Loose Women have shared a “big announcement” live on air.
Panelists Charlene White, Coleen Nolan, Judi Love and Frankie Bridge were back on TV screens on Monday (November 25) afternoon to debate some of the latest news headlines.
Throughout the show, host Charlene teased their “huge news” before it was finally revealed that as part of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talking campaign, the ITV show will host a 25-hour Talkathon special for the first time ever on Thursday December 5 at 12.30pm.
It has been confirmed that a famous faces and special guests will join the special programme, which will move onto ITVX from 1.30pm for 24 hours.
It comes after Coleen announced live on air that she’s become a grandmother again. The telly favourite couldn’t hide her excitement as she revealed her son Jake Roche, 32, and his partner Georgia have welcomed a baby boy.
Earlier in the year, Coleen had shared that the couple were expecting, and now she’s over the moon to tell everyone about the new arrival.
She spilled the beans on the show, saying: “I’ve got some good news to announce – my baby boy Jake and his gorgeous fiancee Georgia had a baby boy. So I’ve got a little grandson now, I’ve not even seen him yet apart from pictures.”
Her co-star Kaye Adams piped up with a surprised: “You’ve not seen him?” Coleen explained the situation: “No! He was 5lbs7, he’s tiny! Really surreal, so emotional and just a bit… surreal as in, when one of your kids has a baby. To me, Jake’s still my baby and there he is a dad!”
Coleen then dished on how the new parents want their space for a week to bond with their son, but after that, it’s fair game for grandma. She joked: “I’m going to hound them, then they’re getting married next July so he’ll be about seven months.”
The singer also gushed about how her son Jake is totally smitten with his new addition. “He’s so emotional, already he’s like: ‘Mum, I’m so so obsessed with him and so in love with him.'”.
