Ryan Thomas made fans swoon after sharing a picture of his "stunning" daughter on social media.
The former Coronation Street star, 38, shares 13-year-old Scarlett with actress Tina O'Brien, who played Ryan's on-screen love interest in the ITV show. The pair split in 2009 but co-parent Scarlett, who's set to try her hand at acting herself when hit BBC drama 'Waterloo Road' makes a return to TV screens later this year.
And on Thursday evening (July 21), Ryan took his daughter along with him to a star-studded event at Peter Street Kitchen in Manchester, to celebrate the launch of the restaurant's new menu. The actor took to Instagram to share a snap of him posing with Scarlett, and fans were quick to point out her resemblance to her soap star mum.
