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...
Hi Nadia, merry almost Christmas! What does the festive season mean to you?
The birth of my precious daughter Maddie, who was born on Christmas Day! I'm still trying to wipe out the memories of the actual birth though, as that was tough. But the joy of her is everything and even on the day she was born we managed to see family and introduce her to the world.
As we near the end of 2023. what do you want for 2024?
