Dawn Ward fired back at social media trolls after announcing she was set to become a grandmother at the age of 47.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star told one troll to "bore off and take their negativity elsewhere" after they posted a now-deleted tweet appearing to mock the news, reports The Daily Mail.
Ward announced on Friday she would be welcoming her first grandchild after her daughter Darby announced she was expecting a baby with her fiancé Michael Corrado Jackson.
Dawn re-posted the tweet, shared by a troll only known as Holly, along with the message: "Bore off Holly and take your negativity else where Darling."
Many fans of the former ITVBe reality star came in her defense following the now-deleted tweet from the troll.
One fan wrote, "Keyboard warrior haters will always be a waste of time and space... hope you all okay."
Another fan wrote, "What is wrong with people, if you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything. Congratulations to you and your family Dawn."
A third added, "@dawnward4 congratulations, some positive news for a change, so happy for you all,' with one also tweeting: 'Congratulations to you all the Ward family xx what lovely news xx."
Dawn shared the news that she was going to be a grandmother after her daughter Darby announced she was pregnant.
"I can not tell you how excited I am me and @ashersnine are going to be grandparents," she wrote. "My beautiful Daughter @darbyward and our son-in-law to be @michaelcorradojackson are expecting a baby."
She added, "They will make the best parents ever I’m feeling so blessed it’s the most amazing news for our whole family Nanna Dawn Grandad Ashley 😂😂🙈🙈❤️❤️."
Darby and her fiancé Michael Corrado Jackson announced their pregnancy announcement via Instagram. "Our little Family is officially growing!!!!

Darby announced her engagement to boyfriend Michael in August 2019, after he proposed during a romantic getaway to the French Riviera. The couple was set to get married in 2020, but it was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic.
