Earlier this week, the former Blue Peter presenter sparked a sweet fan reaction when she posted a snap of her little girl rocking a cherubic knitted jumper and a pair of blue wellies flecked with glitter. So sweet!

In the picture, the young tot could be seen beaming from ear to ear alongside a pal who donned matching blue wellies and a technicolour tutu.

Helen's fans couldn't help but notice how Elsie's sweet smile mirrored her famous mother's. Watch the video below to see how Helen's daughter is slowly following in the presenter's footsteps...

In her new book, In My Stride, Helen reflected on her break-up, writing: "I was in shock. I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn't see it coming and it sounds like a cliche, but that was me."

Elsewhere, Helen explained that she refuses to delete photos of herself with her former husband for the sake of her children. "I want them to know that we loved each other, but things change and that’s OK too," she added.
