Mum-of-the-show Coleen Nolan’s daughter Ciara is expecting her first little one

Published on June 24, 2025

Just part way through Monday’s episode, presenter Ruth Langsford quietly paused the chatter to drop the surprise announcement that had us all smiling. “Co‑star Coleen Nolan’s daughter Ciara Fensome is expecting her first baby with her partner Max,” she revealed. Within seconds, the panel erupted into cheers, and you could see Coleen practically buzzing with excitement.

Coleen, all smiles at 60, shared with viewers how they’ve been in on the secret for a while now, but Ciara and Max preferred to keep things under wraps. “We’ve known for ages but they like to keep it all secret,” she said. She then filled us in on the timeline: “She’s 20 weeks now, she’ll be 21 weeks this week”, reported Belfast Live.

Nobody was in a hurry to unearth baby’s sex, but Coleen did give us a proper peek into how it’s all started to feel so real. “She has got a bump but it’s taken 20 weeks,” she laughed, explaining how Ciara was still slipping into her size 8 jeans and keeping everyone guessing. “I was like ‘you’re not pregnant are you?’ and then all of a sudden she could feel it kicking and stuff”, reported the Express.

There were honest moments too. The proud mum admitted that while Ciara is absolutely thrilled, the journey is already stirring up nerves. “She’s so excited, she’s really scared and really worried,” Coleen confessed. It’s that kind of mix—pure joy laced with nerves—that so many of us recognise when a family expands.

With love beaming from everyone on the Loose Women panel, viewers got a genuine sense of how much this means to the Nolan family. There were hugs, laughter, and genuine tears (well, at least watery eyes), as the panel showered Coleen with congratulations.

It’s not often you see such an unguarded moment on daytime telly. And while this is Ciara’s first baby, the world already feels full of love for baby Nolan. The combination of shared joy and an air of anticipation had viewers grinning along at home, perhaps imagining the nursery, the first scan photos, and all those firsts still to come.

And let’s be honest, the revelation that someone’s still rocking size 8 jeans at 20 weeks is a very modern twist—even a touch of fashion envy for some of us. But it’s also a reminder of how these journeys look different for everyone. Ciara’s approach—taking it quietly, cautiously, and embracing every moment—is a lovely counterbalance to today’s oversharing culture.

By sharing the news in real time, Loose Women gave us something warm and human—just a mum bursting with pride, a daughter stepping into a whole new phase of life, and a TV moment that felt more like being in on family gossip than watching a scripted show.

The whole segment felt like sitting around a kitchen table with friends, all in stitches, wiping happy tears, and whispering excited “ahhs” when those first kicks get mentioned. It’s the sort of casual, heartfelt warmth that gives daytime TV its magic. And after that announcement, you couldn’t help feeling part of the celebration at home.

So, here’s to Ciara and Max as they embark on the incredible adventure of becoming parents. And to Coleen Nolan, whose pride and joy shone brightly across our screens, reminding us all of what feels good about television—moments where real life unfolds live in front of us, and every cheeky grin, well‑practised pause and barefoot revelation turns our Monday into something special.
