Now 22, Stephanie has two children, Caiden, six, and Layla, three, who are often mistaken for Phillipa’s children rather than grandchildren.
Stephanie says she loves having a mum who is so young, and the pair even go out clubbing together.
Speaking to Femail Stephanie said: “I could end up having my mum around for longer than most people! We’ve done a few clubs together and have a lot in common.”
Though she does admit that their youthful looks has caused them to receive unwanted attention from strangers.
