But the actress has decided she doesn't want to be known as "grandma" or "nanny", so she has chosen the name Lolly instead.
Speaking on the show, she said: "I'm really excited about being a grandparent but there's no way I'm being a grandma, or granny, nanny or any of those things.
"We looked on a website and found alternative names and I'm going to be Lolly."
This Morning co-host Eamonn Holmes then said: "Lolly - you certainly will be the most glamorous granny out there. A luscious Lolly."

Kym replied: "Luscious Lolly? I'm going with that one."
She went on to joke that she "forced" her daughter to undergo a pregnancy test after Emilie let slip that she was late and had a stomach ache while she was "casually" doing her mum's nails one day.
The star - who gave birth to Emilie's brother David Cunliffe, 23, when she was 19 - said: "She just dropped it into conversation while she was casually doing my nails one day.
"She said, 'I have a bit of a tummy ache but I'm late,' and I was like, 'How late?' And she was like, 'Well, so many weeks.'

"And I was like, 'Emilie, do you not think we should do a test?' But she was scared. So I kind of forced her."
Emilie, who previously auditioned for The Voice, admitted was shocked to discover she was expecting, but she cannot wait for her new arrival.
She added: "It was such a shock at first. The initial thought of being pregnant is so scary.
"But once I got past the scary part we were well up for it."
