Rachel Riley has delighted her followers after sharing a gorgeous new picture with baby Maven, just days after her first birthday. In the heartfelt post, Rachel detailed the importance of children having their routine jabs as she thanked healthcare officials for all their hard work.
"Mrs had her 1 year jabs this morning," she tweeted. "I was so focussed on making sure she'd had Calpol and calming a few tears. It's only just occurred to me the significance of protecting her from diseases that millions will have died from in the past. We're so lucky! Thank you scientists [heart emoji]."
