Coleen Nolan has been support by fans and co-stars after announcing a major family update on Loose Women.

The 60-year-old, from Blackpool, has joyously shared the “exciting” news that she’s set to become a grandmother for the third time. While appearing on Monday’s instalment of the ITV show, Ruth Langsford took a moment from her usual presenting role to allow the mum-of-three to deliver her delightful family announcement.

Ruth said: “Coleen has some very, very happy news for us. We like happy news as there’s a lot of bad news around at the moment.”

Coleen said: “It’s happy news for me, I don’t know if anybody else cares? My daughter Ciara is expecting, so it’ll be my third grandchild.”

She went on to explain: “We’ve known for ages but they like to keep it all secret. She’s 20 weeks now, she’ll be 21 weeks this week.”

Charlene White then asked: “So you know the sex?”

Coleen cheekily replied: “Yes, and I’m not telling you.”

When asked if Ciara has a bump, Coleen answered: “She has got a bump. But it’s taken 20 weeks. I kept coming over and she was still in six 8 jeans and I was saying ‘you’re not pregnant’.

“Then all of a sudden she could feel it kicking.”

Coleen also disclosed her intentions to create a special nursery in her home, providing a welcoming space for her trio of grandchildren when they visit. Reflecting on Ciara’s emotions during this period, Coleen conveyed: “She’s so excited. She’s really scared and she’s really worried.”

Coleen recently opened up about her own milestone as she turned 60 in March this year. The mum-of-three has recently split from her boyfriend, Michael Jones, and said she fears she might not find love again.

She said: “[I’m] turning 60 as a single woman and, while that’s right for me at this stage, I did have a moment this week of feeling a little sad that I might not get to love again.

“I love being in love and being loved, and I feel I still have a lot to give in that department.” Coleen met Michael on dating app Tinder and were in a relationship for three years.
