When hello! arrives at the Buckinghamshire home of Lorraine Kelly, we are greeted with the pitter-patter of tiny paws and some friendly barks.
Ruby, a miniature wire-haired dachshund, is the pride and joy of Lorraine’s daughter Rosie Smith – and will soon become a big “sister”, as Rosie is expecting her first child with partner Steve White. So it’s only fitting she steals the show on our exclusive photoshoot, in which Rosie and Lorraine share an exciting announcement with us.
“Will Ruby be having a little brother or sister?” says the doyenne of morning TV, joining Rosie around a pet-friendly cake made especially for Ruby to enjoy – and reveal their special news.
“It’s a girl!” Lorraine and her daughter announce, the brightest of grins on their faces as the pink cake is revealed.
Rosie adds: “I was convinced it was going to be a boy because Steve’s whole family are boys, so when we found out it was a girl, I was so shocked and happy. I asked them to check the scan again.”
A REAL KICK
Lorraine, who has been married to Rosie’s dad Steve Smith since 1992, is equally thrilled to be welcoming a new addition to the family at the beginning of September.
“This is the most exciting thing to happen to our family, well, since Rosie was born,” she says. “Last night, I felt the baby kick for the first time, which was extraordinary. It made it feel real.”
Rosie, who lives in the London borough of Islington with her partner, found out she was pregnant on New Year’s Eve, “right after buying loads of alcohol and a cold-meat platter, which I then couldn’t touch”, she says with a laugh.
