Real Housewives Of Cheshire’s Dawn Ward to be a grandmother at 47 as daughter Darby, 24, announces first pregnancy

REAL Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn Ward is to become a grandmother at 47 after daughter Darby, 24, announced her first pregnancy.

Darby shared the happy news that she is expecting her first child with her fiance Michael Jackson with fans on Friday.

Taking to Instagram, Darby shared a sweet snap of her sitting on Michael’s knee with their two little dogs while he held up a series of ultrasound pictures.

She wrote alongside the picture: “Our little Family is officially growing!!!! Baby Jackson we can’t wait to meet you. 

“I’m so emotionally excited to be able to finally share our special news with you all!

“@michaelcorradojackson you have made my life complete in every single way and I couldn’t wish for a better Partner to build my life with and start our own family together.”

Dawn was equally thrilled by the news and quickly posted her own excitement on social media.

She wrote on Instagram: “I can not tell you how excited I am me and @ashersnine are going to be grandparents.

“My beautiful Daughter @darbyward and our son-in-law-to- be @michaelcorradojackson are expecting a baby.

‘They will make the best parents ever I’m feeling so blessed it’s the most amazing news for our whole family Nanna Dawn Grandad Ashley.”

Dawn had hinted Darby could be starting a family soon back in October, after the couple had to postpone their wedding into this year.

She told MailOnline: “Darby was planning on getting married this September, but we made a family decision, thankfully, and she’s going to be getting married next June in France.

“It’s given us a lot of time to plan, we’ve made it a little bit smaller, although it’s still not very small knowing our family! I’m very hands on with the planning.

“I’ve always thought that Darby would have children relatively young. I’m not saying she is in any rush, but following the wedding, I don’t think it will be too long after.”
