RYAN Thomas has surprised his daughter Scarlett with a generous gift to advance her career in the entertainment industry.
The Coronation Street actor, 41, filmed the moment he handed over the pricey present for the youngster’s 17th birthday.
Breaking down in tears, Scarlett sobbed as the Thomas brother revealed the teen’s brand-new music recording studio.
Writing alongside the clip, Ryan said, “I wanted to do something special for Scarlett’s birthday this year.
“Her passion is singing and wanted her to have a place to switch off focus on what she loves so I converted a room in the basement into a home studio.
“It was all a big surprise the payoff seeing her face made it all worth it.”
In the video Ryan is seen screaming “fire in the booth” as the family turn on some tunes on the expensive speaker system.
“My favourite part of the studio is the artwork by the genius @jakehall he asked me for 5 key memories,” Ryan added.
“5 words describing scarlett & 5 words her describing her dad.
“Everytime I look at it i see some something different it’s personal to me & my daughter it tells a story of our life we’ve had to together.
“I’m truly grateful brother thank you so much.”
His famous friends and followers flocked to the Instagram post’s comments after Ryan shared the grand gesture with his 1.3million fans.
Rochelle Humes commented, “Oh this is just magic.”
While Jess Wright added, “This is amazing.”
Scarlett herself also replied in the comments, saying, “The most special birthday Thankyou dad.”
One follower penned, “What a gift … can’t wait to see Scarlett making music in here …
“She has an amazing voice! Well done Ryan and Lucy … she will pay you back when she is churning out gold discs.”
Another said, “So Amazing for her , she is overwhelmed️ and her Bestie Summer bird experiencing this with her.”
Waterloo Road star Scarlett’s real-life parents are soap stars who met while working on Coronation Street.
Her dad Ryan portrayed Jason Grimshaw on the cobbles for 16 years, while mum Tina O’Brien, 42, played Sarah Platt.
Ryan and Tina were together for six years before splitting in 2009.
Tina penned her own tribute for Scarlett’s birthday on Instagram, writing, “Happy birthday to my little chicken, my darling girl.
“I still remember putting the clocks back before heading to bed, heavy, pregnant, way overdue, wondering if tonight would be the night.
“And when it was… the moment I met you, it felt like I’d already known you forever.
“You’ve brought laughter, light, and magic into my life every single day since. I’m so proud of the incredible young woman you’re becoming.”
Strictly fans furious after working out how to ‘predict’ show winner – and it could ‘spoil’ it forever liennhi
STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers have suggested AI could ruin their chance of ever enjoying the show again.
Fans of the BBC reality dancing series have admitted being too scared to Google the show in case AI spoils any news or results.
One viewer shared a screenshot from a Google AI result that suggested sports pundit and former England footballer, Kate Carney, had made it to the final of this year’s competition.
While that above result was ultimately incorrect as the show was only halfway through, other fans moaned that they had also had Strictly spoilt for them thanks to the AI results or given them the wrong answers.
“Trying to find out which footballer has gone the furthest into the show and Google’s AI dropped this bombshell,” the original poster wrote.
Added a second person: “Lol! I had similar recently when I was being nosey and looking up Jimmy’s wife. Googles AI snippets confidently told me it was Lauren.”
And a third added: “Just goes to show how AI can misinterpret available information and get the conclusion wrong.”
The AI misinformation comes just days after the results of Icons Week were leaked hours early last week.
Like previous seasons the Sunday night results show, although presented as live, is filmed on Saturday night after the main live BBC One show.
The money-saving move means that for years the results have leaked online – and this year is no exception.
The contestants in the bottom two for Icons Week – which saw the likes of Cher, Cheryl and Harry Styles tributes take to the stage – and therefore the dance-off were revealed early.
The judges votes – with Anton Du Beke having the casting decision – also came to light early.
His position followed the rule change, which now sees head judge Shirley Ballas sharing the power to decide who goes home with her fellow judges.
Results leaking were not the only shocks to come from this year’s show.
Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman got teary as they opened the first show since announcing they were quitting at the end of the series.
Tess and Claudia announced their plans to step down from hosting Strictly Come Dancing on Thursday.
The two made history as primetime television’s first female presenting duo when they paired up to co-host the show in 2014.
Both had been part of Strictly since 2004, Tess hosting the main show with Bruce Forsyth and Claudia on spin-off It Takes Two.
