Coleen Nolan has explained why the Loose Women panel didn't congratulate Stacey Solomon after she announced her pregnancy.
The 33-year-old singer and TV presenter shared the news on Instagram that she and her husband, actor and presenter Joe Swash, were expecting a child. Writing on Wednesday, she said: "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."

She shared a video of the moment she revealed to Joe, 40, that she was expecting another baby. 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."
Stacey and Joe 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.
