Adding what she would love to teach her daughter, she added: “When she’s older I’m going to teach her about creating positive change in the world, for now.

“From Babies with Love’s beautiful, organic baby clothes are such a heartwarming way to contribute.”

Many of her fans flocked to her post to gush about her adorable offering.

Since welcoming Maven last month, the former Strictly Come Dancing star has been sharing moments from her family life.

Following her daughter’s arrival, she told fans she gave birth in her bathroom, two weeks after Maven’s due date.

The maths expert cradled her cute tot alongside her husband Pasha on Instagram.

As part of a lengthy caption, she wrote: “2 weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance!

“Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4.

“After keeping us waiting she came so quickly we didn’t have a chance to get to the hospital and was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula and wonderful St Mary’s midwives rushing over to be with us in the nick of time!”

Rachel announced the news of her pregnancy in the form of a conundrum as she cradled her bump in front of the famous Countdown board back in May.

Following this, she tied the knot with Pasha in secret at a Las Vegas ceremony, before announcing the news on social media.
