Rachel Riley is a doting mother-of-two, and on Monday, the Countdown star delighted fans with a wholesome family video.

Taking to Instagram, the former Strictly star, 37, posted a montage of video clips and snapshots documenting her family's recent trip to Hamleys' iconic London toy store. Rachel made sure to include a slew of heartwarming photos featuring her adorable daughters, Maven, two, and baby Noa, one.

The tiny tots looked so sweet as they sidled up to a number of colourful characters, including a giant waistcoat-clad teddy bear and a Lego King Charles III creation. The sibling duo appeared in high spirits as they soaked up an animated performance, before pausing for a well-deserved ice-cream break.

For the special family outing, sisters Maven and Noa melted hearts in matching summer dresses adorned with pastel pink polka dots. Maven rocked a pair of hot pink trainers, whilst little Noa toddled about the place in a pair of candy pink sandals.

During a chat with HELLO!, Rachel admitted they haven't ruled out renewing their vows with more friends and family members in the future. "We only had two friends at our wedding. We were in Vegas and we just got married, so maybe one day we'll actually let people come, but I don't know. Never say never," she said.
