Coronation Street star Kym Marsh reveals that she is going to be a Grandmother at 42

Kym Marsh has played Michelle Connor on Coronation Street for twelve years now, and has won numerous awards for her role on the hit UK drama.

The star famously had her first son David at 19, and then had her daughter Emilie at 21.

Now Kym is celebrating being a grandmother at 42, and couldn't be happier about it.

A few days ago Kym's daughter revealed the gender of her baby in a post that Kym shared to her Twitter account with the caption: "It's a boy!".

Kym has also revealed that she isn't a fan of the name Grandma, and has been looking into some possible alternatives.

"I'm looking forward to being a young grandmother," she told OK!

"I've always looked forward to having grandchildren. Although I'm not relishing being called Grandma so I've been researching alternative names!

"I know what it's like to be young and pregnant – it's scary, but Emilie will be a great mum."
