EASTENDERS star Natalie Cassidy has shared a rare video of daughter Joanie with fans capturing the pair enjoying some quality time together.
The BBC actress, 40, is busy juggling her soap filming schedule with her off-screen role as a mum-of-two.
Natalie, who plays EastEnders' long-time character Sonia Fowler, shares Joanie, seven, with fiance Marc Humphreys.
She is also mum to 12-year-old Eliza from a previous relationship - and hinted mum-guilt was creeping in in her latest Instagram Stories.
The actress showcased her perched at the kitchen table as they played a game of Word Bits.

In her caption, she confessed: "I'm REALLY busy working this week.
"Getting home for 4pm and having a few hours to just sit and be with this one is really special.
"Even if she's cheating."
Natalie then captured her daughter's sneaky game style in action, with the youngster exclaiming: "We can play up until we get a whole set."
Joanie, wearing a cute striped top and shorts, was then tasked with naming a TV programme to match the letters shown on the cubes.
After the schoolgirl suggested Pirates of the Carribbean as the answer, Natalie replied: "It's not a TV programme though its a film," before Joanie quipped: "Doesn't matter."
Natalie then retorted: "It does matter but ahh you can have it, you can have it."
Last year, she cozied up to the look-a-like youngster for a sweet snap before celebrating her seventh birthday later in the summer.
The proud mum also stunned fans after revealing her eldest daughter Eliza had been secretly taking part on Junior Bake Off.

Soap future
Her family and work life juggle comes after the actress opened up on her 30-year career on the soap.
She talked of her future on the BBC tea-time show after making her first appearance as Sonia Fowler in December 1993 when she was aged 10.
Natalie has now confirmed she has no plans to go anywhere any time soon.
Natalie said: "I think it’s an honour to have been there for as long as I have, I was 10 when I joined.
"What I have which is nice is that Sonia isn’t sensational at all. She really is one of the most normal characters.
"She goes to work, she goes over to the GP's surgery, she works her nuts off, she goes home and she has her tea. I do think that people do like that sort of normal character."
She continued: "She’s a bit like a pair of curtains, she’s the fabric of the show, you need the wallpaper that you know.
"If you turn it on you’ve grown up with Sonia. I think it’s possible that she could be there until she is very old."
