Loose Women star set to become a grandmother for the third time as her daughter announces pregnancy
Coleen Nolan 's daughter, Ciara Fensome, is pregnant with her first child.
The mother-to-be, 24, took to her Instagram on Saturday to announce that she is expecting a baby with her fiance Maxx Innes, which will be Loose Women star Coleen's third grandchild.
To announce the happy news, the brunette was seen cradling her her blossoming bump.
She wore an olive green silk dress as she soaked up the sun while she enjoyed a stroll along a beach.
Ciara also posted a fun snap with Maxx ad they held up an ultrasound scan of their future child.
Alongside the post, she penned: 'One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending..'
Coleen's Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford flocked to the commments and penned: 'WONDERFUL! Congratulations!' Former panelist Saira Khan chimed in with: 'Wow! ! Congratulations' alongside a red heart emoji.
Another comment read: 'Omg massive congrats to you both! ! You two are gonna be the best parents'; 'OMG, massive congratulations to you both! !'.
After her post, Ciara confessed that she can 'finally' start posting her holiday snaps now that she has made her announcement.
Ciara is currently on holiday in Faliraki with Coleen, who has shared sweet updates from their trip on Instagram.
Coleen is already a grandmother to two children. In 2016, her eldest son Shane Jr welcomed a daughter named Amelia before her son Jake became a father to a little boy in 2024.
The latest family news comes after Max popped the question during a holiday in Vietnam last year.
Ciara posted a photo of the couple holding hands as she showed off her new engagement ring and revealed Max proposed during a late night boat ride.
'This happened last night xxxx' she wrote alongside a photo of the ring. 'It was like a fairytale and I can't wait to spend forever with you @maxxiness I love you xxx'.
After the news, Coleen shared a photo of the happy couple to her Instagram and wrote: 'Well what can I say… I'm so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful girl @ciarafensome to marry him.
'I love them both sooooo much. Miss them even more! Can't wait to see them. Off to buy a hat.'
Coleen was inundated with congratulatory messages from people wishing Ciara and Max well.
Her Loose Women co-host Denise Welch wrote: '"Good news Coleen congratulations to them both.'
Coleen shares Ciara with her second husband Ray Fensome, who she divorced from in 2018. The star is also mother to Shane, 36, and Jake, 32, from her first marriage to Shane Richie.
Coleen revealed in January that Ciara had gone travelling with no set return date.
Discussing 'Empty Nest Syndrome', the former singer admitted to her fellow panellists Ruth Langsford, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson that she has been struggling to cope with the huge family change.
Coleen said: 'They've worked really hard and saved up and I'm so proud of them both and her, but honestly, I just can't stop crying...
'But I'm trying not to do it in front of her because I'm thrilled and I'm proud because what an amazing thing to do. But it's like losing my best friend.' Janet then stunned the panel by demanding Coleen 'grow up'.
Coleen shared a photo of the happy couple to her Instagram and wrote: 'Well what can I say… I'm so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful girl @ciarafensome to marry him'
Ruth pointed out Coleen will find hard to get used to her daughter's absence as Ciara helps 'run her life'.
Coleen agreed: 'She is the mother of the house. My son text me the other day and went, "This is going to do you good mum because you need to grow up"'.
The Blackpool-born star went on to explain that Ciara not only gives a massive help around the house, but she also does a lot of the cooking - easing the workload at home while her mum gets ready for her one-woman tour.
'It's just very stressful. Empty Nest Syndrome is real!' Coleen admitted emotionally.
But Janet quipped: 'Just speaking for her, she's got to be allowed to live her own life.'
'Oh she is being allowed. I don't have to like it, Janet,' replied Coleen, with Janet remarking: 'I know you don't like it but you have got to grow up a bit Coleen. I never thought I'd say those words. But you have got to manage by yourself.'
Although Ciara had already moved out of the family house in October last year, the Loose Women star found it harder to cope with her daughter's oversea trip.
A source previously told New!: 'Coleen has always tried to be a hands-on mum, even when she and her sisters were touring during The Nolans' heyday, she always wanted them around. She even toured while she was pregnant with Jake...
