Kym Marsh and lookalike daughter Emilie make joint career announcement with major musical news for Manchester

Former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh and her lookalike daughter Emilie are to star together on stage in Manchester - playing the SAME character in hit Take That musical Greatest Days. The stage show follows a group of boyband fans that we first see as teenagers in the 1990s, and then through to present day when they are in their 40s.

It gives the talented mum and daughter the opportunity to star on stage as the very same chacter at different stages of her life. Kym, 46, will play Rachel, while Emilie, 24, will star as "Young Rachel" in the musical which celebrates the songs and fans of the Manchester-formed band Take That.

The duo had teased a "big announcement" on their Instagram pages at the weekend. And they broke the news on BBC's Good Morning Live show on Monday morning.
