Ryan Thomas stuns fans as he poses with daughter who is spitting image of soap mum

Ryan Thomas enjoyed some father-daughter bonding time with his eldest during a night out in Manchester.

The former Coronation Street actor, 38, and his 13-year-old daughter arrived in style to the event in his chrome and black Rolls Royce.

Ryan wore a simple pair of light grey chinos, a check shirt and white t-shirt to the Peter Street Kitchen party in the city.

While Scarlett looked like the spitting image of her mum Tina O'Brien as she wore her brunette locks down past her shoulder, showing off her natural sense of style with a white crop top, high-waisted trousers and Nike trainers.

The pair brushed shoulders with a number of celebs at the party, including Love Island's Jacques O'Neill, Ellie Brown, Mary Bedford and ex-Corrie star Lucy Fallon.

Unfortunately for Ryan, the night was soured slightly after his beloved Rolls Royce was also slapped with a parking ticket.

Ryan and Scarlett's mum Tina dated for six years after meeting on the set of Corrie, but are said to hardly speak anymore.

Despite their history, the couple continue to co-parent daughter Scarlett, who the parents celebrated landing a role on Waterloo Road in February.

The pair hit the headlines back in March after it was alleged they were embroiled in an ugly row at 1am in the morning.

Ryan - who is now married to Lucy Mecklenburgh, with whom he has two children with - and Tina first fell for each other in 2003, which came as a surprise to some as Tina had previously dated Bruno Langley, who played Ryan's on-screen brother Todd.

"It was five months later when I got together with Ryan and I was worried about it as he's a friend of Bruno," admitted Tina.

"But we worked hard to make sure there wasn't any tension between the three of us," she told The Mirror in 2007, revealing she got together with Ryan after kissing him on a night out.

Tina quit the soap the same year after finding out she was pregnant with daughter Scarlett.

She later said that she had been planning to return before Ryan talked her out of it.

"Maybe he knew he was going to end it and didn't want the hassle of us working together," she told new! magazine.

She did eventually rejoin Corrie in 2015, and Ryan departed the following year, heading Down Under to star in Neighbours.

Tina gave birth to daughter Scarlett Jacqueline Thomas in October 2008, and months later her relationship with Ryan hit the rocks.

The couple's split was said to be anything but amicable with Tina once claiming that Ryan dumped her just a week before their daughter Scarlett's first birthday because she 'just didn't do it for him anymore.'
