Doting dad Peter, 52, was seen affectionately holding Belle close to him and giving her a sweet kiss on the head.

The birthday girl was treated to a pink-themed party with a cake and decorations including a balloon arch.

Arabella, who is called Belle for short, was seen clapping away with excitement while sat next to a giant teddy bear.

Guests were fed well with platters of fruit, meat, cheese and biscuits and sweet desserts.

Peter and Emily captioned the joint post: “We had such a lovely time having a small celebration for Belles birthday.

“Belle felt so loved and had the best day ever!“

Many fans quickly sent their wishes, with one writing: “Gorgeous Belle and what a beautiful 1st Birthday party and cake for your princess.”

A second gushed: “Beautiful photo. You’re both amazing parents and an inspiration to others. I’ve loved seeing Emily’s posts with advice for babies. Fantastic.”

A third commented: “What a beautiful picture of you both. How is she 1 already. Happy 1st birthday Arabella.”

Like all of Peter and Emily’s three children, they don’t often feature them on social media, but in December Emily made an exception to share some health advice with other parents.

Sharing a video to her Instagram Stories, she explained that Arabella had reached a new milestone as she was starting to have teeth come through.

Emily explained: “So I am very, very excited because we’ve reached a bit of a milestone as Belle here has cut her first tooth.

“So today I’m going to clean her teeth for the first time.”

She continued: “Now I wanted to do this and make a quick video about it to explain how important it is that you get babies cleaning their teeth from an early age.

“It’s just really about getting them used to it, getting used to the feel of the toothbrush and the toothpaste, and it can prevent the cavities and problems with their teeth throughout the rest of their life.”

Emily ended the video by adding that baby Belle “tolerated” the teeth brushing for just a few seconds, but the mum of three added: “That’s what it’s all about, just getting them used to it.

“Make it fun. And if you can try it twice a day to get them used to it, fantastic.”

The video has received high praise from fans, as one commented: “Such great advice Emily its so important to look after their teeth early.”

Another added: “Awww Emily your such a lovely person and a fantastic Mommy.”

However some followers pointed out that because Emily doesn’t ever show Belle’s face, it’s not showing how to brush an infant’s teeth properly.

One person wrote: “Honestly the most ridiculous video ever x I agree with cleaning the teeth but not showing the back of a babies head.”

Another shared: “Why even bring the baby if you can’t see ‘how’ you do it.”

“Shame we couldn’t see the brush and the mouth,” said a third.

The video comes as earlier this month as the couple opened up on whether they would grow their family further.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, Peter and Emily shared that they still have no intentions of growing their family any further.

As well as eight-month-old Belle, the pair share Millie, 10, and Theo, eight as well as and Peter’s two children from his previous marriage, Princess, 17, and Junior, 19.

Peter joked: “”Hell no! This is it.

“I always said I’d never be 50 and changing nappies, and yet here I am.

“But I’m done – we both are.”

Emily also agreed as she said: “That’s a categorical no from me.

“I love them all so much, but I already feel I don’t have enough time for each one individually.”
