"Clearly still can't get my head around it!! Pops you will be pleased to know I have worked out how to add music to these slide things (see I am able to use technology without you) but every bone in my body misses you, that's the only way to describe it," she said.

The star's sweet post was inundated with messages of encouragement, with one writing: "Aww so beautiful Jools, just adorable. She will be amazing and make you so proud. I bet you cried making this, just like I would," to which Jools said: "You know I did, took me ages."

"James funny when your little face popped up she has just requested me to send her your face tan, essential apparently. More important than the contact lenses!! Hope you are well."
