Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has explained why the panel on the ITV show didn't didn't congratulate Stacey Solomon on her pregnancy. The popstar and TV personality took to Instagram to reveal that she and her husband, actor and presenter Joe Swash, are expecting a child.
She posted: "So grateful & can not believe I'm saying this... Another little pickle is on the way... "A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for. To the moon & back bub @realjoeswashy."
Stacey, 33, also shared a video of the moment she revealed to Joe, 40, that she was expecting another baby, the Liverpool Echo reports. In the clip he can be seen entering a bathroom where Stacey is waiting with a positive pregnancy test.

Joe says: "What are you holding? You're joking! This is the best news bubba," before a picture of the couple holding the pregnancy test is shown.
Reacting to the news on Twitter, Stacey's Loose Women co-star, Coleen Nolan said: "Another pickle already?! The Cottage is going to need an extension at this rate! But seriously, massive congratulations @StaceySolomon & @realjoeswash.
"Couldn’t be happier for you both." In a follow-up tweet, Coleen added: "PS, to everyone who has tweeted in wondering why it wasn’t mentioned on today’s @loosewomen it’s because the episodes between Christmas and New Year were pre-recorded.
"No big secret, the pre-records were announced in the Christmas lineup." The couple have two children, son Rex, born in 2019, and daughter Rose, born in October last year. Dagenham-born singer Stacey also has two sons from two previous relationships, while Joe has a son from a previous relationship.
The couple met during filming for the tenth series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! which Stacey won. The pair reportedly began dating in 2015 before announcing their engagement in 2020 and marrying earlier this year.
