The Loose Women panellist was bursting with pride on Saturday as she announced her daughter Maddie has released her very own EP! The 17-year-old has written six original songs and recorded them for her growing fan base – and they sound beautiful.

Nadia shared another clip on her Stories of herself, husband Mark Adderley and his mum Dianne, listening to Maddie's album in the car as they drove to the beach. The teenager's haunting vocals can be heard in the background as Nadia sings along to the song. Captioning the clip, Nadia revealed that some family members were overcome with emotion over Maddie's achievement: "@maddiemaddieee nanny di is crying in the back!" she said.

She explained the decision to take them out of traditional education to HELLO! in 2017, saying: "They struggled in class and really thought they wouldn't excel in anything.
