Kym Marsh's daughter Emilie Cunliffe will live at home with her mother for the "first year" after her baby is born.
Kym Marsh and Emilie Cunliffe
The 21-year-old is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend of six months, but rather than move out of her family home and move in with her man Emilie will stay put with her mum, Kym, 42, so she has some help on hand.
Speaking in the new issue of OK! magazine about living with Kym, Emilie said: "Definitely at least for the first year. I love living with my mum, I get my dinners cooked and my washing done - what's not to like!"
Kym added: "I'm going to be as hands-on as I can possibly be, but I have said to Emilie that this is her baby so it's her responsibility. I'll help out but at the end of the day, I'll be passing the baby back to her.
"Emilie isn't silly, she knows there will be tough moments, but I've told her that the moment your child says, 'I love you, Mummy,' it'll all be worth it."
Emilie, who previously auditioned for pop star search show 'The Voice', now works as a beautician, and confessed that the birth of her new arrival won't stop her working as Kym has taught her the "importance" of having her own career.
Opening up about how much time she'll have off work, Emilie added: "I'll have to play it by ear, I currently work over 40 hours a week, which I probably won't be able to do once I have a child.
"I definitely want to go back to work, though - my mum has taught me the importance of working hard to bring in money for your family. I've seen how hard she worked and what a great career she's built for herself and I want the same for myself."
Kym and Emilie's full interview appears in this week's OK! magazine which is out now.
