Sharing a gorgeous photo of the pair sat at a table in a kitchen, the family resemblance is clear to see. Captioning the image, Rebecca wrote: "Happy 60th birthday to my gorgeous mother!!!! She’s my rock, my role model, my inspiration. She’s a real life superwoman. I love you mum xxx."

Earlier this week, the 31-year-old spoke to HELLO! about spending quality time with her daughter Summer, five, and revealed co-parenting with her ex-husband, Harry Needs, has been working wonderfully.
Discussing how they have managed to make things work, Rebecca said: "She goes to Harry's for three days, she comes to mine for three days. We have co-parented really well and found our routine. She gets the best of both worlds!"
Harry and Rebecca welcomed their daughter in June 2015, nine months after tying the knot, before parting ways in 2016. The mum-of-one now lives with her partner Andrew Parsons.
