Rochelle Humes got emotional as she took her seven-year-old daughter back to school and started sobbing after saying goodbye.
The 31-year-old TV presenter took to her Instagram Stories to share her experience after spending months at home with her children due to the coronavirus lockdown.
She shares Alaia, seven, Valentina, three, and Blake, four months, with husband Marvin Humes.
"So I just dropped Alaia off at school and it was actually harder than I anticipated," Rochelle said from her car.
"So if you haven’t done the school run yet, prepare yourselves. She was happy this morning and excited, and then she said, 'I'm worried I'm going to miss you'."
"I said, 'Are you joking? You're going to be back with your favourite people', and I just didn't make a big deal out of it," she continued.
"When we got to the gates she started crying and obviously I didn't and I was like, 'You're going to have the best day, this is amazing! Then she shut the door."
Rochelle then mimicked what she looked like when she began sobbing and said she immediately called her mum.
The star said it felt strange as the family were waiting for "this day" for so long, but still ended up crying over saying goodbye to her daughter for the day.
In January, Rochelle posted a throwback photo of Alaia and Valentina in their adorable school uniforms.
"A little throwback to when our babies were going to school as normal," she captioned the post of the duo hugging each other.
"So proud of all of our little ones and how they are adjusting to this hopefully temporary 'new normal'.
"They really are handling this better than us... Homeschooling isn't ideal and I'm sure they all really miss their friends and a proper routine.
"When playing teacher becomes tough I have to keep reminding myself how bloody weird it is for them...
"If we can get them through this mentally then I think we have all done a pretty good job..everything else will work itself out.
She ended the post: "Sending you all lots of love (and wine LOTS of wine )."
