BBC Chloe's young stars have a famous dad pop fans will recognise

Two of the stars of the BBC's latest thriller have a famous dad that pop fans will recognise.

Carrying on their stream of dramas on BBC One, the latest from the broadcaster is called Chloe.

It begins on Sunday night (February 6) at 9pm and will air on Sunday and Monday night's for three weeks.

However, if you can't wait for each passing week, the whole series will be available on BBC iPlayer immediately before coming to Amazon Prime for its international release.

The original six-part drama is about a woman's obsession, Becky, with her estranged friend, Chloe.

Leading the cast as social media-obsessed Becky Green is The Crown's Erin Doherty while Chloe is played by Poppy Gilbert who recently starred as Barbie in Netflix's Stay Close.

But there will also be an appearance from two younger stars making their TV debut.

Ace and Chiara Gill play Noah and Edie in the new series.

And their dad just so happens to be a pop star.

JB Gill is a member of the boyband JLS who made a comeback before Covid hit in 2020.

The group shot to fame on The X Factor in 2008 and went on to have five number-one singles, sold over 10 million records worldwide, and regularly sold-out arenas across the country.

The band, which also stars Oritse Williams, Marvin Humes and Aston Merrygold, disbanded in December 2013, leading JB to focus on the farm he owns alongside his wife, Chloe.

In 2015 he became one of the main presenters of CBeebies show Down on the Farm alongside Storm Huntley and in more recent years has appeared regularly on Songs of Praise.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, JB shared his pride for his two children, seven-year-old Ace and three-year-old Chiara.

Sharing a picture of them stood at the door of their very own trailer, the singer and farmer wrote: "Can't believe both our babies are making their TV debut TOGETHER for the brand new@bbc @amazon 6-part series @watchingchloe directed by the amazing @aliceseabright!

"It’s airing on @bbcone and @bbciplayer THIS SUNDAY 6th February, you can also watch worldwide on Amazon Prime.

"Proud it’s the biggest understatement and huge thanks must go to everyone in the amazing cast and team for making their first TV experience so very special @erinrdoherty @pippabennettwarner @alexander.eliot!"

Chloe, who is a talented dancer, also shared the same post to her Instagram page with the introduction: "I'd like to introduce you to Noah & Edie."
