Good Morning Britain's Charlotte Hawkins has shared a rare glimpse of her five-year-old daughter Ella - who looks just like her.

Ella Rose and the newsreader were seen sporting matching grins as they showed off a colourful cupcake.

The star wrote: "Big smiles all round as it’s been a while since we’ve had a proper cake!! (I can’t get hold of any icing sugar!).

Charlotte also thanked cake makers ButterandCreamCakes for sending Ella the sweet treat in her post and revealed the cake was based on her talented daughter's own design.

"I was delighted to be asked to be a judge for @buttercreamycakes Dream Cupcake competition in aid of @surreydriveuk, who’ve been providing hot meals for frontline workers.

"Well done all the winners, and a huge thank you to Butter & Cream cakes for making Ella Rose’s dream cat cupcake a reality! This is not going to last long..."

Many of Charlotte's funs rushed to the comment section to show their approval for her post.

Charlotte and her husband Mark welcomed their daughter in 2015.

She told The Mirror in 2018 how having Ella transformed the pair's life.

Charlotte said: "We tried for a few years, and I’d got to the stage where I was worried because it just wasn’t happening. It was a stressful time… I still look at her now and am amazed at the fact that we created this little being, but it still sometimes scares me thinking how different our life would have been if we hadn’t had her."

She said the arrival of her daughter had helped the family overcome the death of her father, Frank, who suffered from Motor Neurone Disease.

Speaking to Hello! magazine she said: "It would have been lovely if he'd been able to see Ella Rose, but the main thing was being able to tell him that we were having a baby because we'd been trying for such a long time. He was so thrilled - he had a tear in his eye."
