Ryan Thomas has shared his reaction to his daughter's Waterloo Road debut which aired tonight.
Ryan, 38, was ever the proud dad as his 14-year-old daughter Scarlett, whom he shares with ex Tina O'Brien, made her on-screen debut on the Rochdale-based drama as it returned to BBC after seven years away.
In the show's revival, teenager Scarlett plays Donte Charles (played by Ryan's brother Adam Thomas) and Chlo Grainger's daughter Izzie.
