Proud dad Kelvin captioned the post: “‘Where the shops at Dad? Sorry, soft play, where’s the soft play at?’ I took my first steps with my mum and today, 33 years later, my daughter took her first steps with my mum. 🙌🏻 ❤️ #family.”

Fans rushed to comment on the precious picture.

One said: “Beautiful pic 😍 they grow up so fast.”

“Super cute,” another added.

A third wrote: “Very special. You’ve GOT to put this in a frame.”

Actor Kelvin welcomed the little tot back in August last year.

The star and wife Liz Marsland introduced their baby girl to the world in an interview and photoshoot with OK! Magazine.

Speaking about becoming a first-time dad Kelvin said: “I never imagined I could be so obsessed with a little person. I knew I’d be hands-on, but fatherhood is incredible.

“I can’t imagine life without her now.”

Doting mum Liz added: “Marnie’s incredible, she’s such a little angel. She sleeps really well and she’s a really calm baby.”

But not everything was plain sailing. The couple opened up about the traumatic 30-hour labour.

Kelvin told the mag: “Liz had to have a blood transfusion, but she was so brave.

“Seeing Liz go through a traumatic birth made me look at her in a different light.

“I have utmost respect for her and my love for her has gone up tenfold, and in a different way too; there’s a bond that’s created instantly and I’m indebted to Liz forever for bringing Marnie into the world. It’s a miracle.”

Childhood sweethearts Kelvin and Liz tied the knot in 2015.

“I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her,” Kelvin told HELLO!

“Deep down I knew she was the one.”

Talking about their big day Kelvin, who played Andy Sugden in the ITV soap, revealed Liz “took my breath away”.

He said: “We’re here in a big posh venue but I’m just a working class boy. And it’s the simple things that matter to me – like genuine love and support.

“The image of Liz coming towards me up the aisle will stay with me forever.

“She took my breath away. She looked so beautiful,” he added.
