This actress has very famous parents who look just like her. 

Her mother and father are both soap icons, and at aged 16-years-old, it looks as if this young actress is heading in the same direction. 

She made her acting debut in Waterloo Road in 2023 and has another hidden talent – an incredible singing voice. 

But it seems the star already has a very showbiz lifestyle as her stepmother previously starred on the ITV2 reality show, TOWIE, for three years and her uncle came third on this year’s dating show, Love Island. 

In snaps posted on Instagram on Thursday, the young star showed off her sophisticated sense of style as she donned a pale yellow top and maxi skirt co-ord. 

But can you guess who her famous parents are?

Scarlett Jacqueline Thomas’s mother is Coronation Street legend Tina O’Brien, 41, and her father is former actor Ryan Thomas, 40. 

Tina and Ryan were once Coronation Street’s ‘It’ couple. They met on the set of the ITV soap in 2000 when Ryan joined the cast as Jason Grimshaw. Meanwhile, Tina landed the role of Sarah Platt one year prior. 

The former couple dated for six years from 2003 to 2009, and welcomed Scarlett in 2008. 

Tina is now in a relationship with personal trainer Adam Crofts and the pair tied the knot on New Year’s Eve in 2018. They also share a son together, Beau Lee Stephen, who was born in 2014. 

Ryan is also in a happy relationship with TV personality Lucy Mecklenburgh, 33. The pair have been together since 2017 when they met on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. 

The couple got engaged in June 2019 and share two children together, Roman, 4, and daughter Lilah, 3. 

Ryan is known for playing the role of Jason Grimshaw on the Cobbles from 2000 until 2016. 

In 2018, he played Rafael Humphreys in the Australian soap opera Neighbours and won the 22nd series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Meanwhile, Tina is best known for her portrayal of Sarah Platt on the Cobbles. She made her debut on the show in 1999, playing the character until 2008, before returning to the soap again in 2015. 

She also appeared in the BBC One drama series Waterloo Road from 2010 to 2011. So, it’s no surprise that Scarlett has acting in her blood. 

At the age of 14, the budding actress was quickly snapped up for her first major role on screen, winning the part of Izzie Charles in the BBC drama Waterloo Road. 

During her stint on the series, Scarlett starred alongside her uncle, former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas, 36. 

He played her on-screen father, Donte, while his son Teddy, 9, who he shares with his wife Caroline Thomas, played his on-screen son. 

While previously appearing on an episode of BBC’s Morning Live, co-host Kym Marsh asked Adam if he had given his niece any acting tips ahead of her starring in the show.

He replied: ‘To be fair she doesn’t need it’, and it seems he was right – because it wasn’t long before she was nominated for her first acting award.

Her mother Tina took to Instagram at the time to share her pride: ‘So proud of Scarlett, she’s worked so hard on Waterloo road and I’ve absolutely loved watching her portrayal of Izzy.’ 

‘Wonderful to see her talent recognised by @tvtimesmagazine as she’s been nominated for an award #proud mum.’ 

Meanwhile, her father also took to Instagram to share his excitement as his teen daughter followed in his footsteps. 

He said in a video: ‘What a time to be alive. Tonight, BBC One, 8pm, Waterloo Road, my little brother Adam, my little nephew Teddy and eldest daughter Scarlett take over the TV screen together as a family.’ 

‘Talk about a proud moment for the Thomases! Wow. I can’t wait for you guys to see it. We watched it together as a family.’
