Home and Away star Lynne McGranger and daughter Clancy look the mirror image of each other in loved up photos
Lynne McGranger's daughter Clancy McWaters is the spitting image of her.
The Home and Away star, 72, who shares the 29-year-old with partner Paul McWaters, frequently shares photos of the yoga instructor to her Instagram.
And followers are often left stunned by the similarities between them as the mother-daughter duo share the same sharp features, warm smile and bright blue eyes.
Clancy is also drawn to the arts and loves expressing her creative side, as Lynne has previously said her daughter enjoys singing, dancing and acting.
'She is a triple threat, she sings, dances and acts, at the moment she seems to be leaning toward more singing and dancing,' Lynne told Sydney Confidential in 2015.

'We were surprised when Clancy announced at the age of 15 or 16 that she wanted to study drama. But we are very happy for her and support all the way.'
Clancy, who currently teaches yoga in Sydney, has even found her way onto the set of Home and Away as an extra on occasion.
According to Clancy's LinkedIn, she's also appeared on a number of other classic Australian shows as an extra, including Packed To The Rafters.
The blonde has also starred in a number of commercials for KFC, McDonald's, Cancer Council and Tourism Australia.
Lynne made the announcement of Clancy's engagement to boyfriend Luke Dickson via Instagram in October 2022.
'So happy for our beautiful daughter and her amazing fiancé on their engagement. We love you both so much,' Lynne captioned her post.
Lynne has played Irene Roberts on Home and Away since 1993, after taking over the role from actress Jacquy Phillips.
Irene Roberts was initially written as a recurring character but was promoted to regular cast shortly after Lynne joined.
The veteran actress is one of the longest-serving stars on the Australian soap.
Now, after three decades in the role, Lynne is leaving the iconic Aussie show behind. Her final scenes were filmed in March.
Sources recently claimed Lynne will use her long-awaited retirement from the series to finally tie the knot with her long-term partner Paul.
The couple have been together for more than 40 years.
A close friend of the soap star told New Idea a walk down the aisle could be on the cards now Lynne isn't tied down by filming commitments for Home and Away.
'Lynne used to joke that she and Paul would tie the knot when their daughter Clancy go married. She thought the idea of a double wedding was hilarious,' they said.
'But Clancy got married in August 2023 and her parents stubbornly kept their de facto status.'
'All that could change now Lynne has more time on her hands. Watch this space.'
While Lynne has kept her relationship out of the public eye, she revealed to New Idea back in 2014, how love blossomed between the couple.
'I invited him round to my place in 1984 [after having dinner together] and he never went home. Still hasn't,' she said at the time.
Lynne added while she was still waiting for Paul to propose, she was in no rush to tie the knot.
'We always joke and say we'll do it when we want some white goods, and I'm here to tell you now, we need a new washing machine,' she joked.

