Kym Marsh has shared the happy news that she is to become a grandma for the second time.
The 45 year old former Coronation Street actress took to Instagram on Tuesday evening to tell her fans that her son David, 26, and his girlfriend Courtney are expecting their first child together.
Kym told the news by uploading a picture of a baby grow with the words 'Baby Cunliffe' on the front. Also in the snap was ultrasound pictures and a calendar which had the page flipped to August.
Kym penned: "I have been bursting to share this news for AGES!!!! I’m so very proud to announce I am gonna be a YaYa again!!!
"My wonderful son @cunliffe890 and his equally wonderful fiancée @courtneyleac are expecting their first child in August! I am so very proud of you both and I cannot wait to meet my newest grandchild!! I love you all so much."
Kym became a grandmother for the first time two years ago when her daughter Emilie Cunliffe welcomed a baby boy.
"I absolutely love it. People who’ve got grandchildren said, ‘Wait till you’ve got your own grandchild, it’s such a great feeling,'" she said.
"You never think you’re going to be able to love anybody the way you love your kids, but oh my goodness it’s a whole different feeling and it’s just the best thing ever. I’m really enjoying it and having the time of my life."
Back in 2019, Kym shared her excitement at Emilie's happy news that the baby had arrived safe and well.
She said at the time: "Emilie is doing great. She has been an absolute warrior. It feels like the royal baby, and we beat her as well."
"Welcome to the world my precious baby boy," daughter Emilie wrote at the time, "You have filled a space in my heart that I never even knew was there, and you’ve managed to take over the whole of it."
As Kym penned in a sweet message: "Last night was a night I will never forget. I became a ‘Loli’ for the first time!!! My beautiful daughter was an absolute warrior and her partner and I were the best birthing team we could be!!!
"I was so honoured to have been a part of bringing him into the world. “My beautiful grandson, I love you I will always love you and I promise to help guide you through life as best I can."
