ITV Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor's famous daughter had a superstar ex-boyfriend

Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor is currently entertaining audiences with her performances on Dancing On Ice.

The 58-year-old Sally Metcalfe actress donned her skates for the latest season of the ITV programme.

Her journey is set to continue after she survived last week's tense skate-off against Happy Mondays' Bez.

The actress is one of Coronation Street's most iconic figures as she has been a mainstay on the Cobbles since 1986.

Across her 36 years on Corrie, Sally has been Mayor of Weatherfield, married three times and even been sent to prison.

Sally doesn't get too much of a break from the world of showbiz as she hails from a very famous household.

Her husband, Tim Dynevor, is a scriptwriter, who wrote for Emmerdale until 2016.

The happily married couple share three children, including the acclaimed actress Phoebe Dynevor.

The 26-year-old shot to stardom with her role as Siobhan Mailey on Waterloo Road in 2009 - and her career has continued to go from strength to strength.

She played the lead role in Netflix's Bridgerton, which was the streaming platform's biggest hit of all time when season one debuted on December 25, 2020.

Phoebe played Daphne Bridgerton in the period drama - and audiences fell in love with her portrayal of the character as she navigated London's competitive marriage market.

The star recently made her feature film debut in The Colour Room - and her mum was gushing with pride when she spoke of how Phoebe has followed in her acting footsteps.

She told Mirror Online : “I just want to say I’m very proud of Phoebe."

She added: "Phoebe decided she wanted to act when she was 12 or 13.

“My mother-in-law Shirley said to me, ‘You mustn’t dissuade her. Actors are the most wonderful people in the world and the most fun’.

“I thought, ‘She’s absolutely right’. And even if it’s very difficult, she’s going to have a great time.

“I was probably more nervous watching her in something than I’d ever been for me, but she’s doing OK."

Phoebe's love life hit the headlines last year when she was spotted cosying up to Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson at Wimbledon.

The pair were in London together while Phoebe filmed the second season of Bridgerton, which is set to premiere next month.

However, their romance was short-lived as the stand up comedian is now involved in a high profile relationship with Kim Kardashian.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITV Hub
