It's been almost a year since Kristina announced her pregnancy whilst competing in Celebrity Big Brother in January.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning weeks after Milena's birth, she'd said: "I had a tour planned, my own show after Strictly.

"But clearly the universe had other things planned as it all worked out differently."

This morning, she posted another cute picture, this time to Twitter as Milena - nicknamed Mila - spent quality time with her grandmother.
