Fleur East introduced her newborn daughter Nova to her "crazy uncle" Vito Coppola over the weekend and she has teased that they are already "best friends" after meeting.
The radio host, 36, gave birth to her daughter just last month after having announced earlier this year that she was expecting a baby with her husband Marcel Badiane-Robin. Their daughter Nova is now almost three weeks old.
Hits Radio presenter Fleur has kept her fans updated on parenthood through Instagram, including having shared content from the first few weeks since Nova's arrival. She took to the platform on Sunday to share that they had been visited by her Strictly Come Dancing partner Vito, 31.
Fleur took to Instagram with a photo of herself beside her former dance partner Vito, who was seen cradling Nova. She wrote alongside the selfie of them: "Nova's crazy uncle Vito came to visit and it's fair to say, they get on well." She included a laughing emoji in the caption of the photo.
The former X Factor finalist later shared another photo of guest Vito visiting her and Nova. It showed the professional dancer smiling as he held up the newborn. Fleur teased in the second photo's accompanying caption: "Best friends."

Fleur and Vito were partnered together for Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. The pair reached the final of the BBC show and were among the runners up, behind winners Hamza Yassin and his dance partner Jowita Przystał.
They have remained pals since the experience and and reunited on several occasions. They have both previously reflected on having competed together, including in a joint post shared on Instagram shortly after the show's final.
Fleur wrote in a post following the final: "Wow! What a ride! This entire experience has been incredible. We made memories we will cherish forever, friends we will keep for a lifetime and shared moments that are priceless. Congratulations to Hamza and Jowita for winning, we are so happy for you! But above all else, we feel like we won because we found each other. Thank you for all of your support and love. Thank you Strictly, for the adventure of a lifetime."
Vito said at the time shortly afterwards: "I must say: I have the best partner I could ever had. Every single time we perform I feel excited like the first time, and this is because you are simply an amazing performer, musician, singer, (now dancer), artist and most of all you are a marvellous human being! Love you crunchy and thanks for making my journey unique."
