The former Home and Away star has been making the most of Sydney's COVID lockdown by spending plenty of time with Mae.

The Nova FM radio star recently taught her daughter how to ride a bike.

Kate shared a photo to Instagram of Mae breaking down in tears while practising the right of passage.

In the picture, Kate is seen embracing her daughter and giving her a kiss while she's in tears.

'This reaction is to do with learning to ride her bike... Not Mumma's kisses... Promise,' she captioned the post.

Kate shares Mae with her estranged husband, retired NRL player Stuart Webb.

She reportedly moved out of their marital home in Randwick in late 2019 after police took out an interim AVO on her behalf against Stuart, following an incident at the property.

The star has since moved on with a younger man: 25-year-old businessman John Bell.
