Katherine Ryan bought her daughter 17-year-old Violet a sparkly £30k car for her birthday on Thursday as the teen proudly posed in front of her new wheels.

The comedian, 42, took to Instagram to share a snap of her with the Ford Puma which had been wrapped in a specialist purple glittery shade.

Katherine penned in the caption: 'The Favourite is 17. 'I've been proud of you, Violet since before you could roll over and look at you now! Singing, acting, dancing, writing, working, LIVING LAUGHING LOVING slaying.

'More charming and tougher and smarter and better than I am in every way HALLELUJAH (car wrap b6 @magic_automotive is actually a different colour but we didn't want to show it until the police reports come rolling in).

'YOU TRY DRIVING IN PLATFORMS. Love you so much xx'
