"Noa is two months old already and she’s getting on really well, we’re enjoying the new Priam (Simply Flowers) pram set, getting loads of compliments, Mave loves riding on the kid board and most importantly Noa gets loads of zzzzs in it!"

Touching upon her eldest being a "lockdown" baby, Rachel added: "We especially love Mave’s new car seat (the Pallas) which she’ll be in till she’s 12. As a lockdown baby she hardly went in the car, would Houdini out of the straps when she did and be quite restless on a drive, but in this one now she’s bigger it’s a dream - esp with no arm straps to fight with!"

The heartwarming post comes shortly after Rachel reflected on losing her baby after she suffered a miscarriage last year. "This time last year I was shedding a tear for the baby that wasn't meant to be…" she remarked alongside a snap of her two daughters.

"This year I was dancing around the living room to bonkers Russian New Year's music with Pasha, his mum and two little girls in tow."
