Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell wowed stand-in Lorraine host Ranvir Singh on breakfast TV when she revealed her real age.
The soap star is renowned for her role as Amelia Spencer in the popular Yorkshire soap. Amelia is currently enduring a turbulent time in the village after she discovered she is pregnant.
The character began suffering bouts of dizziness and collapsed in scenes that aired last week. Doctors told Amelia the collapse was due to side effects from taking diet pills, however she was stunned to hear she was also expecting a child.

Amelia is now considering an abortion and actress Daisy spoke to Ranvir on Tuesday's edition of Lorraine, Liverpool Echo reports. She spoke about how the harrowing storyline was initially thought of by her and onscreen dad, Liam Fox.
She said: "We had this idea for a story in our head and we just pitched it to the producers." Daisy said she was "proud" as the storyline has led to her getting involved with ITV's mental health campaign, Britain Get Talking.
She said: "[Amelia] has got this whole vulnerable side coming out of her with this storyline and there's so much anxiety building up inside her. She's only 15 and she's got nobody to speak to so I think it really ties in well with the campaign.
"I wanted this storyline to do justice to young teen mums. "They're so amazing and I've had loads of messages from them. I'm doing this for them."
Ranvir was impressed when Daisy revealed she is older than her on-screen character. The soap star said: "I'm 18, but I turn 19 on Thursday. I'm filming on my birthday but I'm going to be go out for a meal and then I'm going for a drink with my friends."
Ranvir praised Daisy's maturity as she said: "You've got a wise head on young shoulders."
ITV's Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am.
