Gogglebox star Mica Ven, 44, becomes gran for second time

Former Gogglebox star Mica Ven has revealed she’s welcomed another grandchild.

The TV personality appeared on the reality series alongside partner Marcus Luther from 2018 until 2022, and recently appeared on Celebrity MasterChef.

Now Mica, 44, has revealed she’s also being kept busy with a new arrival in the family after her daughter Shuggy gave birth.

Announcing the news, she posted a sweet video on Instagram of the newborn’s feet.

‘Don’t mind me, I’m just round here enjoying Granternity leave from work with the youngest member of the gang,’ she began.

‘Blessed and grateful beyond measure to have our second grandchild,’ she added while tagging her daughter.

‘He’s beautiful, he’s healthy and I’m gonna try my very best as his Granny to remember he’s not actually mine (but that didn’t work with Koko so let’s just say he’s MINE).’

This is Mica’s second grandchild after she welcomed grandson Koko last year.

She continued: ‘Welcome to this crazy world Amir Santana. You’ll grow up to be well respected and well protected in these streets.’

Soon after Mica was flooded with many messages of support from loved ones and fans, who shared their congratulatory comments.

Comedian and Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatunde Aleshe shared a series of love hearts, while a fan wrote ‘welcome to the world’.

Many others shared their love for her comments about being on ‘Granternity leave’ and joking about claiming her grandchildren as her own.

‘Had to lol at this – my grandson is mine too, drives my daughter nuts! Congratulations,’ one person posted.

Another wrote: ‘Grandkids are the most precious thing ever. Enjoy your bubble.’

Mica has two daughters from a previous relationship, called Sachelle and Shuggy, while Marcus, 37, has a son named Shiloh Defreitas.

The pair also share one son, Yash, together.

After the family stepped down from their role on the show last year, Mica told Metro.co.uk this month that she ‘missed everything’ about the series.

‘I love them. I love them so much. The production team, the actual show, being a part of it – it was definitely the best,’ she said.

‘We still feel like they’re huge boots to fill. It was a wonderful platform to come into the industry on Gogglebox and you don’t have to learn any lines. I don’t have time to learn the lines. And I was working from home, I didn’t have to travel far. I was working next to my man and I like him!’

While she said she would jump at the chance to return one day, she admitted it probably ‘didn’t work like that’.

Gogglebox is streaming on Channel 4.
