My daughter isn't a 'nepo baby' - Ex Corrie actor defends daughter's decision to skip GCSEs
Ex-Corrie actor Ryan Thomas has defended his daughter’s decision to skip her GCSEs.
Ryan Thomas hit back at criticism online after his eldest child admitted on TikTok that she would always wonder what results she could have achieved.
She said: "I’m watching everyone get there [sic] GCSE results today wondering if I could’ve had good results but I will forever wonder."
Social media users took to the comments with one person saying: “Nepo baby didn't do them cause she thinks she's gonna be a big superstar.”
Ryan challenged people's opinions on social media and said: "Is it even anyone’s business or concern though?"
Scarlett is an aspiring actress and has already followed in her parents' footsteps, and made her TV debut in 2023 as schoolgirl Izzy in BBC drama Waterloo Road, acting alongside her real-life Uncle Adam Thomas and cousin Teddy.
Speaking about Scarlett, Ryan told The Sun in June: "Everyone thinks she gets a lift up from family, getting on Waterloo Road.
"But she worked damn hard to get that job, and people need to recognise that she’s a talented girl – she’s up against other people and she’s not getting a free ride.
"She has to go through the same process as everyone else – it was between her and somebody else. It wasn’t like, ‘This is a Thomas, she’s going to get this job'."
