"HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby brother @grahamk89 looking forward to celebrating," Lorraine wrote in her caption.

While Lorraine tends to keep her brother out of the spotlight, she has occasionally spoken about their sibling bond.

Back in 2014, she told The Guardian: "I was six when my younger brother Graham came along, and it was a terrible shock.

"I'd been a spoiled little princess and then this angel appeared. People used to stop my mother in the street because he was so adorable. I resented him and we fought like cat and dog."

She added: "It wasn't until I left home that we came to appreciate each other and now we're best friends."

Earlier this month, meanwhile, Graham made a cameo appearance on Lorraine in a surprise celebration marking her 40-year television career.

During the segment, the mother-of-one shared a candid glimpse inside their childhood, admitting that she was "horrid to him".

Reminiscing about their bond, Lorraine candidly shared: "I mean, I was six years old when Graham came along, and I was a spoilt princess."

She continued: "He came along and he was the most beautiful baby you'd ever seen in your life with the biggest blue eyes and chubby cheeks you wanted to bite.

"But I was horrible to you, I used to nip you didn't I?" Lorraine added, before Christine Lampard added: "We got over that though, didn't we."

Chiming in, Graham said: "The trade-off was I got to learn a lot about good music, I pretty much know every word to every David Bowie song off by heart."
