Proud celebrity parents were sending their kids off for their first days back at school this week.

Strictly Come Dancing mums Dani Dyer and Lacey Turner led the stars saying an emotional goodbye to their little ones on Thursday as the new academic year began.

Ahead of her dancing rehearsals ramping up soon, Dani, 30, shared snaps of her son Santi, five, and twin daughters Summer and Star, three, - who she shares with her footballer husband Jarrod Bowen.

Dressed in their matching green uniforms she penned: 'Year 1 & Pre-School. How is time going by so quickly?! The twins have started Santis School together, which means just one school drop off for mummy - woohooo!

'It really is the small wins in life! I honestly can't believe how quickly they're growing.
