The event, held in celebration of National Grandparents Day this coming Sunday, bestowed the coveted title on broadcaster and reality TV star Vanessa Feltz.
The 53-year-old, who is a mother-of-two and a grandmother to daughter Allegra’s 20-month-old son Zeke, jokingly described herself as the tot’s “servant and slave”.
Acknowledging the honour today, the former Celebrity Big Brother star said: “I’ve never felt anything like it, and the best thing is there’s no limit on it. If I have 10 grandchildren, I would love them all as ferociously.”
“The love has flooded in in this complete, boundless way. It’s hard to describe, but it’s a completely unconditional, overwhelming tidal wave of love. All I want to do is make the world a better place so that he can go off and have a good life,” she added.
As for Vanessa’s plans for celebrating her win? She’s going to take on the role of house chef and cook a family lunch!
Vanessa beat off some stiff competition from the likes of Mary Berry and Caitlyn Jenner in the poll.
