Heartwarming moment Gogglebox star introduces newborn to grandma
Gogglebox star Isabelle Silbery introduced her newborn daughter to her beloved grandmother, Emmie Silbery, for the first time over the weekend.
The TV personality gave birth to Ruby Emily Richards, her first child with husband Alex Richard, earlier this month, and decided to share the moment little Ruby met her 94-year-old great-grandma for the first time.
She also revealed the meaning behind her daughter's name, in the sweet post shared on Instagram.
“My heart explodes. Ruby was the name of Emmie’s Aunty who adopted her when she was orphaned at age of 9," she began in the caption.
"She saved Emmie from the horrible orphanages back in those days and cared for her like she was her own daughter.
“I hope our Ruby inherits generations of maternal resilience and Emmie’s cheeky sense of humour.”
In the video, Isabelle was joined by mum, Kerry, and grandma Emmie, who appeared on Gogglebox for six years with them, up until her dementia diagnosis earlier this year.
“Oh, she’s so dainty,” Emmie said, while approaching Ruby's pram.
When Isabelle told her the baby's name, Emmie replied, “Really? Oh, thank you, that’s lovely.”
Emmie then goes to get a closer look at Ruby before saying: "Isn't she beautiful".
Fans and co-stars were touched by the sweet interaction.
"Aww Izzy that’s absolutely beautiful my heart is overwhelmed with love for your family," wrote Gogglebox co-stars Lee and Keith, while co-star Adam Densten added four red heart emojis.
"All the goosebumps! What a beautiful bunch of strong women. Love you all immensely x," added former Gogglebox star Angie Kent.
"Oh my goodness. That’s filled my heart and my eyes. What a legacy of women sits behind your beautiful girl ❤️" added one fan.
"So beautiful. Ruby surely will continue the strong line of strength & love 🙌🏾 ❤️" wrote another.
