Loose Women host Coleen Nolan today hit back after viewers accused the show of ignoring Stacey Solomon‘s baby news.
Stacey, who is a regular on the ITV chat show, announced she is expecting her fifth child last night (December 28) on Instagram.
But viewers were left puzzled when none of the panel even mentioned the 33-year-old’s exciting news.
Loose Women today: No mention of Stacey’s baby news
After Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch, Kelle Bryan and Linda Robson all appeared on today’s show, fans didn’t understand why none of them had said a thing.
Taking to Twitter, they voiced their thoughts.
One wrote: “Now, you know #LooseWomen’s not live if they don’t mention Stacey’s baby news.”
A second surmised: “It’s why they are not tackling current news stories and how Phil linked to Colleen as they were scheduled.”
Another pondered: “#ThisMorning now #LooseWomen both pre-recorded, else they would be straight on comments about Stacey Solomon being preggers again!!”
Coleen Nolan hits back
And their suspicions were confirmed, with Coleen Nolan taking to Twitter to clear up any confusion.
Coleen posted a sweet congratulations to pal Stacey, joking they may need to get an extension on their house.
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

And when she was questioned about the lack of mention on the show today, she pointed out she had done a follow-up tweet.
It read: “PS, to everyone who’ve [sic] 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 line-up!”
