In a post dating back to July 2019, Gareth uploaded another stunning picture of him with Missy, noting his thoughts on her privacy.

He gushed: ‘I rarely share pictures of my daughter. I never like exposing too much of her, I think it should be her choice when she’s a little older. 

‘BUT – I had to share this. I can’t believe how beautiful she is. I love you Missy moo. You’re my world. #nofilter #daddydaughter’.

Gareth and Suzanne were together for ten years but split in 2011.

Following their split, the Bradford-born star said in a statement: ‘Despite our efforts over the past three years to make our marriage work, sadly Suzanne and I have decided to separate.

‘Whilst we have grown apart, we love and cherish our wonderful daughter Missy and together we will prioritise her happy upbringing’.
