Rachel Riley has given birth to her second child with partner Pasha Kovalev.

The couple already have a daughter, called Maven who was born in 2019, and they announced this week that their second had arrived 15 days after its due date.

Riley announced the birth in a post on Twitter, saying that she had some news to share.

She wrote: "Introducing @PashaKovalev’s newest dance partner - baby Noa was finally born, 15 days after her due date, late on Friday night to the sound of fireworks!

"She’s totally adorable and her big sister Maven has already tried welcoming her to the world by offering Oatly and pickles, we think that’s a good sign.

"Massive thanks to the wonderful homebirth midwives team and my doula who looked after us all so well."

Riley met professional dancer Kovalev on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and married in Las Vegas in 2019.

In a follow-up tweet, Riley compared the appearance of her newborn daughter to Norwegian football professional manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

She tweeted: “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”, with a series of laughing emojis.
