Kids TV legend and Dancing on Ice star becomes a gran for the first time as she shares adorable snap with newborn
SPRINGWATCH star Michaela Strachan has revealed she’s become a gran after her step-son welcomed his first child.
The Dancing On Ice star, 59, was left over the moon as she announced the birth of her first grandchild.
Michaela’s step-son Thomas Chevallier welcomed a baby boy with partner Mikayla Humphries on Tuesday.
The TV presenter told her followers that Mikaya had given birth after a “long and stressful” labour.
She shared a sweet photo of the newborn and revealed the little boy’s name.
Michaela wrote: “Today I became a Granny!! After an extremely stressful and exhausting labour, 55hrs, baby Huxley finally arrived!!
“So proud of my future daughter in law & my step son. Proud new parents. Me and granny, Jack were a wee bit emotional.
“Welcome to the world baby Huxley. So, so precious.”
Michaela was seen beaming as she sweetly cradled the newborn, followed by a picture of Tom holding his son close to his chest.
The star’s happy new comes just a few months after Michaela wowed fans on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
But sadly Michaela missed out on being crowned the champion despite being favourite to win.
Throughout the series, it had increasingly looked like Michaela would finally break the show’s cycle and be crowned the first female winner in 12 years.
However, Coronation Street star Sam Aston eventually picked up the trophy in a huge blow to the TV presenter.
It has led fans to insist that the show should be axed for good over its lack of diversity in its winners.
Just a few weeks later, The Sun revealed that Dancing On Ice had been axed 19 years.
Michaela has hosted Springwatch on the BBC for over a decade, as she first made her debut in 2011.
The TV star is one of the regular faces to front the other seasonal editions, Autumn and Winterwatch for BBC Two.
