Internet users were made to feel very old this week when child star Sophia Grace Brownlee, 19, announced her pregnancy and now her cousin, Rosie McClelland, has shared her excitement.
You’ll probably recognise the duo from The Ellen Show and their pink tutus, appearing on Ellen Degeneres’ chat show in 2011 after going viral with their cover of Super Bass by Nicki Minaj.
The teens have gone on to enjoy big careers in social media and music, not to mention they became regular fixtures on Ellen’s show over the years, brushing shoulders with some Hollywood greats in the process.
Announcing her pregnancy on her YouTube channel (which boasts over three million subscribers) on Saturday, Sophia Grace revealed that she is five months pregnant and assured fans everything is ‘completely fine.’
Speaking out about her cousin’s big news, Rosie said Sophia Grace will be an ‘amazing’ mum.
On the moment she found out, she told E! News: ‘I literally froze and then burst into tears and then Sophia showed me her scan picture.’

She added: ‘I’m so happy for Sophia. She has always been amazing with children and she’s gonna be an amazing mum. She also has a very supportive family around her to help and I’m gonna be there every step of the way!’
Rosie said she ‘can’t wait to buy the baby loads of cute clothes,’ however, there are two things she isn’t so keen to help with.
‘I don’t think I will be any good with the late feeds though, or the nappies.’
