The 42-year-old Coronation Street actress has stated shes over the moon at becoming a grandmother – even though she might be opting for a different title when the time comes.

Weve both had time to get our hands around it and now were both over the moon. It makes me feel so emotional that my baby is having a baby of her own.

Emilie, 21, is set to have her first child with her boyfriend of six months, with Kym stating how becoming a young mum seems to be a pattern in the family considering she herself fell pregnant aged 18.
