Taking to Instagram, Kelvin celebrated his daughter Marnie joining the cast of Hollyoaks.

The youngster plays Lexi Roscoe, the biological daughter of Lindsey Roscoe and Freddie Roscoe.

Lexi is also the adoptive daughter of Mercedes McQueen and Joe Roscoe.

Acting runs in the family in real life, as Marnie’s mother is actress Liz Fletcher, who has also appeared in Hollyoaks.

Proud dad Kelvin, 40, shared with his Instagram followers: “Marnie made her TV acting debut last week as she joined the fantastic cast of @hollyoaksofficial.

“I was her ‘chaperone’ and I can’t begin to tell you the emotions I felt standing there watching. 

“To be standing behind the camera, watching my 7-year-old daughter act for the first time in front of the camera, brought so many feelings back to when I first started acting and it felt so surreal to be there witnessing it all again but this time, as a parent. 

“My heart was beaming with pride and it was truly one of the very few times I’ve felt completely fulfilled.

“To see your child find their passion and chase that feeling is one of the most beautiful and inspiring things to behold. 

“What a moment for me and more importantly, what a moment for her. Well done darling.

“PS The same week she got that casting, I didn’t get two!”