'Coleen's once bustling farmhouse does feel empty without her children...
'But she's not alone in feeling like this. Her nephew Danny, her sister Maureen's son, has moved to the States with his family, so Coleen and Maureen are in the same boat. They'll be supporting each other, despite their busy schedules.'

Orlando Bloom joins Katy Perry and their daughter Daisy in Perth as he gears up for 'heart-to-heart talk' with the pop star amid 'rough patch' in marriage and fight over space flight
Orlando Bloom has joined Katy Perry and their daughter Daisy Dove, five, in Australia amid rumours of trouble in their marriage. The actor, 48, was spotted spending time with his little girl Daisy in Perth on Sunday. Father and daughter were joined by members of his entourage, including a man who appeared to be a security guard. Katy, who performed at Perth RAC Arena that night, did not join the group. Ever the doting dad, Orlando carried Daisy on his shoulders ad they took at stroll around the city's CBD. The little one carried a balloon animal in her hand as she affectionately kissed her dad's head. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Orlando dressed casually for the outing, wearing a long-sleeve printed top and matching black jeans. He did his best to go incognito by wearing a baseball cap on his head. Daisy appeared thrilled to be spending time with her father after being on tour with her mother since the start of June. Orlando's trip Down Under comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship. From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the longtime couple lately. And while rumors may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade long relationship, an insider told The Sun 'no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.' 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets,' a source told the publication. 'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued. Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide. Her tour has caused the 'biggest disruption' in her home life with the Lord of the Rings star. The source said: 'Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives. 'She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids. 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months. 'It has been "go, go, go" and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.' Additionally, Orlando wasn't in favor of Katy's Blue Origin space flight. However, in spite of their disagreements and obstacles, the source insisted it isn't all over for the couple. 'It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together. 'But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch. 'Anyone in long term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.' Despite recent tensions, the source remains optimistic: 'The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.' 'If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this.' It is unknown if Katy is also set to fly to Venice, Italy for the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. The guest list is thought to have less than 200 people, with suspected guests including A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy and Orlando and members of the Trump family. The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical center of Venice, as part of the multi-day-long extravaganza of celebrations. Up until now, little has been known about what may be dubbed as the wedding of the year - but a source in Italy has exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail all of the intimate details that you need to know. According to the insider, Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, will be moored off the coast of San Georgio Maggiore island, which is home to the famous Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church. They shared that the island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29, with the mayor believing that the wedding will take place on the yacht. However, The Misericodria, an iconic event space in Venice, has been booked out from June 26 to June 28.

Ioan Gruffudd's wife Bianca Wallace reveals brutal reality of her pregnancy after his ex-Alice Evans shares reaction to their baby news: 'Some kind of torture'
's wife, Bianca Wallace, has shared a brutally honest account of her difficult pregnancy journey. The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester. 'Life lately… Some real moments, because no one needs to be as shocked as I was to find out how f**ked pregnancy actually is,' she wrote, alongside 13 images and videos detailing weeks of intense morning sickness and physical pain. In one confronting clip, Bianca is seen lying in bed with a heat pack, grimacing in pain as she describes how constant vomiting left her bedridden and unable to sleep. She revealed she vomited so violently she threw her back out for four days, and shared a snap of herself looking pale and drained after throwing up 67 times in one day.

