Kym Marsh is so excited about becoming a grandmother.
And she has hosted a gender reveal party for her daughter Emilie, who is expecting her first child.
The Coronation Street, who is gearing up to be a gran at the age of 42, took to social media to announce that Emilie is having a boy.
A cannon, filled with blue confetti, was left off to unveil the baby's gender.

Kym told OK! magazine that her 21-year-old daughters pregnancy has been an emotional experience for both of them.
She said, ''I went with Emilie to her first antenatal appointment and we heard the baby’s heartbeat for the first time.''
She continued, ''It was a really magical experience and bought a tear to both of our eyes. I’m so glad that she’s wanted me with her at all her appointments, it means so much to me to be with her every step of the way.''
Kym was delighted to find out that she was going to have a grandchild.
She said, ''We’re over the moon. It makes me feel so emotional that my baby is having a baby of her own.''
She continued, ''I've always looked forward to having grandchildren. Although I’m not relishing being called Grandma, so I’ve been researching alternative names.”
Kym, who is also mum to seven-year-old Polly, gave birth to her first child, 23-year-old David, when she was 18, so she knows what it's like to be pregnant young.
She said, ''I know what it’s like to be young and pregnant – it’s scary, but Emilie will be a great mum. “I’ve warned her that it’s going to be hard work but I’ve also said there are a lot of positives to being a young mum.”
Congratulations and best of luck Emilie.
