The Apprentice star Karren Brady had plenty to celebrate on Monday after her daughter Sophia Peschisolido revealed she’s set to welcome a second child with her fiancé, Frankie Makin.
Sophia and Frankie are already doting parents to a boy whom they welcomed last year, meaning that Karren is gearing up to become a grandma for the second time.

For the special announcement, Sophia showed off her bare baby bump in a stunning white boho skirt which she teamed with a Bardot top.
She had her flowing chestnut locks down loose and highlighted her features with a bronzed beauty look. Frankie looked smart in a relaxed oatmeal-hued trouser suit, while their little boy melted hearts in cream shorts and a matching shirt.
A second clip showed their little boy planting a kiss on Sophia’s blossoming bump as doting dad Frankie looked on proudly. Elsewhere, they included a heartwarming snippet that showed Frankie cradling his partner’s bump as they posed on the pristine beach.
A caption read: “Coming soon… baby #2”.

Sophia’s post also caught the attention of her legion of followers who were quick to send messages of congratulations in the comments section. “OMG! Congratulations,” wrote one, while a second chimed in: “Congratulations angel!!! This is so beautiful,” and a third added: “Massive congratulations to you both! They are blessings.”
Karren has previously spoken about becoming a grandmother, describing it as the most “incredible feeling.” During an appearance on Loose Women in 2023 ahead of the arrival of her first grandchild, the 56-year-old said: “I’ll tell you what’s incredible: when your baby is having a baby. It’s just an incredible feeling.
“Sophia is so kind spirited, she’ll be a wonderful mother. She’s so happy and so excited.”
During an appearance on The Apprentice: You’re Fired!, meanwhile, Karren spoke about her first grandchild, saying: “He is the most beautiful little boy in the world and my daughter is a natural mother. Mother and baby are doing so well.”
She continued: “I am so proud of her and her family and her husband and everybody’s really well, so it’s great.”
