Steph McGovern sparked a sweet fan reaction at the weekend when she shared a rare glimpse of her daughter enjoying a sun-soaked beach trip.
Whilst the TV star, 41, didn't post any photos of her little girl's face, Steph did upload two images featuring her daughter's shadow.
In the photos, the mother-daughter duo could be seen standing on a patch of pristine sand with the rolling blue sea stretching out before them – and if the snaps are anything to go by, Steph's two-year-old tot has grown so much!
Alongside the images, Steph gushed: "Making memories with my little girl on the beach near where we live."

"Gorgeous [red heart emoji] I took my little girl to Seaton Carew for the first time this weekend, can't beat a NE beach," noted one, while another wrote: "They grow up so quickly. Cherish all the moments with her."
Other followers, meanwhile, couldn't help but notice Steph's daughter's long shadow in the sand. "She's growing… that's a long shadow," commented one, while another agreed: "Awwww she looks tall!"

"Born on Monday morning just as @BBCBreakfast was wrapping up. We're all fine and dandy. Just getting used to the eau de sick/poo I am now regularly wearing. #babylife."

During a chat with the Express last year, Steph opened up about her decision to hide her loved one's identity, saying: "I would just get too mad if I started reading negative things about them. My daughter has no choice and my partner's not in the public eye, so I wouldn't want to subject them to the opinions of others."

Speaking to Woman & Home magazine in 2022, she revealed: "I don't think more children are on the cards. It's a bit like the Strictly question."

Steph appears to be making the most of her precious time with her only daughter - and it's something she's always prioritised.
Opening up about her work-life balance, Steph recently told The Sun's TV Magazine: "Now Saturdays and Sundays are about my partner and my daughter. My perfect Saturday is taking my little girl swimming, then we'll go out for lunch with her, which is chaos but we pretend it's fine."
