Brooke Warne says she is a ‘mini-me’ version of her late legendary cricketer dad Shane Warne.
The 26-year-old, who is the eldest daughter of the cricketer and his ex-wife Simone Callahan, said on the Tell Me More podcast she has picked up her father’s traits.
‘I think over the years I’m very much a mini Shane,’ she said.
‘The way we look, the way we act, our mannerisms, everything, we are very much alike.’
Brooke admitted she used to question why she wasn’t like her mother Simone Callahan, but is now ‘so proud’ to be a ‘mini-Shane.’

‘I used to be like, “why didn’t I get my mum’s gene” and I think over the years more and more as I have got to know my dad more and more and I learnt about myself, I was so proud I’m a mini-Shane,’ she added.
It comes after Brooke recently opened up about her struggles after her legendary father died in March last year.
She told Stellar Magazine that her family, including siblings Jackson and Summer and mother Simone Callahan, have pulled together.
‘As a family, we’ve always stuck together. We’ve always had each other’s backs. We’re going okay,’ she said.
‘The way we look, the way we act, our mannerisms, everything, we are very much alike,’ Brooke said. Pictured Shane Warne in 2019
‘Obviously, I miss him and think about him every second – that’s never going to change,’ Brooke continued.
‘I think we just learn to accept life, that this is our life now, and do the best by him and make him proud… and be positive and enjoy everything. You don’t know what’s going to happen.’
Shane died in March 2022 of a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Thailand.
