WELCH, @1JUDILOVE, @NADIASAWALHA
With big personalities like Nadia Sawalha as part of the team, we’d love to be a fly on the wall at the Loose Women Christmas party. And when we catch up with Nadia, she tells us that the do is just as fun as we would expect, revealing, ‘It’s always a hoot,’ and that the stars all wake up with sore heads the following morning.
Nadia, 59, is a huge fan of the festive period and it’s hardly surprising that it’s such a magical time for the family as her eldest daughter, Maddie, 20, was born on Christmas Day. Here, Nadia, who also shares 16-year-old Kiki with husband Mark Adderley, tells Woman’s Own all about her Christmas traditions, her career goals and that she can’t wait to turn 60 next year…

As we near the end of 2023, what do you want for 2024?

Do you have a Loose Women Christmas night out planned?
Yes. It’s one that ITV plans every year. It’s normally a slap-up meal, some festive drinks, we play games and all have a big headache in the morning.
How was the Loose Women tour? Would you do it again?
I had an absolute ball! It was brilliant meeting so many of the audience and it was great being back on stage too. I’d definitely do it again and hope the audience had as much fun as we did.
You’ve had an amazing career so far, but are there any goals that you still want to achieve?
I want to keep building mine and my husband’s YouTube channel. We have lots of plans for new shows next year and I’m looking forward to mine and my sister’s cookery book being a sm
