Coleen Nolan’s daughter Ciara, 24, announces first pregnancy in heartwarming update as Loose Women stars rally around
Ciara Fensome, daughter of Loose Women presenter Coleen Nolan, has revealed she is expecting her first child with fiancé Maxx Innes.
The 24-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Saturday with two photographs – one showing her cradling her baby bump and another featuring the couple holding ultrasound images in a photo booth.
“One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending,” Ciara wrote in her caption to her 17,300 followers.
Following the announcement, she posted on her Instagram Story that she could “finally” begin sharing holiday photographs from her current trip to Faliraki with her mother.
The pregnancy announcement quickly drew congratulations from her mum’s Loose Women colleagues.
Ruth Langsford commented “WONDERFUL! Congratulations!” on the post, whilst former panellist Saira Khan wrote “Wow!! Congratulations” with a red heart emoji.
Fellow presenter Denise Welch also responded with well wishes, writing “Congratulations @ciarafensome”. Charlene White added “congrats!!!” and Kelle Bryan commented “Such lovely news”.
Shane Richie, Nolan’s ex-husband and father to her two sons, liked the announcement post.

Friends and followers also flooded the comments section with messages of support, with one writing “Omg massive congrats to you both!! You two are gonna be the best parents.” (sic)
Fensome became engaged to Innes in April 2024, with proud mother Nolan announcing the news on social media at the time.
“Well, what can I say….I’m so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful daughter @ciarafensome to marry him,” she wrote. “I love them both soooo much. Miss them even more! Can’t wait to see them. Off to buy a hat x.” (sic)
This will be Nolan’s third grandchild. Her eldest son, Shane Jr, welcomed daughter Amelia in 2016, whilst son Jake became a father to a baby boy in November 2024. Both sons are from Nolan’s marriage to actor Richie.
The happy news comes after a difficult period for the Nolan family. Nolan lost her sister Linda in January, and her brother Brian was subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Fensome is Nolan’s daughter with ex-husband Ray Fensome, whom she married in 2007 before divorcing in 2018.
The pair have remained close friends despite their separation.
Nolan, who is currently single following her split from boyfriend Michael Jones in December 2024, has been holidaying in Rhodes with Fensome.
