Ryan Thomas’ teenage daughter took to TikTok on Friday to reveal that she did not sit her GCSEs.
Scarlett, 16, was clearly feeling reflective this week as teenagers around the country received their results.
Despite her young age, she has made it clear that she wants to follow in the footsteps of her famous parents into the entertainment industry and has a passion for both acting and singing.
Scarlett kicked off her acting career in 2023 with a role in Waterloo Road – one of several shows that made her uncle Adam Thomas, 37, a household name.
The rising star wrote: ‘Watching everyone get their GCSE results today wondering if I could’ve had good results but I will forever wonder.’
She added in the caption with two red heart emojis: ‘Well done everyone you all should be beyond proud whatever results you got [sic].’
