So much so that we’ve never had a real glimpse of her two children, Rex and Honey Krissy Wood – just beautiful snippets on Instagram.

And we respect that she wants to keep her children away from the spotlight.

However, it seems like Fearne couldn’t resist showing off her 11-month-old daughter’s beautiful head of flaming red hair.

Isn’t it gorgeous!

She wrote alongside the picture: "My little red head bed head #honeykrissy."

Her followers were quick to flood the photograph with positive comments, even sharing their own stories of having red hair when they were young. One user even commented that she was told to ‘dye her daughter’s hair another colour’ after she turned out to be a beautiful red-head.

“My daughter is a red head. Someone on Facebook told me I had to dye her hair as she hated red heads. It all kicked off as you can imagine. I'm proud to have a red head baby (16wks old) it doesn't make me love her any less x”

Another replied to her comment, saying: “That's terrible, I can't believe someone would be so horrible about your beautiful children. There are some nasty people out there! X”

Some were shocked at how much hair Honey had at such a young age and how different she looks to her big brother Rex, who has bright blonde locks.

One user commented the possible reason why: “So people wondering how they have produced a ginger, the redhead gene is recessive, meaning it often skips a generation as is not a dominant gene. Therefore if you have a dominant brunette gene (Br) the child would be brunette even if youre a carrier of the red gene. You need two (rr) genes to be a redhead. So both Honey's parents must be carriers of the (r) gene.”

Either way, litte Honey is gorgeous! She sure takes after he mumma!
