Charlie Brooks shares rare pics of daughter Kiki who appeared with her on I'm A Celeb

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has shared some adorable photos of her daughter Kiki to mark her 17th birthday.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! fans will remember a young Kiki joining her mum on the show in 2012 before she was crowned Queen of the Jungle.

Charlie prefers to keep her daughter out of the limelight, but has taken to Instagram to post some super cute snaps showing off their very close bond.

The soap actress, best known for playing scheming Janine Butcher in EastEnders, is seen sporting some fabulous sunglasses that match her daughter's as they stand next to an intriguing-looking statue.

The pair look just like each other with Charlie wearing a cream woollen coat and floral dress while Kiki rocks a black hoodie, leggings and trainers.

In another shot the duo take a fab selfie with Charlie playfully sticking her tongue out for the camera.

Captioning the pics, Charlie, 40, wrote: "Happy 17th birthday little miss kiki. YOU'RE SEVENTEEN! Jesus C****t.

"We are doing life aren’t we?! Up and down and in and out. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

'Well… I might wish for some more cuddles and the occasional cup of tea. You have been my biggest teacher, and I love you more than you will ever know. On we go my little not so little girl xx."

Kiki stole I'm A Celeb viewers' hearts in 2012 when she was reunited with her mum, who had just been announced as the winner of the show.

The much-loved actress beat favourite Pussy Cat Dolls' Ashley Roberts to take home the crown.

Her win came moments after an emotional reunion with daughter Kiki, who rushed on to the set to greet her mum.

Little Kiki, then 7, jumped into her mother's arms and squealed: "I missed you so much."

Charlie and her now-ex fiancé Tony welcomed Kiki into the world in 2004.

The couple split two years after their daughter's birth but still remain close.

Speaking on Yahoo UK' s White Wine Question Time podcast, Charlie said: "My ex-partner Ben, who I was with for five or six years, who’s an amazing human being, you know, we woke up on Christmas Day together, all of us.

"Tony would come down, we’d all get into bed and open the presents together with Kiki, cos she adores Ben."

Charlie rarely posts snaps of her daughter, but she does treat fans to a little sneak peek into their life every now and again.

Earlier this year the actress shared a sweet old home movie of Kiki dancing around the bedroom as she shared her emotion at how quickly her little girl was growing up.

She wrote: "Kiki. Super girl.

"Sometimes I get this video out because it makes me very happy. Sometimes it makes me cry. That little person is very nearly all grown up, and I miss my baby, but coming through the other side of teenage years,(thank f**k), and they can be tough, and interesting and terrifying and unpredictable, I have a young woman who brings me ALL the joy."
