Lisa Faulkner has issued a stark warning to her daughter who is keen to follow in her acting footsteps.
The actress and presenter, 53, adopted her now-20-year-old daughter Billie at 17 months old with her ex-husband Chris Coghill.
Lisa is known for her roles on shows such as Holby City, Brookside and, more recently, Harlan Coben’s Netflix series Missing You.
Now her daughter Billie is reportedly interested in taking up her own showbiz career, but Lisa has warned her against becoming an actor.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, Lisa said: ‘I’m like: ‘No, keep away from the acting.’
‘I think it can be a great thing, though it’s very up and down. But if she wants to do it, she can.’

Lisa recently gushed about her husband John Torode, calling him her ‘best mate’ as he champions the actress’ return to the theatre.
The Holby City star, 53, is set to take the stage as single mother Allie in Single White Female, which is based on the 1990s psychological thriller film and bestselling book by John Lutz.
She will be acting alongside Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh, 49, who will play obsessed roommate Hedy.
Lisa spoke of her wholesome partnership with the chef, 60, and said he has been running lines with her.
She told Hello! magazine: ‘He’s my husband and my best mate. We really do support each other and hold each other’s hands through everything. He’s such a gentleman and so kind.
‘He’s been running through the lines with me. He’s so happy for me.’
The controversial TV chef also spoke lovingly about his wife, telling the Mirror: “[Lisa is] my rock, my best friend, my love, my wife, a Wonder Women. Nothing else needs to be said.’
Also supporting Lisa’s new career move are her best friends Angela Griffin and Amanda Holden.

Lisa said: ‘They’ve got a separate WhatsApp group, because I’ve told them I don’t want to know when they’re coming.’
The actress said spotting her friends in the crowd would throw her off and will only check if they’re there after the performance.
Single White Female follows a recently divorced mother who takes in a lodger to help ends meet.
But as they grow closer, the roommate Hedy develops a sinister obsession and their arrangement begins to spiral out of control.
It comes after Lisa and John’s ITV cookery show Weekend Kitchen is reportedly set to axed, despite the broadcaster’s vow to stand by the sacked MasterChef star.
The chef was fired by the BBC earlier this year after an allegation emerged he had used ‘extremely offensive racist language in 2018’, which he claims to have ‘no recollection of’.
His exit came just weeks after co-star Gregg Wallace, 61, also got the boot over a series of allegations about his sexualised on-set behaviour.
But despite ITV previously throwing their support behind John, the prospect of their show, which debuted the same year as his wedding, continuing is said to be unlikely.
John has been married to Lisa since 2019 after meeting on Celebrity MasterChef,
