Gillian McKeith is set to be a grandmother again as her daughter Skylar is pregnant

TV presenter Gillian McKeith is set to become a grandmother again as her eldest daughter Skylar revealed she is expecting her second child.

Skylar, who is a solicitor, 27, was pictured along with her younger sister Afton at a fashion show, cradling her blossoming baby bump. Wearing a short pink dress and matching jacket, Skylar looked the picture of health as she smiled for the cameras. A source close to the McKeith family confirmed to the Mirror that Skylar is expecting her second child later this year,

Meanwhile, Afton wore pink shorts and a shirt. The solicitor prefers to steer clear of the spotlight unlike her mother who made a name for herself on You Are What You Eat and also I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Afton and Skylar attended The St John's Wood High Street Festival in London over the weekend.

Gillian's youngest daughter, Afton, took to the catwalk at the fashion show and at one point she wowed onlookers as she dropped into the splits. Afton also works as a pageant walking and movement coach, helping those who want to enter the world of becoming a pageant star. She has a following of 100,000 fans on TikTok and more than 41,000 on Instagram. The rising star had previously lived in Los Angeles before returning back to the UK.

Away from her mother's fame, the pageant model hit the headlines after she opened up about her brief fling with Brooklyn Beckham, as she claimed they dated as teenagers. The pair attended the same private school. Speaking about Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola Peltz, she claimed the eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham has blocked her on Instagram. But she told The Sun: " I actually bumped into him not so long ago in Los Angeles at my local supermarket - Erewhon - and her as well. You know, they seem good. I wish them the best. I hope they have a really long and happy marriage."

Gillian came from humble beginnings as she was raised on a council estate in Perth Scotland but proudly went on to achieve a degree in linguistics from the University of Edinburgh in 1981, before moving to America. She then received an MA in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984. The star became even more of a household name when she first appeared on I'm A Celeb in 2010 following her "fainting" episode.

However, the nutritionist suffers from scoliosis, which is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. And she has previously said that there is not a "moment in her life when she is not in pain," because of her diagnosis. Gillian is married to Howard Magaziner who works as an American lawyer. The couple met in Edinburgh where he had spent a year studying. Howard ran a chain of health food shops in America and Gillian became involved in the running of the business.
