Rachel Stevens left her daughters speechless when she introduced a new addition to their family - a kitten named Coco.

Sharing the adorable news with her 379k followers, she wrote: We have a little tiny new addition to the family, meet Coco." This was followed by a short video showing the reaction of her daughters Amelie and Minnie, as she captured them holding Coco for the first time.

Minnie, 10, appeared speechless and emotional as she cradled the tiny animal in her arms. And her older sister Amelie, 13, was full of excitment as she too held Coco, who nestled comfortably in her arms. The clip was accompanied by the song Little Things by Adrien Berenguer.

It wasn't that long ago the S Club singer, who was recently on a reunion tour with her group, posted a series of videos of both her children following in her footsteps as they individually took to the stage. In one clip, Rachel, 45, shared with fans her youngest daughter Minnie singing what appeared to be a musical theatre song, while dressed casually in a pair of denim jeans. She captioned the clip: "My heart." She then added: " Wait for the sass, my heart could burst."

And it seems it's not just Minnie who has inherited Rachel's talent, so too has her eldest daughter Amelie, who she shares with her ex husband Alex Bourne. In another clip, Amelie was on stage wearing an outfit reminiscent of Rachel back in her hey day. And accompanying this clip, Rachel wrote: "Forever and always so proud of my girls." She continued: "My girl working so hard and following her dreams and passions. Fills my heart."

This comes after Rachel announced that she has been putting the finishing touches to her first autobiography, Finding My Voice - A Story of Strength, Self-belief and S Club. Completing her tell-all memoir has taken up all of Rachel's time which is the reason she said she's been absent from social media. In a statement on her Instagram, she told fans: "Hi all I know I've been really quiet on here for a while...It's been full on to say the least!"

She added: "Thought I'd share this little throwback as over the past year I have been working hard on a very exciting and personal project. I've literally been either in mum mode or writing mode and its been a lot but it's nearly there!! Eek. Can't wait to share my story with you all , sending much love."

The book is due for release next week. But at the time of announcing her news last year, she wrote: "Hi everyone, I am SO excited to finally announce that behind the scenes, I've been working on a brand new, very personal project… I've written my first-ever book! FINDING MY VOICE: A Story of Strength, Self-Belief and S Club 7 will publish on the 25th April next year."
