EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy shares rare cute post of blonde mini-me daughter

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy shared a rare post of her blonde mini-me daughter Joanie.

The soap actress shares six-year-old Joanie with cameraman fiancé Marc Humphreys and 12-year-old Eliza with her ex Adam Cottrell.

The 39-year-old, who plays Sonia Fowler in the BBC soap, took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of her new hairstyle.

Natalie's brown hair was styled into one bouncy curl after leaving her locks in rollers while she was sleeping.

She pulled a face as she showed off the look to her 270,000 followers on Instagram.

Natalie wrote: "When it's been in rollers all night it does look like a wig she's not wrong.

"It's calmed down now #hairspray."

Meanwhile, her daughter Joanie was convinced her mum was wearing a wig.

Joanie is the spitting image of Natalie except with longer blonde locks.

In the post, she was wearing her school uniform as she hung out with her mum at the kitchen island.

Earlier this year, Natalie admitted she uses her nanny to be able to go down to the pub.

When she's not waltzing around Walford as Sonia, the mum-of-two enjoys a night out at her local, which is full of EastEnders fans.

Speaking about the importance of having some 'me time', Natalie said: "You've got to make time for yourself.

"So I've got a nanny and I've got minimum hours I've got to pay her a week and if I'm not busy I make sure I get a pub night in.

"I don't go every week and I try not to drink on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday," reports Jam Press.

Natalie shares glimpses of her personal life on her Instagram page.

She was recently criticised for sharing a picture of her daughter being homeschooled during the teacher's strike.

Natalie took to Instagram to post a sweet snap of her and her daughter Joanie sitting at the dining table.

They were surrounded by maths and spelling books as the actress told fans the six-year-old supported her teachers.

"Homeschooling this morning. Is it mad that I actually miss it a little bit?!?" she captioned the post.

"I have always loved learning with my kids at home, I have always bought lots of books to do if we have any available time."
