Lorraine Kelly ‘excited’ as daughter Rosie announces sex of baby: ‘Most exciting thing to happen to our family’

Can't wait to be 'Granny Smith'!

| Updated:

Lorraine Kelly has shared her excitement about being set to become a grandmother following her daughter Rosie‘s pregnancy news.

Rosie, 29, revealed she is expecting a child with partner Steve back in April.

She’s reflected on how the couple wanted to be parents relatively young so their own parents could spend as much time with a grandchild as possible.

After revealing the unborn baby’s sex in Hello! magazine earlier this week, telly star Lorraine, 64, has spoken about her glee at becoming a granny.

Lorraine also said she’d had an inkling Rosie may be expecting before the ITV star found out for sure.

She said she thought Rosie was “looking a wee bit peaky” but she had “no idea it was that”. Lorraine also said she cried when she found out the news.

As part of their chat with Hello!, Lorraine and Rosie shared it is a little girl on the way. The reveal came about as Rosie sliced a special cake with a pink filling, denoting a female baby.

Sharing the moment on Instagram too, Lorraine gushed: “Exciting news to share from @rosiekellysmith.”

However, Lorraine – who said she’d wanted to be a grandparent one day but didn’t want to put Rosie under pressure – has another sweet thought in mind.

She went on: “My married name is Smith so I’ll be known as Granny Smith, like the apple! I’m very happy with being called Granny. I know some people don’t like that, but I think it’s a badge of honour.”

Rosie also shared some details on name choices. She said: “I really wanted to have a Scottish connection and we had a Scottish boy name sorted, but girls are hard. I’d like to have options.”
