"I'm in that new mum daze," she told Lorraine Kelly on Friday. "She's just gorgeous. I've got two little girls now. Noa's two weeks old, so she was born on bonfire night, 15 days after she was supposed to arrive, to the sound of fireworks as I was contracting at home."

Rachel, 35, and Pasha, 41, are already doting parents to little Maven, who turns two in December.
Host Lorraine then asked: "So Pasha's in a house of women?" To which, Rachel replied: "We've got Noa, we've got our little girl Maven – she's two years old next month and his mum's over from Siberia at the moment, so she's helping us out so much."

Rachel went on to describe what it was like when Maven met her new baby sister. "When we introduced her [Maven] to her [Noa], she checked her tummy because she was telling us that she had a baby in her tummy - so she was like, 'It's out now.' That's good to know, painless for her.

"She's absolutely gorgeous with her, she just wants to kiss her and wants to have her on her lap and play her iPad toddler games with the baby’s hand which is adorable. We're really loving it."
Asked about going on Strictly and getting the biggest prize in the world, Rachel responded: "I didn't get anywhere near a glitterball but I got a husband and two little baby daughters."
