Ryan Thomas handed 'best dad' award by fans as he shares hilarious way to save money on dream holiday

Ryan Thomas has been awarded the 'best dad' award by his fans after he jokingly shared a way they could save money on a dream holiday. The actor, who rose to fame when he joined Coronation Street aged 16, took to Instagram with a sweet yet funny video of himself with his two youngest children.

Ryan, 38, shares son Roman, three, and one-year-old daughter Lilah Rae with his fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh. A father of three, the former soap star, who also had a stint in Neighbours, is also dad to teenage daughter Scarlett, who he welcomed with his ex and former cobbles co-star Tina O'Brien.

But taking to social media earlier this week, Ryan was seen with his two youngest kids at their Essex home. He was being filmed by former TOWIE star Lucy as he played with Roman and Lilah with the help of the TV and a laundry basket.
