In a video posted alongside the photo, a nostalgic Sue said: “Thirty years ago, I thought I was just having a baby.
“I didn’t realise, that would be 30 years of love, excrutiating-ly deep love, laughter, and constant worry.
“But it’s all been worth it because my boy is 30 today.”
She then joked: “I’ve been blessed to have a lifetime of, ‘what’s for dinner?’
“I’ve been blessed to have a lifetime of leaving every single cupboard door open, and every single light on in the house. So its been an honour.”
She ended her video giving a shout out to “all the mums out there”.
Sue asked: “How the hell did we keep these humans alive when I don’t even feel like a grown up myself?”
The 62-year-old shares Elliot with first husband James.
They split in 2003 and she later married lighting director Brian Owen.
Sue and Brian don’t have children together but live with their adorable crossbreed dog George Paws.
