TV Presenter and author Steph McGovern has shared a new picture with her rarely-seen daughter.
Taking to her Instagram Stories at the weekend, the former Steph's Packed Lunch host uploaded a snapshot that showed the pair enjoying a day at the beach. In the image, Steph was shown lying down on a stretch of golden sand with her legs covered in pools of shimmering sand.
In the corner of the image, her young daughter was just about visible, armed with a fluorescent-yellow spade.
Captioning the mother-daughter moment, Steph, 42, humorously quipped in her caption: "Currently being buried alive by my daughter…"

Steph and her partner welcomed their daughter back in November 2019. The pair seem content with their current family setup, with Steph telling Woman & Home magazine: "I don't think more children are on the cards. It's a bit like the Strictly question.

Steph's Bear Hunt adventure
The broadcast journalist recently appeared on Celebrity Bear Hunt alongside hosts Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls. Set in a Costa Rican jungle, the series sees 12 celebrity contestants "become prey" as they are hunted down by survival expert Grylls.

"My little girl was four when I was doing it, and she doesn't quite understand or know what I do, but she understood the concept of a jungle," the presenter revealed.

She added: "It's funny, how they've grown with us, and with the stories we've told them about it. They'll probably watch it and go, 'Oh you were a bit rubbish'!"
