And during the week he thrilled his followers, as he shared a rare family photo as Raphael was cradled by Jamie's mother, Sandra. The young boy was in a white T-shirt playing with some toys, while Sandra balanced him on her knee. She looked incredibly elegant, as she styled out a green blazer and white shirt with an opulent gold button as an accessory.

And others praised Sandra, as one said: "Your mum is a sweet heart," and another added: "Love Sandra's jacket xx."

Last month, the former footballer shared a photo of his baby son sat in a high chair with a bowl in front of him, that was presumably filled with mushed carrots.

Raphael looked surprised in the snap that his dad shared, and Jamie joked about this in his caption, as he joked: "And you're honestly telling me if I eat this I will be able to see in the dark!" He finished the post with a pair of carrot emojis.

Fans headed to the comments as they shared their recollections of having been told the same story as a child, with many revealing that they'd used it on their own children as well.
