Alongside a snap of beaming down at her cute daughter Nancy in a yellow skater dress, the BBC Breakfast star captioned the photo:  “Ta Ta For Now.

“Signing off from Instagram for a few weeks. I *love* this site. I don’t take myself or the apparently perfect lives of others too seriously.

“I howl laughing every day from a scarily accurate meme. I connect with lovely people who I don’t get to see IRL. And there are loads of cats and babies

“Maybe I love it too much… Because I’ve found myself scrolling all. The. Time.

“Catching up on people’s stories, having a nosey at how people live who have nothing to do with me, and (the absolute grossest) checking for likes… Enough is enough.

“I’ve never had so many plates to spin, and this little chick needs my full attention more often.

“(I also need to see if our friendship extends beyond the holiday planning and kitten memes @catpatfox @helenkavanagh @helenboylen).”

She added: “See you soon. And @samantha_metcalfe_mua, you best not have seen this post!”
