Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has welcomed an exciting new addition to her family
Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha has welcomed a “new addition” to her family after a devastating loss.
On Tuesday’s (December 2) episode of the popular ITV show, hosted by Christine Lampard and featuring Nadia, Myleene Klass, and Brenda Edwards, the panel delved into the day’s top stories.
The programme kicked off with the panellists sharing their pregnancy experiences and discussing whether becoming mothers had enhanced their body confidence.
Following this heartfelt conversation, Christine announced: “Speaking of babies, Nadia has a new addition to the family everybody.”
Nadia humorously responded: “I thought you were going to announce a pregnancy, I was getting all ready!” She then disclosed that she has welcomed a new puppy named Pepper into her home, reports the Express.

“I’ve got a new puppy. We’ve got a puppy. She’s [called] Pepper, she’s a Miniature Schnauzer,” the star revealed, as an adorable video of the latest family member was displayed on screen.
This joyful news follows the sad passing of Nadia’s cherished dog Chi Chi in October due to acute renal failure.
Nadia continued: “As many of you will know, a few months ago, we lost our Chi Chi, who was the sweetest, kindest dog ever. And it was actually Coleen [Nolan] that said to me, ‘Don’t wait too long. Just get another dog.’
“My eldest, especially, was really suffering with grief. [Pepper] doesn’t replace, that’s the fear. It was just the amount of love we felt straight away, it was ridiculous. We only got her on Sunday, we’re all obsessed.”
Reflecting on the shift in her family dynamics, the star shared: “What’s so lovely is, because before when we had our dogs, the kids had been small. Now, I’m a grandmother.”
She continued: “So, when I came down this morning, my daughter was like this [in a panicked voice], ‘She woke up at three and five and six, and she still wants food’. And I went, ‘Yeah, that’s motherhood’.
“Mark [Adderley, Nadia’s husband] and I are getting all the cuddles and the girls are having to do all the other stuff. But I still did wake up at half past four this morning, [I’m] a bit knackered.”
Nadia went on to say: “I didn’t know much about Schnauzers before, but they’re the sweetest, craziest dogs. Nosey, nosey, nosey. Her mum’s called Daphne and her dad’s called Ted. Daphne and Ted gave us the Spanish Inquisition before we could take her away. So, we’re really excited about her character. Insane [to get her] around Christmas time.”
Christine added: “No, it’s lovely. Perfect. I’m really happy for you. Gorgeous Pepper.”
