Arlene wrote: ‘My world was turned upside down this week when my beautiful granddaughter #emmebow was rushed into hospital and my daughter @alanastewartmama had no idea why she was rapidly loosing weight and like a little rag doll.’

‘Fortunately the hospital identified what was wrong which was the result of a virus and now she’s home and really on the mend which has lifted my spirits enormously and I’m totally ready to get into my rehearsals on @houseofflamenka full of smiles.’

Alana’s father is Danny Noble, who Arlene married when she was 18, and he was 27. The pair separated shortly after Alana’s birth in 1979. 

The choreographer and dancer reminisced about her pregnancy with her eldest daughter in an Instagram post on Monday, sharing a childhood photo of Alana in a ballet tutu as she marked her 43rd birthday. 

‘In 1979 I discovered I was pregnant and set to choreograph a big Hollywood film but to my joy I had a two week hiatus on the film when my baby was due to be born and like the trooper I was flew from New York back to Los Angeles for the birth where after I was about to head into twelve weeks of filming,’ Arlene wrote. 

‘Since then this baby has brought so much happiness to my life and today I wish her the most beautiful of birthdays and say thank you.’
