Isabelle Silbery has revealed that her baby’s name is a meaningful nod to her grandmother and former Gogglebox co-star Emmie Silbery.

Isabelle took to Instagram to reveal the inspiration behind her daughter’s name, Ruby.

“My heart explodes 🥰,” she wrote. “Ruby was the name of Emmie’s Aunty who adopted her when she was orphaned at age of 9. She saved Emmie from the horrible orphanages back in those days and cared for her like she was her own daughter.

“I hope our Ruby inherits generations of maternal resilience and Emmie’s cheeky sense of humour 😛.”

Isabelle appeared on Gogglebox with her mum Kerry Silbery and her grandma Emmie, however, Emmie stepped back from the show earlier this year following her dementia diagnosis.
