She told CBeebies previously about becoming a young grandma: "I always knew I would be a young grandparent because of how old I was when I had my children.
"I was 42 when I found out I was going to be a grandparent. It still came as a bit of a shock but I was so excited.

Fears for Aadi in Coronation Street as Bernie shares her concerns
It's been something of a quiet time for Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) in Coronation Street recently. We've really only seen him standing behind the counter of the corner shop pricing up custard creams and dealing with the occasional shoplifter. While Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) is away in India, Aadi has been keen to step up and make a success of looking after his dad's business. He's ambitious, in his own way, and focused. And, let's face it, just a tiny bit boring. This is what Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) thinks, anyway. As Dev's partner she thinks of Aadi and his sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey) as her step-kids and she looks out for their welfare. So when she overhears a conversation between Aadi, Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and Summer (Harriet Bibby) she realises that Aadi is sounding middle-aged well before his time. Since losing her son Paul (Peter Ash), Bernie is more aware than most that life is too short to waste and she tells Aadi to take the rest of the day off and go out and enjoy himself with his friends. Aadi embraces this concept, and tells Summer and Amy that he wants to plan a party. More Trending As we know that Adam Hussain is leaving his role as Aadi in the coming weeks, it seems that this could be the start of his exit storyline.

'As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.

Bobby Brazier calls dad Jeff a ‘rock' in sweet Father's Day post after brother Freddy makes rehab U-turn
It comes as the star's EastEnders future was recently revealed BOBBY Brazier has called his dad Jeff a 'rock' in a sweet Father Day's post - after his brother Freddy's rehab U-turn. The EastEnders star, 22, and younger sibling Freddy, 20, are sons of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody. 4 Bobby Brazier shared a sweet Father's Day message on Instagram Credit: Rex 4 He called dad Jeff "a rock" alongside a family snap Credit: Instagram 4 Freddy recently made a U-turn on entering rehab Credit: Getty Taking to Instagram, Bobby shared a photo of himself, Jeff and Freddy stood on a beach, looking out towards the ocean. With the three having their arms around each other in the snap, he captioned: "My dads a rock." It comes as Freddy made a shock U-turn on plans to enter rehab – just days after admitting he's been hooked on smoking since the age of 12. The Celebrity Race Across The World alum shared a dramatic change of heart on Instagram over the weekend. Posting a black and white throwback of himself as a child, Freddy wrote: 'You know what I don't need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.' Freddy stunned followers when he opened up about a long-standing smoking addiction and a desire to make peace with his dad after a tense family rift. The 20-year-old, revealed he wanted to get help in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'. In a heartfelt post, he said: 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side.' Freddy also shared hopes of mending things with his famous father, saying: 'I want to play football and take up boxing. I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.' Elsewhere, elder son Bobby has "become a Hare Krishna" and is "seeking solace" in rituals following mum Jade's death. Freddy Brazier reunites with dad Jeff before heading to rehab in Spain amid concern over gran's 'harmful' influence The former Strictly finalist has become a regular at the Hare Krishna temple in Soho, where he takes part in communal prayers, chants mantras and helps prepare meals. Friends say Bobby's interest in spirituality has grown over the past year and is helping him process the lasting impact of losing his mum to cervical cancer in 2009, when he was just five. A volunteer at the temple told MailOnline: 'He's here every Saturday without fail. He joins our kitchen session, learns the prayers – this isn't a gimmick.' A family friend added: 'Bobby had a difficult life. His mum dying left a mark on him, as it would. "Hare Krishna is somewhere he seeks solace. It might seem strange, but for him, it works.' Last year, The Sun published images of Bobby joining in cha-cha-chanting at a Hare Krishna gathering on Oxford Street, where he was even seen handing out leaflets. Bobby said of the movement: 'I've had the blessing of meeting some incredible devotees who have really taken me under the wing and been really merciful upon me. "And they are just the most beautiful, happy, content, smart, intelligent people.' The young actor will also soon be leaving his EastEnders role as Freddie Slater. Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV. As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age. Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling. The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career. He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders. The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category. His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond. It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing. He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up. Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap. An EastEnders spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.' A telly insider revealed: 'Bosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show. 'The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet. 'The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.'
