Rio's late wife and mother to his first three offspring, Rebecca Ellison, sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2015. 

Tia appeared to have grown double the size between the two images shared by Kate. 

In the sweet throwback snap from when Tia was much younger, she barely reaches Kate's torso but is now almost taller than her. 

Wearing similarly styled denim dresses, the TV presenter, posted the years-old photo of them wearing matching elasticated denim dresses. 

For the first image, the former TOWIE star held onto to Tia's younger shoulders as they walked through a hotel lobby together. 

In the second picture, the two are dressed in white as they held each other from behind closely while looking out onto the sea. 

Kate also took to her Instagram Stories to share some photos of the fun celebrations they had organised at home for Tia's special day.  

Showing off some pink balloons fashioned into a number 13, the blonde beauty wrote: 'Happy 13th birthday to our princess Tia. I love you so much. A very special girl [two pink hear emojis]'
