Rosie’s daughter Rosie will be getting married next summer, and Lorraine Kelly is eager to see her daughter Billie play a special role on the big day.
Chat show queen Lorraine Kelly has plenty to look forward to, from her ongoing chat show on ITV to a new book and even a travel series. But what she’s extremely excited about as we catch up with her exclusively for Notebook, is her only child, daughter Rosie’s summer wedding to fiancé Steve White.
The enthralling TV host admits that she is counting down the days until her daughter, age 31, knots the knot, adding that the day will be “our family, his family, and friends.” The wedding, the bubbly 65-year-old tells us is scheduled for July, in Perthshire.

And there’s one girlie element of the wedding prep that she can’t wait for, she confesses. “We’re going to look at wedding dresses, me and Rosie, her maid of honour Amber and Mark Hayes [the fashion stylist fromLorraine’s show]. It will be like an episode of Say Yes To The Dress!”
Lorraine, who has been. married to her cameraman husband Steve Smith for 33 years, also laughs that there’s also the risk that Rosie’s adorable daughter Billie, born last August, will totally steal the show – as she has a special role on her parent’s big day. “I did say to Rosie, ‘You do realise with all this planning about what you’re going to wear, in reality, all eyes will be on Billie Boo as the flower girl! She’ll steal the show.’”
The Scottish TV star is totally enamoured with little Billie, now 14 months, as she reveals during our interview – and admits that becoming a granny is one of the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Explaining that her new role has allowed her to create more time for the people she loves, she says, smiling: “Don’t go out with people you don’t like – spend more time babysitting!”
She’s open to the fact that she is cruel to her granddaughter. She has a new obsession, according to Minnie Mouse. So, of course, I’ve been searching for Minnie right away online. She’s probably now too sluggish and bored”!
She continues, “Billie is so gorgeous. She is wonderful, talking rubbish, and crawling almost walking. When she sees me, her lovely little face sparkles in the sunlight. She has such a positive attitude. She occasionally refers to me as Banana, and occasionally as Nana. I’ll respond to any question, I don’t care.
“With Rosie and working so hard, it was rush rush to get her to eat, read a story, sleep – now I can take my time and savour it all. And on the rare occasions Billie stays with me and Steve, it’s the best thing in the world.”
Rosie, a journalist and podcaster, revealed her boyfriend Steve had popped the question last June, just two months after announcing she was expecting her first child.
Sharing a carousel of images to her social media, she showed off a snap of her engagement ring, while cradling her bump, with the caption: “There are too many lovely things going on and I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. Everyone always told me you’ll know when it’s about to happen but I had absolutely no idea, but I have a lifetime to get you back @stevewhite94.”
