This year's festivities are set to be extra special for Rachel, 35, as it marks the first one she and Pasha, 41, will celebrate with their newborn daughter. The couple are also parents to little Maven, who turns two next week.

"I'm in that new mum daze," Rachel recently told chat show host Lorraine Kelly. "She's just gorgeous. I've got two little girls now. Noa's two weeks old, so she was born on Bonfire Night, 15 days after she was supposed to arrive, to the sound of fireworks as I was contracting at home.

"When we introduced her [Maven] to her [Noa], she checked her tummy because she was telling us that she had a baby in her tummy - so she was like, 'It's out now.' That's good to know, painless for her.

"She's absolutely gorgeous with her, she just wants to kiss her and wants to have her on her lap and play her iPad toddler games with the baby’s hand which is adorable. We're really loving it."
