Rachel also shared a previously unseen photo taken on her wedding day. The TV star and Strictly's Pasha eloped to Las Vegas and were married in secret in 2019. She announced their marriage with a photo of the couple in front of a carousel decorated with flowers, writing: "Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Kovalev… We both said yes!" Rachel opted for a non-conformist wedding dress for her big day - a short cream and pink patterned style that flattered her then baby bump, with a V-neck and a flared skirt.

Rachel shared: "Pasha is only speaking in Russian to her [Maven] 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." She added: "So Mave is getting an extra dose of Russian. Hopefully, she won't pick up my accent because that would be awful."
