She gushed: “We are all doing great, and her big brother Harry is just besotted with her; our hearts are all so full of love. Here’s to our magical next chapter together as a family”.
Lorna’s son Harry is three, and she shares both of her children with her wife, Dawn McIntyre.
The cooking star joined the Great British Menu as a judge in 2019 after winning as a contestant, impressing with her culinary skills.
Her signature style stays true to her Scottish roots and Lorna is best known for dishes like grouse, West Coast langoustines and Highland venison.
The TV star’s incredible culinary career prior to winning the BBC show included stints in London under Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s, followed by work under Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles.
It was at Gleneagles that Lorna first met her wife, as she also worked at the posh Scots hotel.
The pair married in Glasgow in 2021 after more than a decade together.
