EXCLUSIVE Waterloo Road star Hattie Dynevor reveals her sister Phoebe is her 'biggest inspiration' - as she lifts lid on run in with HUGE Hollywood star
The Waterloo Road star, 21, is the younger sister of Bridgerton star Phoebe, 30, and the daughter of Coronation Street actress Sally, 61.
She has followed in the footsteps of her family in recent years, making her own venture into acting playing Libby Guthrie in BBC 's Waterloo Road.
And speaking to MailOnline at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on Saturday, Hattie admitted that her big sister is her 'biggest inspiration'.
'They [her mum and sister] have been so supportive, we're a very supportive family,' she said. 'We're all really close as well which is so lovely. My sister is obviously my biggest inspiration and we went to Paris Fashion Week together.

'That was amazing. It was so incredible just to watch her, and yeah we had the best time.'
Hattie went on to dish the dirt on meeting a huge Hollywood star while at Paris Fashion Week.
'I met Emma Stone in Paris and she was so lovely,' she said. 'It was amazing to meet her.'
Hattie was born in the Trafford area of Greater Manchester and arrived into a home focused on the small screen, giving her the perfect platform to crack the industry.
She entered the public consciousness with an appearance on Lorraine alongside her father Tim in 2019 and an interview with OK! sitting beside her mother Sally, before landing her breakthrough role in Waterloo Road in April 2023.
She is well known for her role as history teacher Neil Guthrie's daughter in the classic show, entering the fray two years ago for the 13th series.
Hattie made such an impact on the school drama that she returned to play Libby in the 14th season last year.
The star also made an appearance in an episode of the ITV series Drama Queens alongside her mother Sally.
She has been making waves at various TV galas of late, oozing sophistication in the pink lace corseted dress at the RTS event in Manchester in November.
Waterloo Road, about a troubled comprehensive school set in Rochdale, Lancashire, helped put her sister Phoebe, 30, on the map 16 years ago when she secured the role of Siobhan Mailey.
She followed up the breakthrough with a supporting role in BBC drama Prisoners' Wives as the character Lauren, who is the daughter of a gangster.
Older sister Phoebe also impressed as Martha Cratchit in BBC series Dickensian and played Clare, Josh's Irish fiancee, in the comedy show Younger in 2017.
But her career-defining moment came in 2020 when she was cast as Daphne Bridgerton, the lead character in the opening season of Netflix's period drama Bridgerton.
She appeared again, albeit in a much smaller role, in season two, but was completely absent in season three - which she and fans lamented.
This triggered a wave of opportunities in the world of film and Phoebe played ceramicist Clarice Cliff in The Colour Room in 2021 before starring in the Bank Of Dave in 2023 alongside Rory Kinnear.
She then acted opposite Alden Ehrenreich in the thriller Fair Play which received widespread critical acclaim.
These roles have led her to hobnob with the great and the good of American show-business and Phoebe, who recently covered Porter magazine, made a fashion-forward appearance at a screening for her new film Inheritance in New York City.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins... and says Dad's Army's Private Godfrey could have done better than these recruits
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins - Channel 4 Rating: At ease, you men... dancer Louie Spence has declared that, in the event of World War III breaking out, he's ready to serve. 'I might just jump at it,' he bragged, on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. 'I think I'd be in the Home Guard. We'd have a gay Dad's Army, darling. Honestly, they wouldn't want to mess with the gays.' Shortly after that, he botched a hostage rescue exercise by hurling a grenade into a building where two civilians were waiting to be saved. Private Godfrey could have done a better job. The show launched on Sunday night — small wonder that by yesterday's second episode, Louie had already bailed out and gone home. His big idea might not save the country from invasion, but surely the BBC would love an LGBT remake of its most successful comedy. Call it Fab Army. Previous series of Celebrity SAS have been camp enough to merit their own float at a Pride festival. The ex-special forces veterans in charge of each batch of hapless volunteers couldn't help standing in a row with their thumbs tucked into their belts, like a Village People tribute act. Former U.S. Marine Rudy Reyes was caught on camera, stripped to the waist and admiring his muscles in the mirror. I worried that the next ordeal the celebs faced would be a choreographed Full Monty striptease, to a soundtrack of You Can Keep Your Hat On. This time, the NCOs are less flamboyant but also less aggressive. They snarl, swear and belittle contestants for every mistake, but so far we've seen no 'beastings' — the punishing bouts of intensive exercise that end only when recruits pass out from exhaustion. And these days, the mock interrogations are more like therapy sessions. They still begin with victims propelled into half-lit cells with bags over their heads, but the questions are sympathetic, even kindly. 