The Australian actress, 32, who is expecting her first child with the Fantastic Four star, 51, took to Instagram to share a raw photo diary and series of emotional videos documenting what she described as 'some kind of torture' during her first trimester In another photo, she is seen clutching a bowl of cornflakes - one of the only foods she could stomach for weeks. The post was both a personal confession and a public service announcement. She reassured others who may be experiencing similarly rough pregnancies, writing: 'You're not crazy! More often than not it isn't just nausea and "morning sickness". It IS sh*t and rough and f**ked and it IS ok to be honest about it!' Her pregnancy update comes just over a week after Bianca and Ioan announced they were expecting their first child together, posting a sweet black-and-white image of the actor kissing his wife's baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' they captioned the snap, which was met with an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends. But while the couple's news delighted many, it appeared to trigger a scathing response from Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans, 55, who shared her own cryptic post following the announcement. Without naming the couple, Alice wrote: 'Some people like to go low. I can't. Not because I'm better. But because I have kids. This s**t is some kind of torture.' The post sparked speculation among fans that it was a veiled dig at her ex and his new wife, reigniting tensions from the pair's bitter public split. Ioan and Alice finalised their divorce in July 2023 but remain locked in a fiery legal battle over spousal and child support for their two daughters, Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. Court documents have detailed years of alleged abuse, online harassment, and restraining orders. Bianca was previously granted a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, with Ioan claiming his ex had embarked on a 'smear campaign' against them. Despite the drama, Ioan and Bianca have pressed on with their life together, sharing footage in April of their low-key wedding ceremony with the caption: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' Ioan, who currently stars in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which has grossed over $400 million globally, has denied Alice's claims that she and their children have been left destitute, saying he's paid over $400,000 more than required under their prenup. Meanwhile, Alice recently revealed she had been evicted from her Los Angeles home, later launching a GoFundMe campaign to help her find housing. 'Thanks to all of you, my girls and I and Emma [the family dog] have a roof over our heads,' she said in a recent update, thanking supporters for their donations. While Ioan and Bianca continue to navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy – and public scrutiny – the couple appear focused on their growing family, with Bianca finishing her post on a lighter note, sharing that her dog Bubba has become her 'protector' through it all. 'This week… Bubba's still taking his protector job very seriously,' she wrote, sharing an adorable image of the pup curled up next to her baby bump.

Shaughna Phillips shows off her bump on Love Island AfterSun as Maya Jama congratulates the former contestant on her pregnancy
Shaughna Phillips showcased her bump on Love Island AfterSun on Sunday, hours after announcing she is pregnant. The former islander, 31, who is also a mother to Lucia, two, looked radiant as she appeared as a special guest on the ITV 2 spin off show. To discuss her her happy news, the blonde beauty wore an elegant white wrap dress. Appearing alongside Demi Jones, Shaughna was congratulated by host Maya Jama after she revealed she is expecting her second child. Walking over to the two guests, Maya said: 'Hello, congratulations are in order, Shaughna!' The host continued: 'I mean amazing. Baby number two?' which the blonde beauty replied. 'two, here you go and busy!'. Taking to Instagram earlier on Sunday, Shaughna revealed she was expecting as she posted a video of herself taking a pregnancy test and showed off her growing bump. She also shared a sweet video of her daughter Lucia wearing a t-shirt saying 'Big Sis' and 'In my big sister era' to go with the announcement. Shaughna did not reveal who the father of her baby is as she wrote: 'Adding a little more love to our family…' Following the birth of her daughter Lucia in April 2023, Shaughna's boyfriend of four years, Billy Webb, 29, was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000. However Shaughna revealed in November that the father of her little girl had been released after serving only 12 months of his sentence and the family reunited to enjoy a Christmas grotto together. The blonde bombshell has been very open with her fans throughout the ordeal and previously revealed on her podcast Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly that she had struggled to come to terms with the situation. She said: 'It's the most gut-wrenching position to be in. Taking to Instagram on Sunday , Shaughna revealed she was expecting as she posted a video of herself taking a pregnancy test and showed off her growing bump 'And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don't let me know, because I feel like unless you've been in this position you can't really have an opinion on it. 'Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy. 'And then, lo and behold, I'm now in this position. And I think the thing is, we're always going to be co-parents. 'And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world. 'And I don't want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever.' Sharing an adorable video to her Instagram announcing he had been released, the reality star revealed that she and her partner had taken Lucia to see Santa and added she never thought this day would come. She captioned the clip: 'If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn't have let myself believe you 'The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special'. The star also revealed to MailOnline that she had struggled raising her daughter as a single mother. She said: 'Having a newborn baby, hormones are all over the place and I was just struggling' 'Anyone who's had kids they'll probably say that when they're a newborn it's easiest because they just lie there and need to be fed but as they get older and they can talk back and say no... It's exhausting.'
