine’s disappearance. The film is believed to highlight Brueckner’s alleged obsession with young children. Brueckner has denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Earlier today, it was reportedly that police investigating the child’s disappearance from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007 after remaining tight-lipped about a hard drive of images found at the home of prime suspect Brueckner.
The pictures are said to be part of new evidence that will be revealed in tonight’s documentary after German police searched Bruckner’s home and reportedly found children’s clothes and guns.