'Don't be so nervous,' chief instructor Mark 'Billy' Billingham told Michaella McCollum, one of the 'Peru Two' jailed in South America for drug smuggling. They coaxed the story from her, beginning with teenage drug abuse in Northern Ireland, then working as a courier for an organised crime gang in Spain, followed by arrest at the airport in Lima. 'So yeah, I ended up spending three years in prison,' she said. Billy asked the questions expected of all good psychotherapists: 'How did that feel? Do you wanna talk about it?' Back in the dorm, she was beaming: 'I feel a bit better after that chat with them, really positive.' The physical challenges involve lots of running up mountains with rucksacks, as ever, but I can't help feeling that a lot of the tears and terror are manufactured for the cameras. One test saw the celebs hanging from a zipwire over an abyss. If that same set-up were an attraction at a theme park, people would queue for hours to have a go.

The Chase star Mark Labbett apologises for his 'bursts of anger' on Celebs Go Dating - as quizzer admits he 'got quite grumpy on set'
The Chase's Mark Labbett has apologised for experiencing 'bursts of anger' while looking for love on Celebs Go Dating. The professional quizzer, 59, admitted that the filming schedule of reality TV was drastically different from what he is used to and as a result, he lost his temper on set. He told The Mirror: 'I'm used to being in a pre-planned environment on The Chase, where timings are strict, but reality TV can go on for longer and the days end up ending later than you think.' Mark, who has publicly stated that he believes he is on the autism spectrum but not been diagnosed, said his mental health suffered on the show. The star added: 'For me, the one thing I found was that you need a social battery recharge, and as someone on the spectrum, that's something I really need.' He also revealed that his suspected neurodivergence has impacted his dating life as he finds people hard to read. Mark now plans to take the lessons he has learned from filming the show into any future contracts to ensure he does not act in an unbecoming manner again. He said: 'I got quite grumpy on set. I did apologise to everyone, but, in the future, I'd definitely have it in my contract that I need breaks to have a nap and recharge.' As well as admitting that he got moody on set, he also explained that he was impacted by his diabetes. He revealed: 'I wear a glucose monitor and on one of the nights, my glucose level went off the scale.' This prompted his co-star Kerry Katona to joke: 'And Mark went off the scale too!' Even though the show was a 'learning curve' for the star, he said that he is still looking forward to its release. Mark's grumpiness was not the only issue he faced in his latest attempt to find love and he also had a health scare on the set of Celebs Go Dating, which temporarily halted filming. The presenter suffered what's known as a hypoglycaemic attack - an event caused by a person's blood sugar dropping too low, resulting in symptoms like shaking and sweating. Mark (pictured on the far left) said that even though Celebs Go Dating was a 'learning curve' for the star, he is looking forward to its release Recalling the moment, Mark said: 'One night, I had a hypoglycaemic attack. 'I might have been a bit grumpy that night. I apologised to everyone after.' Mark was previously in a relationship with TV presenter Hayley Palmer, 43, but the pair split a week after their first anniversary last year. It was Mark who decided to leave the relationship, blindsiding Hayley when he ended their romance over the phone. The Chase presenter later put his reasoning down to their 16-year age gap and stressed to The Sun that he was 'very lucky' to have dated her for a year. Prior to this, he was married to Katie Lawrence, 32, who was 27 years his junior. The couple were together for seven years and share one child, a son, but parted ways in 2020, with their age gap once again cited as a contributing factor in the split.
