Veteran Home and Away star Lynne McGranger is over the moon as her family welcomes a precious new addition. The 70-year-old actress, best known for her long-running role as Irene Roberts on the hit Australian soap, has become a doting grandmother after her daughter Clancy and son-in-law welcomed their first child.
McGranger, who has played the beloved Summer Bay stalwart for over three decades, took to social media to share her joy with fans. "My heart is bursting with love," she wrote alongside a touching family photo.
A New Chapter for the McGranger Family
The acting legend revealed that her daughter Clancy, whom she shares with former partner Neil McGranger, gave birth to a healthy baby. While keeping some details private, Lynne expressed how "this little one has already brought so much light into our lives."
Fans of the Australian soap icon have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating this personal milestone for the actress who has entertained audiences since 1993. Many noted how fitting it was that the woman who played Summer Bay's maternal figure for generations is now embracing grandmotherhood in real life.
Balancing Stardom with Family Life
Despite her hectic filming schedule, McGranger has always prioritised family. Colleagues from Home and Away describe how she lights up when talking about her daughter, and now this new grandchild has given her "a whole new spark" both on and off set.
As Irene Roberts continues to guide the younger residents of Summer Bay, Lynne McGranger begins her most cherished role yet - as a hands-on grandmother ready to spoil her newest family member with love and attention.
