Rachel added: “Massive thanks to the wonderful home birth midwives team and my doula who looked after us so well.”
In another photo posted to Twitter, Rachel joked that her daughter bears a striking resemblance to Ole Gunnar Solskjær, a Norwegian football manager and striker.
She wrote: “PS is it just me or does she look a bit like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer here? Guess they didn’t call him the baby-faced assassin for nothing.”

Rachel began dating her dancing partner Pasha Kovalev shortly after their time together on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013.
The couple got married in Las Vegas in June 2019, and in December that year, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter who they named Maven Aria.
