How Catherine Tate’s lookalike daughter Erin, 22, has inherited her comedy talents as she enlists the star for hilarious TikTok skits and channels her art pᴀssions while dividing her time between London and sunny LA

Catherine Tate is known to millions for her hilarious comedy talents, having travelled the universe as The Doctor’s companion and fronted her own sketch show.

But it seems the beloved star has pᴀssed on her performing skills to her daughter Erin, 22, with the budding social media star showing off her own performing skills in a string of TikTok clips.

Erin, 22, went viral this week when a video emerged that showed her casually revealing Catherine was her mother while at the races.

In the clip, posted by INVADES, Erin was asked to reveal the most famous name in her phone contacts, as she casually shared that it was her mother Catherine, before calling her on FaceTime.

But while Erin has certainly inherited her mother’s looks, and her performing traits, she has also been carving out a career for herself in the art world.

After studying at the Manchester School of Art, Erin has been displaying her pᴀssions for painting.

One throwback video shows her heading to lectures with her classmates, while another shows her in the park with her pals creating an array of colourful pieces.

While Erin documents her life on social media, she divides her time between her mother’s homes in Los Angeles, where she moved in 2011, and London.

Other videos show her jetting abroad to Mexico for a boozy girls’ getaway, and others see her soaking up the sunshine with outings in some of LA’s biggest food H๏τspots. 

During her trip away, Erin can be seen relaxing in the sunshine in a ʙικιɴι,  

Her mother remains a fixture in a range of TikTok sketches, with one also featuring the star’s fiancé, American screenwriter and divorced father-of-three Jeff Ghutheim.

The video sees Catherine, Jeff, Erin and one of his daughters re-enact a famous scene from the 2004 film White Chicks, where the тιтular heroine, disguised as a woman, orders a vast array of food on a date. 

Another clip shows Erin and Catherine re-creating the awkward moment they ask for a bill in the restaurant. 

One video also sees Erin quip that ‘Ed Sheeran is at her table’ before turning around the camera to show her mum, in reference to their similarly auburn hair.

 Her most recent clip, which Erin shared in September, shows her singing along to the Bakar clip Hell n’Back with one of her pals.Catherine shares her daughter with stage manager Twig Clark.

The pair split in 2011 and Catherine was then briefly linked to Take That star Jason Orange before starting a relationship with broadcaster Adrian Chiles, which reportedly ended in December 2013.

It was then revealed in 2019 that she was engaged to American screenwriter and divorced father-of-three Jeff Ghutheim. 

Catherine relocated to the US when she landed a role in mockumentary The Office, and she’s currently starring in Fox’s sitcom Going Dutch, which premiered last month.

She rose to fame thanks to her acclaimed comedy sketch series The Catherine Tate Show, which received seven BAFTA nominations.

She also starred as comedian Donna Noble opposite David Tennant in Doctor Who, reprising her role for the show’s 60th Anniversary in 2023. 

Despite her comedy plaudits, Catherine previously shared that Erin was less impressed with one of her racier roles.

In 2016 she said, Erin, who was 12 at the time, was ‘very upset’ when she saw her posing naked and wrapped in a bed sheet in a poster for her new comedy, Do Not Disturb.

She also admitted that Erin hated it when she does the suggestive ‘twerking’ dance move at home.

She said of her new show: ‘It is a very adult comedy. When my daughter saw the poster she got very upset.

‘She is 12. It is that age when they are so prudish. If it were a seven-year-old or an 18-year-old it would be fine.

‘It is the same reaction as when I twerk. If you are seven or 18 they would be like “Oh that is so funny”. I do it because it is so gross.’

Appearing on ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show she then twerked after encouragement from the audience.

She added: ‘When I do this [twerking] to my daughter as a joke she gets really upset. So when she saw the poster for my new show she got really upset.

‘It is fairly demure as I am wrapped up in a sheet. Now I feel bad as when I do it at home my daughter cries.’
