Coronation Street alum Brooke Vincent has shared a rare throwback of her mum Nicola Anderton, with fans noting the striking similarity between the mother and daughter.
The actor, 29, - who is best known for having played Sophie Webster on the ITV soap - posted the photo on Instagram, writing in the caption: "It was always just us two."
The snap showed Brooke as a toddler wearing a blue floral dress and pointing towards the camera in the photo, as she was held by her mother Nicola, who looks the spitting image of the actress today.
With the same facial features and brown hair, a stylish Nicola beamed as she cradled little Brooke in her arms for the playground snap- and fans couldn't get over how similar they look.
The post has amassed a number of comments, with Nicola herself responding: "Always has been. Always will be. Now with a few extra people in our lives that we both adore."
Fans were quick to mention a resemblance between the pair, with one person writing in the comments section: "Gosh you look so much like your beautiful mum now."
Another said: "Absolute double." A third wrote: "Wow Brooke you're so like your beautiful mum." Whilst another person responded: "Omg spitting image of your mum."
"Wow. You're so like your mum. I thought it was you many years ago," said a fan who had mistaken Nicola for Brooke. Similarly, another said: "I thought your mum was you."
There was also praise for the photo from fellow celebrities, including Brooke's on-screen mum Sally Dynevor, 58, who said in the comments section: "Beautiful picture."
Former co-star Michelle Keegan, 34, said: "Awww love this." Whilst current Corrie cast member Sally Ann Matthews, 51, teased: "And you've driven her mad ever since."

Emmerdale alum Charley Webb, 34, said the pair were the "actual image" of each other, with TOWIE 's Lydia Bright, 31, similarly writing: "So much like your mumma."
Brooke appeared on Corrie between 2004 and 2019. She had been the third, but most recognisable, actor to play the role of Sophie on the popular ITV soap opera since 1994.
It was reported earlier this year that there are no immediate plans for her reprise the role, with her instead said to be focused on being a "full-time" parent to her children.
Brooke has been in a relationship with footballer Kean Bryan, 25, since 2016. The couple are parents to eldest child Mexx Bryan, two, and 11-month-old Monroe Bryan.
