Posting an adorable video of the hairstylist playing with her grandson's tiny feet, she penned in the caption: "Don't mind me, I'm just round here enjoying Granternity leave from work with the youngest member of the Gang. 

"Blessed & grateful beyond measure to have our 2nd grandchild. He's beautiful, he's healthy and I'm gonna try my very best as his Granny to remember he's not actually mine. (But that didn't work with Koko so let’s just say he’s MINE)."

She continued: "Welcome to this crazy world Amir Santana. You'll grow up to be well respected & well protected in these streets."

Signing off the post, Mica wrote: "MamaLuv."

The star's comments section was soon flooded with messages of congratulations, with one person writing: "Congrats guys. Those tiny feet," while another added: "Congratulations to all of you. So very precious."

Gogglebox star Ellie Warner, who recently welcomed her first baby, also commented on the post, writing: "Perfect little toes. Congratulations."

Mica's exciting family news comes almost a year after she and her husband Marcus Luther left the Channel 4 show in December 2022.

The couple made the announcement on Instagram in a statement that read: "We just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to @c4Gogglebox for having us for the last five years, even though we had to travel so far for filming (downstairs & through the corridor) it was so worth it, it's been an epic journey! You guys are the bestest of the best. 

"We've had so much fun with you all tuning in at home and the hardworking Gogglebox crews but it's time to put down the remote and see what else God has in store for us.

"To everyone that has tuned in and sent us messages of love and encouragement over the years, we appreciate every last one of you. Thank you so much. 

"To the amazing cast, you'll forever be our G'box brothers & sisters 4life."
