Lorraine Kelly on Grandmotherhood: 'A Second Chance at Motherhood'

Lorraine Kelly has opened up about becoming a grandmother, describing it as a 'second chance at motherhood'. The 66-year-old presenter's daughter Rosie welcomed her first child with fiancé Steve White in August 2024.

Speaking to The Daily Mail as part of EE broadband's Christmas Campaign, Lorraine said: 'It's great. To be honest with you, I'm getting a chance to be a mum again in a way. I'm not being a mum again because [Rosie's] her mum and she's got her mum, but I'm getting a chance to do it again and hopefully to do it better.'

She reflected on the difficulties of juggling her career and motherhood when Rosie was young, explaining that in the early 1990s it was still unusual for pregnant women to appear on live television daily. She credited Anne Diamond as a trailblazer who made it easier for others.

Praising her daughter, Lorraine said: 'I think you're amazing. She's incredible, absolutely incredible. I don't know how you do everything that you do, but it's lovely when it's your grandchild because you read those books that you read yourself.'