Asher Keddie's artist husband Vincent Fantauzzo reveals he was forced to lie to her to hide his childhood abuse
Asher Keddie's husband has opened up on the childhood abuse that he kept hidden for years - even from his wife. Vincent Fantauzzo told the No Filter podcast this week that before sharing his traumatic background in his book new, Unveiled, which was released in March, he had not told anyone in his life what he had been through. The artist says he was forced to lie to 'hide his shame' as the dark memories of suffering sexual abuse as a child were too much to bear. 'I was talking to a friend yesterday and who had just read the book, and he said. "you know you could've talked to me, like we talk about everything always". Like he was offended - but he wasn't' Vincent said. 'He's a very nice person, but he thought, "you could've spoken to me about this". I didn't speak to anyone at all at all' he continued. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm pretty good at lying when it comes to shame.' Vincent said that Asher 'picks up his lies a mile away' but when it came to the abuse, he was able to hide it. 'I couldn't tell anyone at all. It's funny thing about abuse, I can't even talk about it in detail' he added. Vincent said that he has been 'stuck with a reaction' to what happened to him that affects him every day. Speaking to The Age earlier this year, Vincent said that he didn't want to hide anymore but admitted it was a challenge. 'It was extremely difficult – like, really, difficult to actually not sweep the past under the rug any more, and face things that happened and things that I'd never spoken about to anyone, even Asher' he said. In the process of writing his book, he found a way to raise the topic with his wife - and it improved their marriage. 'It helped her understand my reactions to things generally … [like if] there was something about children on the news, she'd wonder why that impacted me so much. Everything started to explain itself' he said. Asher recently offered a rare insight into her 11 year marriage while discussing how the couple met. The actress, 50, revealed in Marie Claire that met Vincent after her agent convinced her to let him paint a portrait of her. She explained that while he was painting her, Vincent would look over the camera and they locked eyes. 'He still does that eyes above the camera; he's very charming,' she said. Asher continued to say the couple love parenting their children together as it gives them 'the feeling of togetherness'. 'What we enjoy most – and I know we both feel like this – is sharing the parenting. I love that feeling of togetherness we have in parenting them and being part of their lives,' she added. She also shared a glimpse into the couple's home life with their son, Valentino, nine, and Vincent's 14-year-old son Luca, from a previous marriage. 'I take care of stuff when I come home... but we have different roles within the house and as long as the kids come first, everything falls into place,' she added. Asher and Vincent tied the knot in the beachside ceremony on Fiji's Turtle Island in April 2014. The couple went on to welcome son Valentino in March 2015. Vincent's famous works include striking portraits of Julia Gillard, Baz Luhrmann and Heath Ledger, with his work highlighting the depth of Ledger's mental struggle was revealed one month after his death in 2008. The artist has a hotel in Brisbane named after him, which is filled with his paintings. Vincent, a four-time Archibald People's Choice prize winning artist, likes to spend time with his subjects before painting them, adding a personal relationship to his creative idea before putting his brush on the canvas.

Shoppers race to buy never-before seen Cadbury Dairy Milk flavour that's dropped in B&M stores
CHOCOLATE lovers are going wild for a brand new Cadbury bar that's just landed on UK shelves and it's only available at B&M. The limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake has hit the bargain retailer, and fans are already scrambling to get their hands on it. The sweet treat, which hails all the way from Australia, has never been seen in the UK before. It's part of B&M's range of imported Aussie snacks and is already causing a stir online. Foodie Instagram page @treatsinstore shared the find with followers, posting: 'OUT NOW Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake (Australia 🇦🇺) £2.99. Available in the UK at @bm_stores'. The flavour combines Cadbury's signature Dairy Milk chocolate with caramelised white chocolate, a gooey caramel-flavoured crème centre and crunchy choc biscuit pieces – inspired by the iconic Aussie caramel mudcake. One shopper raved: 'Looks so good." While another pointed out what a great bargain it was, saying: 'I bought two of them for £7 from an online store!' Another fan added: 'These are so nice." But you'll have to be quick – the Caramel Mudcake bar is exclusive to B&M and only available in-store, so there's no option to order online. To track one down, choc fans will need to head to their local B&M. You can use the store locator on the retailer's website to find your nearest branch. We couldn't find the Caramel Mudcake bar stocked anywhere else in the UK, making it one of the rarest Cadbury imports around right now. It follows the success of another Aussie gem B&M brought in earlier this year – the Dairy Milk Rounds. Shoppers were thrilled when the bite-sized chocs made their way onto shelves, with one fan posting their find on Facebook and others piling into the comments desperate to bag a box. One person wrote: 'Love those,' while another added: 'Yes please… yummy.' Like the new Mudcake flavour, Dairy Milk Rounds were also store-only, with no delivery option available through B&M. The Sun has contacted Cadbury to confirm whether the bar will remain exclusive to B&M. Compare prices As always, it pays to shop smart. Before snapping up novelty snacks, check comparison sites like or to make sure you're getting the best deal. Some imported treats can be cheaper from other retailers or online sweet shops – but beware of delivery fees. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. Cadbury summer finds The Caramel Mudcake launch comes just days after Cadbury unveiled its new Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars and the Iced Latte flavour – both wrapped in cold-activated packaging that transforms in the fridge. Earlier this month, fans also spotted Dairy Milk Balls in stores, with many comparing them to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters from the '90s. Just a few weeks ago the chocolate giant rolled out its limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, combining flaky Twirl layers with silky white chocolate. From iced latte Twirls to chocolate-coffee collabs with Kenco, it looks like summer 2025 is shaping up to be a choc-filled paradise for sweet-toothed Brits. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
