The Loose Women stars were left cooing on Friday’s episode, as Grace ‘GK’ Barry introduced the latest addition to her family on air.
During Friday’s episode of Loose Women, the panel was absolutely smitten as Grace ‘GK’ Barry unveiled the newest addition to her family.
Kaye Adams softly hinted at the onset that Grace was about to bring out a fresh face to the Loose crew. The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star introduced her sweet puppy to the show, who she adorably named Noodle.
Upon their entrance on stage, coos and murmurs of affection rippled through the audience. Nevertheless, the ITV favourite revealed a cheeky secret she hadn’t informed her parents about the doggy addition until after Noodle’s arrival into her home, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Grace admitted: “I’m not going to lie, the first week I didn’t tell my parents!”
The ITV star chuckled over her initial secrecy, saying: “I thought, I don’t know how they’re going to react to me getting a dog. They’ve always been like, ‘You’ve got such a busy job, can you even look after yourself? ‘ which is a fair point!”
But as it turns out, the research paid off, and after taking the plunge, Grace’s fluffy pal became the heart stealer of her household. She revealed: “They (her parents) absolutely love him! He comes to all my shoots with me. He’s a bit of a diva.”

Kaye picked up on earlier comments from Grace about her hesitation to inform her parents of getting Noodle, asking if she still felt intimidated by them. Grace candidly admitted that she did.
She revealed: “At this age, you can still be told off by your parents! Even though I know they’d be fine with it. I remember when I first got my tattoo, I hid it for a month because I knew they didn’t love tattoos.”
