A former head teacher has warned of the risks of students not securing GCSEs after Scarlett Thomas revealed she did not sit the exams as she follows her parents into the acting world.
The 16-year-old, who is the daughter of Coronation Street stars Ryan Thomas, 41, and Tina Thomas, 42, looks destined for a future in acting and has already starred in Waterloo Road and The Nation's Favourite Disney Song.
She made her on-screen debut in the revival of Waterloo Road in 2023, working alongside her uncle Adam Thomas and his son Teddy Thomas, who play Donte Charles and Tommy Charles in the show.
But last week, the rising star - who has snapped back at claims she is a 'nepo baby' - raised eyebrows when she admitted she had not sat her GCSEs as schoolchildren around the country opened up their results.
The actress has made it clear that she wants to follow in the footsteps of her famous parents into the entertainment industry and has a passion for acting and singing.
