The 23-year-old actress - who has made numerous appearances on the programme since she took part in 'Celebrity Big Brother' in January - will join regulars Ruth Langsford, Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street Porter, Linda Robson and Nadia Sawalha - among others - on the lunchtime show after she's given birth.

Taking to her Twitter account after her appearance on the programme on Thursday (17.11.16), she said: "Ran out of time to announce that but so excited to be joining my ladies next year LOVE my loose women family!U have been amazing! (sic)."

And the brunette beauty, who is due to give birth in January, "can't wait" to introduce her little son, whom she has with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell, to the panel.

She added: "Can't wait to bring little babs to meet you next year @nadiasawalha @LindaRobson58 @NolanColeen next year - thanks @loosewomen you all X (sic)."

The former 'Hollyoaks' star won't be the only one to sit on the panel on a regular basis as Katie Price - who joined the series in January alongside Vicky Pattison - is planning to return to the show just before Christmas following her month-long break.

She said recently: "Back on loose women 2 December woooo. (sic)".

Katie revealed in October she was going to take a month off the programme to have therapy with her husband Kieran Haler to resolve some outstanding issues relating to his extra-marital affairs with two of her best friends.

Stacey Solomon will also be making another appearance after she's finished her presenting gig on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' spin-off 'Extra Camp'.

Lisa Riley and Martine McCutcheon also take regular seats on the panel.
