Rachel and husband Pasha Kovalev welcomed their second child last week, and earlier this week she shared some stunning, never-before-seen pictures of the couple.

Ahead of appearing on BBC Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, she uploaded a series of snaps, showing some behind-the-scenes action with her husband Pasha Kovalev.
