Kate Robbins has reacted to the news that her daughter Emily Atack is having a baby.
Emily, 34, announced over the weekend that she is expecting a baby with her partner Dr Alistair Garner. She shared the news in a post on Instagram, which prompted supportive messages from many of her fans on the platform.
Emily's mother Kate, 65, who is also an actor was among those who have liked the post since it was uploaded. The impressionist took to her Instagram to share that she was "thrilled" by the news that she would be becoming a grandmother.
Taking to her Instagram Stories Kate wrote alongside a photo of Emily: "My baby having a baby. Could not be more thrilled if I tried."
Emily first announced her pregnancy on Saturday and shared a photo of herself sporting a bump. She wrote in the caption that accompanied the selfie: "Hello everyone, it's been a little while but I'm back with some news. I'm delighted to share with you all that we're having a baby!"
She continued in the post: "I've never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Please go easy on me. Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting - a bit like when you've just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover."
Emily then commented: "I've got to know my body on such an insane level. It's made me appreciate the one I've been given SO much, I'm doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I'm growing. We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons."
She concluded the post on the weekend by telling her followers: "I'm so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You've always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let's go."
Her post now has more than 375,000 likes on the platform. It was met with supportive messages in the comments section, including from some fellow celebrities. Among those who congratulated Emily were Rylan Clark, Alison Hammond, Ruth Langsford and Nadia Sawalha.
