Match of the Day star Gary Lineker took to Instagram on Wednesday, where he posted a rare photo of his stepdaughter to his Stories.
It was in honour of an exciting event, as the presenter expressed his excitement about being able to see his much-loved family member now that the U.S has loosened its travel restrictions for visitors from the UK.

Gary has previously spoken about being a step-parent, opening up about his blended family life in an interview with the Daily Mail when Ella was younger.
He shared with the paper that he didn't meet Ella, who was then a little girl, until he and Danielle had been dating for three months.
"She was only five, tiny and cute," he said. "Now she's becoming a young woman."

He went on: "You make mistakes along the way. I think the key is to defer to the real parent, but it’s hard… I've a feeling that the teenage years will be interesting. But it's wonderful to be given a daughter.
"She has a father, who's a great guy, and I'm careful to respect that relationship. I think we're doing OK."
Gary didn't say how long he would be in America, but he has been making the most of the ability to travel more at the moment, including jetting off to Barcelona last month to enjoy some half-term sun.
