Jenny also posted a picture of the newest arrival and said: “We may be coming back from the most glorious holiday but OMG are we beyond excited to meet our new little granddaughter Ella. James & Shauna, you are amazing.
“Huge congratulations. We are dyyyyyying for the cuddles. And to her big sister Sophia, who will be the best big sister in the world.”
Taking to the comment section, Rosanna Davison wrote: “She’s beautiful Jenny! Congratulations.” Fellow Virgin Media presenter Glenda Gilson also commented: “Congratulations Martin.”
Martin and Jenny have held the special title of being grandparents for over a decade. Martin previously told RSVP Magazine how being a grandparent differs from being a parent.
He said: “My dad always said the difference between your children and grandchildren is if your children burned down the garden shed, they would be in massive trouble but if your grandchildren did it you would probably admire their initiative as they were cold and needed to warm themselves up!”
