Fans were quick to point out the similarities between Maven and her dad, with one writing: "Isn’t she gorgeous. Double of her daddy." Another added: "Wow so like her daddy."
The Countdown star's full caption read: "We’re getting ready for tomorrow! I’ll be launching the @national_numeracy #NationalNumeracyDay Virtual Festival at 8am, tomorrow, Wednesday 13th May. A day dedicated to boosting the nation’s confidence and positivity towards numbers and everyday maths.
Focusing on: Help with helping your kids with their maths, getting to grips with your finances, building your confidence and skills. Visit numeracyday.com for the full festival line up. And incidentally, happy #WomenInMaths day today!"
The sweet post comes shortly after the TV star revealed that she and her husband were self-isolating with the professional dancer's mother Galina after she was left stranded in the UK due to the lockdown restrictions.
During a Q&A session with Dr Dawn ahead of World Numeracy Day, Rachel revealed how her baby daughter was picking up more Russian when asked whether she would be bilingual, saying: "We hope so. Pasha is only speaking in Russian to her and I'm speaking poor Russian and English, obviously. Pasha's mum was visiting when lockdown happened - from Siberia. So she's still with us because she's been stranded here for an extended period of time."
Rachel added: "So Mave is getting an extra dose of Russian. Hopefully, she won't pick up my accent because that would be awful."
