Captioning the post, Natalie wrote: ‘Our gorgeous Joanie had the best 6th birthday ever! Celebrated with nearest and dearest, she loved the whole day. Where does the time go? I can’t believe she is 6 and getting funnier by the minute.’
Natalie has been engaged to Marc since 2015, and she is mum to daughters Eliza, 11, and Joanie.

The wholesome snaps come after the actress revealed that she was paid £100,000 to lose four stone for a fitness DVD in 2007 – but regained the weight in eight weeks.
The soap star who is best known for playing Sonia Fowler in the BBC One show, admitted she regretted agreeing to the deal for the Then & Now Workout DVD.
Opening up on the Comfort Eating with Grace Dent podcast, Natalie, 39, spoke about how she was offered the huge sum in order to shed a whopping four stone.
The star released two weight-loss DVDs, Then and Now and The Perfect Ten in 2013.

‘I was very overweight and they approached me and said listen, we’re going to give you £100,000, we’re going to get you really fit and you’re going to lose four stone,’ she explained.
‘I was like happy days, let’s go for it. I just thought, that’s a lot of money; but it wasn’t the right thing to do.
‘It wasn’t – you are losing a lot of weight in a three or four-month period, twelve or sixteen weeks, low calories and training every day.
‘I got there, and as soon as that DVD came out, I ate for England. I put all the weight back on in eight weeks.’
Elsewhere, the TV favourite poked fun at herself saying she would ‘look like a supermodel’ if it wasn’t for her favourite condiment – mayonnaise.
