Rachel Riley has been seen for the first time since she won the first round in her legal battle against one of Jeremy Corbyn's closest aides.
The Countdown host, 34, looked in good spirits as she partook her daily exercise session under lockdown with her daughter Maven.
Riley placed one hand lovingly on her four-month-old, using the other to stare intensely at her phone as she walked in London on Wednesday.

Rachel Riley looked the epitome of summer-chic as she stepped out for a stroll with her adorable baby Maven.
The star wore a dress by high-street brand Zara, featuring classic blue stripes off-set with a fun floral pattern. We love the button-down front too, which adds a nice touch, as does the chic midi length.
We couldn't help noticing the cool leopard print baby carrier either, which is a cult favourite baby product by Artipoppe, also spotted on the likes of Myleene Klass, Chrissy Teigen, Doutzen Kroes, Slick Woods, Jessica Alba, journalist Pandora Sykes and many more.
Sadly Rachel's dress has now sold out, but you can get the look with the similar styles we've lined up for you below.

Riley's outing comes amid her legal battle with Corbyn's aide.
A High Court judge ruled that the comments posted online by Laura Murray, head of complaints for the Labour party, against the TV star showed a 'defamatory tendency'.
Mr Justice Nicklin also said the description of Riley was defamatory within common law.

Sweet: Her golden locks were swept up into a topknot, while she accessorised with circular shades, tan sandals and a Native American print rucksack.
The legal action followed a Twitter row between Riley, 33, and Murray, after former Labour leader Corbyn had an egg thrown at him outside a mosque in Finsbury Park, London on March 4 last year.
Murray said a post retweeted by Riley compared Corbyn to a Nazi and inferred he deserved to be attacked.
In a tweet that has since been removed, Murray wrote: 'Today Jeremy Corbyn went to his local mosque for visit my mosque day, and was attacked by a Brexiteer.

'Rachel Riley tweets that Corbyn deserves to be violently attacked because he is a Nazi.
'This woman is as dangerous as she is stupid. Nobody should engage with her. Ever.'
In response, Riley launched legal action against Murray.
Legal papers lodged at the High Court alleged that the TV star's reputation has been 'seriously damaged' and she has been caused 'substantial anxiety, humiliation, upset and distress' because of Murray's tweet.
Losing the opening round of their legal battle means Murray now potentially faces having to prove that Riley would support violent action against Corbyn to defend the £50,000 libel case.
Riley launched her legal action a year ago as the anti-Semitism row raged within the Labour Party.
The dispute originally began hours after a protester threw an egg at Corbyn outside the mosque last year.
Stepping out in style: Riley's outing comes amid her legal battle with Jeremy Corbyn's aide
Riley, who is Jewish, took to Twitter, having used the social media platform to attack the then-Labour leader over anti-Semitism within his party
She re-tweeted a comment made by left wing commentator Owen Jones two months earlier when a neo-Nazi had an egg thrown at him.
The columnist for the Guardian newspaper wrote at the time: 'I think sound life advice is, if you don't want eggs thrown at you, don't be a Nazi. Seems fair to me.
Riley re-tweeted the comment as a reference to Corbyn being hit by an egg and described it as 'good advice'.
Murray, daughter of trade union leader Andrew Murray, used her own Twitter account to mount what Riley's lawyer said was an 'appalling distortion of the truth'.
Claim: Laura Murray, head of complaints for the Labour party and an aide of Jeremy Corbyn, claimed a post retweeted by Riley compared Corbyn to a Nazi
In his preliminary ruling, Mr Justice Nicklin rejected legal submissions from Murray's lawyers that her tweet was a stating an opinion and not defamatory.
He said the tweet posted by Murray represented a 'statement of fact.'
The judge said in an assessment of the 'natural and ordinary meaning of the tweet' Murray's claim that anti-Corbyn campaigner Riley was 'as dangerous as she is stupid' and that 'Nobody should engage with her. Ever' was indeed opinion - but it was also 'defamatory at common law'.
In his written judgement, Mr Justice Nicklin broke down the Murray tweet sentence by sentence to show what he said was defamatory and what in his opinion was a statement of fact.
He said the allegation that Riley was ‘a dangerous and stupid person who people should not engage with' was defamatory as was the claim by Murray that Riley had said Corbyn deserved to be ‘violently attacked
