I forgot to explain my earlier one---
for those who did not get it--the Michael was Michael Barrymore--and of course Ethel Barrymore was a very famous actres-s-so they are kind of opposites---plus "Mother"---opposite "Baby"--the answer to
"Could she be Michael's mother" is "Ethel Baby". It was quite tricky thinking that one up as the only other Ethel I know is President of a WI near Canterbury--I did not think that would help much
Here is my new clue--
"Not Delilah Dingle---but could be Rosemary King"
To anyone who does not know-these are 2 characters from Emmerdale--but you do not need to know ANYTHING about Emmerdale to solve the clue.
