The 29-year-old shared a snap of her pregnant baby bump as she was dressed all in black.

"We could not be more excited - you’re already so loved little one," Rosie captioned the snap.

Lorraine reacts

Lorraine shared her excitement on her own instagram, writing: " The most exciting thing to have ever happened in our family.

"Cannot wait to be a granny and so proud of Rosie and her Steve.

"It's the best news ever".

The pictures showed a framed scan of the baby at 12 weeks with the captions: "The bean at 12 weeks - the size of a fig."

One user wrote: "Congratulations Rosie."

Wendy Fitzgerald added: "Oh my giddy aunt congratulations Ruby is going to be a big sister.

"I bet your mum is over the moon to be a granny".

"We could not be more excited - you’re already so loved little one."

Celebrity congrats

Lorraine's celeb pals were quick to chime in with their well-wishes too.

"I’m so over the moon for you all," wrote show regular and Strictly star Tyler West.

Vanessa Feltz added: "My darling friend I am so thrilled for you. I remember the day your beautiful Rosie was born. Such wonderful news. All my love always Vanessa."

GMB presenter Charlotte Hawkins weighed in: "Oh my goodness what amazing news! So special."

Michelle Heaton, who frequently appears on Lorraine's daytime series, said: "Wow amazing congratulations all of you."

Special bond

Lorraine has spoken many times on a number of her show's about how strong her bond is with her only daughter.

When Rosie was away working in Singapore before the Covid pandemic, Lorraine spoke of her pain at being separated from her child.

She said "There’s nothing like being able to give your child a cuddle.

"Every mother will know what I’m saying – there’s just nothing like the smell of your child’s hair. Rosie always smells so good."

Eventually, the pair reunited and Lorraine told MailOnline: "I’m trying not to be too teary, because I don’t want to embarrass her, but being able to hold her after all that time was just fantastic."

Lorraine also broke down in tears back in 2020 when she turned 60 and Rosie surprised her with a video call from Singapore on air.
