Describing the new family addition as "beautiful", Lorraine praised her daughter and son-in-law Steve for embracing their new roles as parents with aplomb.
Reflecting on the experience, she said: "It's just, it's brilliant! Everybody said to me you won't believe how much you'll love this little tiny thing and of course you do, but it's amazing to see your own child having a wee baby.
"It's just lovely, it's wonderful. I can't stop smiling!"
Her ITV colleagues didn't hesitate to offer their heartfelt congratulations on the family's newest member, and even a Royal chimed in with well-wishes.
In a memorable segment of her show, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, joined in to welcome Lorraine to the esteemed "Granny club".
The Duchess of York delighted an overjoyed Lorraine with a congratulatory video, exclaiming: "Yaay, this is incredible! You are part of the Granny club, well done Lorraine. I'm so proud of you and I'm longing to see you soon and give you a big hug.
She also promised a gift: "Of course, sending you one little children's book for your lovely lovely new grandchild. Well done indeed.
"I'm so thrilled for you. I wonder if you'll be called GG or Granny? Or Hmm, lovely Lorraine? No, I think Granny. Welcome to the Granny club, lots of love see you soon!"
Meanwhile, the Scottish presenter responded with humour to The Duchess's pleasant outreach: "She is a hoot and she lives in her own wee world and it's quite a good world I think."
On her popular TV programme, Lorraine declared her choice of familial title, opting simply for 'Granny'.
Lorraine continues weekdays on ITV from 9am.
