ITV Loose Women's Coleen Nolan introduces new family member as she reveals home chaos
Coleen Nolan has introduced a new family member - a 14 year old dog called Buster - and revealed that she now has 29 pets and is planning on adding to it
Coleen Nolan has introduced a new four-legged friend to her household - a dog named Buster.
The Loose Women star unveiled on today's episode that another creature has joined her extensive menagerie. Coleen opened up to co-hosts Ruth Langsford, Kelle Bryan, and Myleene Klass regarding the latest furry addition.
During her appearance on the show, Coleen shared a heartwarming tale: "So I'd already decided we have too many animals - so no more animals. But then Ciara sent me this video saying this little dog is in the rescue centre, he's 14.
"The people who owned him have just died, and the dog he grew up with has just died, and she said, 'No, my mum's not going to take it'. He's 14, and it's really, really hard to find adopters for older dogs, but when I went to see him in the sanctuary, he just cried, and he was trembling because he didn't want to go back in, and I was like, oh, we'll foster him. There was no way I'd give this dog back."
Nolan, known for her fondness for animals, confessed she now cares for an impressive number of 29 pets and is still open to more, reports the Mirror.

She added: "We're up to 29 pets, but they're not all adopted and fostered. We're up to 29, and I hate odd numbers. I set a limit at six, and now we're up to 29, but I inherited a lot when I moved."
Asked about how Buster is faring, Coleen happily announced: "He's loving life now and rules the roost."
Coleen recently introduced a new addition to her family, a horse named Bojack. She posted a video on social media, saying: "Welcome home to my brand new horse, Bojack! He is a beautiful 12-year-old Irish gelding. I can't wait to show you all more videos and pics."
She has also written a new book titled A Hand To Hold, which explores the themes of death and grief, including the loss of pets.
"I wanted to cover all forms of death from parents and family and siblings to husbands and wives. And animals, you know, people really grieve over animals, and unless you're an animal lover, you don't get it," she expressed.
"But it's really as strong as any grief for some people. I'm an animal lover, so I get it. But I think the hardest chapter that I found difficult to write, and also difficult then to record for the audiobook which I've done, was the chapter on losing a child. To me, it has got to be the worst thing ever. And I found it sad listening to people talking about losing a child."
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
