The BBC documentary maker looked her usual stylish self in a comfortable ensemble featuring a pair of baggy jeans, a brown hoodie, sporty trainers and a bright tangerine-orange leather bag. She styled her stunning red locks into a playful bun and opted to go au naturel for the adorable photo.

Baby Minnie, meanwhile, was dressed in a cosy oatmeal ensemble and a charcoal-grey baby grow. Matching with her famous mother, the tiny tot could be seen wearing the most precious knitted orange booties. Swoon!
