The cute mother-daughter post comes after Sophie announced that she’s now learning to be a florist on Friday’s episode of Gogglebox.
Fans were relieved to hear of the career move after the armchair critic was made redundant from her job at Debenhams in December.
Sophie was among thousands who lost their jobs after the retailer confirmed it was going into liquidation after 242 years of trading.
Taking to Instagram to make a statement at the time, the 24-year-old said: ‘We might be going but we are going with a smile.’

Sophie had previously expressed her sorrow at people ‘losing their jobs’ during the Covid-19 pandemic, breaking down in tears while filming Gogglebox in November.
She watched Boris Johnson’s televised broadcast announcing a second UK lockdown and quickly burst into tears.
Realising his sister had become upset, Pete, 26, asked Sophie: ‘Are you all right?’
To which the retail worker replied: ‘It’s just sad, innit, it’s just s**t for everybody.
‘It just gets even worse and more people are going to lose their jobs and things like that. It’s just awful.’
He told her: ‘Don’t be upset kid. Because you’ll set me off.’
