As Mel turned 40 last week, Andrea took to Twitter to share a couple of sweet throwback of daughter.
The first black and white snap showed a young Mel having her make-up done, and Andrea wrote: “Today I have a 40 old child loved and missed so badly!! Official 1st makeup artist ME!![sic]”
Next to another picture of Mel doing the splits Andrea said: “@officialmelB 40 today hope ur birthday is as special as u r 2 me luv and miss u FOREVER X [sic]”
Mel has been estranged from her mum since she and husband Stephen Belafonte renewed their wedding vows in 2008, with reports suggesting the family didn’t approve of him.
It is thought that Andrea still hasn’t met Mel’s youngest daughter Madison – and in 2012 she predicted she never would.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I only found out she was pregnant because of Twitter and I found out on Twitter that she’d had the baby too.”
Andrea seems to be doing everything she can to reconnect with Mel: as well as the emotional posts she also followed her on the social networking site this week.
Mel has yet to respond to her mother’s tweets.
