As per an interview given to thesun.co.uk in 2019, Kelly and her daughter Rosie's bond is too fascinating. Describing their relationship, Lorraine stated:
"It’s a totally different dynamic between me and Rosie, and me and my mum Anne, who’s 79. My mum was only just 18 when she had me, so she’s a young granny – which is really good because she’s full of beans!"
Talking about Lorraine's miscarriage in 2001, her daughter Rosie replied:
" I had heard about it, but I actually read it fully in my mum’s book. It came out when I was a teenager, and that was actually easier than talking about it. I remember the day it happened – I was about five and I saw mum sitting on the stairs.
The blood went out of her face. Then I was in the car behind the ambulance with Dad, but I had no idea what had happened until years later."
It seems that the mother-daughter duo is pretty impressive and harmonious.
