However, over the weekend, the 21-year-old featured in several posts on her famous mom's Instagram Stories, much to the delight of fans.

Lola was pictured reading Kelly's new book, Live Wire, having finally got her hands on a copy of the much-anticipated read while reuniting with her parents in London - which she appears to have moved to for her year abroad.

She said of Lola's response: "My daughter really said 'Why? Why didn't you quit?' And I said to her, 'Because we don't quit when things get tough. [Most] people don't have the option to quit when things get tough and that's not how I was raised."

She continued: "That's not how I'm raising you. We don't quit just because things are hard, because things don't feel good.'"
