Rachel Allen's racing driver son Lucca has turned 21.
The celebrity chef and TV personality paid tribute to him in an online post as she marked the milestone birthday, reports RSVPLIVE.
Lucca is currently based in England as he continues to forge his career as a race car driver.
He also works in the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, Jeremy Clarkson's famous store, and he is due to return back to Ireland to celebrate his birthday in style at home.
Rachel simply said: "Happy, happy 21st @luccaallen1 .. looking forward to celebrating with you."
His brother Josh also paid tribute to him on Instagram as he shared his excitement at welcoming his younger brother back to Cork.
He said: "Happy birthday bro, see you tomorrow to celebrate."
Recently, Lucca flew home to Cork and joined Rachel in a photoshoot and, for her, there is a lovely sense of excitement when he comes home to visit.
She previously RSVP Magazine: "It’s always so nice. Thankfully, he gets to come back a bit because he’s only living in England now."
Does she worry less about him and his career in motorsports now he’s older?
"The worry never goes away. I’m constantly praying to Dad to take care of him. I’m a bit ridiculous.
"I tend to look to the sky when I’m talking to him and I look out for little signs."
Lucca is also dating a girl he met in Ballymaloe. Rachel revealed: "Isn’t that hilarious? Poor Jemima, I would hate to pressure her with that [laughs].
"She was doing the cookery course here and she’s English so they live in England now.
"She’s a little dote. She gets to come here a lot because she gets on really well with Josh and Scarlett as well. The six of us all went away together last month."
