Willow Owen, one of Take That hitmaker Mark Owen 's three daughters, has now taken to TikTok to show off her impressive vocal talent.
The flame-haired teen, whose mum is Emma Ferguson, captioned her latest music clip as "something different."
She was seen belting out a tune as she played the keyboard, leaving one fan to remark she had the "voice of an angel."
Another follower wrote: "Such a beautiful voice Willow I teared up I'll not lie.
"Absolutely on point kiddo."
A third then posted: "Definitely got your dad's talent, beautiful voice."
The Sun previously told how Willow has been spending time working on music in Los Angeles, where the family live, and has posted a handful of tracks on music-hosting website SoundCloud.
Proud dad Mark then shared a link to Willow's latest song Back To Me Now on Instagram.
The track shows off her ethereal vocals and it sounds surprisingly polished for someone so young.
Three years ago, Willow and her younger sister Fox, now 12, featured as guest backing singers on Mark's 2022 solo album Land Of Dreams.

Speaking to Bizarre at the time, Mark said: 'They are into all their own music but actually they're aware and interested in this, which is nice.
'The girls are singing on the record, doing backing vocals with two girls who have been performing with Foo Fighters, so that was exciting and a nice experience for them.'
As well as performing her music, Willow often lip syncs to a variety of videos on her page.
FAMILY AFFAIR
Actress Emma and Rule The World singer Mark met in 2004, and were engaged in 2006 after being together for two years.
What is a Nepo Baby?
A 'nepo baby' is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
The term 'nepo' is short for 'nepotism', which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
Key Characteristics:
Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family's established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed.
They got married in November 2009 in a church in Cawdor, Scotland.
The pair also have three children together.
They have a son, Elwood Jack, born in 2006, and two daughters, Willow Rose, born in 2008, and Fox India, born in 2012.
The Take That boys have often brought their children to tours and rehearsals and Mark and Gary have children roughly the same age.

Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he ‘wants no contact'
CRUZ Beckham has shared a throwback family snap amid the ongoing family feud between the Beckhams. The youngest son of David and Victoria appeared to be looking back at happier times in the family as he shared an old snap of the three brothers with their mum after she had just given birth to daughter, Harper Seven. 5 5 The snap, believed to be taken in 2011, showed the three boys beaming down the lens of the camera as they snuggled up to their mum. Victoria tenderly held her daughter in the heartwarming picture. Cruz's decision to upload the image is very telling amid ongoing tension in the family after Brooklyn decided he no longer wanted contact with his famous family. Cruz did not add any captions nor did he tag his family members in the snap. Earlier today, it was revealed that Brooklyn is refusing to reply to messages amid the bitter feud, according to reports. The sourced said: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, "this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father." The Sun has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment. England legend David will be knighted as part of King Charles ' birthday honours. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud It's a title he has coveted for some time and it means Victoria will be come Lady Beckham. David was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011 after helping to secure the London 2012 Olympics. But he was blocked from getting the title by the Honours Committee after becoming caught up in a tax avoidance scheme, along with many other stars. His finances were cleared by the taxman at least four years ago - paving the way for him to finally get the coveted honour. Just weeks ago we revealed how David and Victoria feel there might be no way to reconcile with their eldest child. Brooklyn, who was a no-show at David's star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last month, shared a video of himself and Nicola riding on his motorbike and wrote: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' Those close to the Beckhams said the message seemed 'very pointed'. A source added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. 5 "It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.' Tensions became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria, 51, on Mother's Day. He then failed to show at any of David's 50th birthday parties. His mum and dad have continued to acknowledge him on social media, but pals of Brooklyn and Nicola suggested that was for show. The Sun revealed that the couple recently had dinner in California with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were 'very empathetic'. 5

Tony and Stavros, who have been engaged since October 2023, made it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross (formerly the Limelight nightclub), before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the glitzy reception. And no expense was spared for their special day as they treated their guests to flamboyant Greek dancing, drag acts and even gospel music. The wedding attracted some big names too including the likes of Gemma Collins , Davina McCall, Coronation Street 's Claire Sweeney and Kelly Osbourne .

Tony was also surprised with an unlikely wedding cake as he danced the night away with his new husband. In snaps shared by Tony's pals on social media, it was revealed that the wedding cake was far from an understated affair, with each layer boasting letters which spelt out the word 'c**t.' Another snap showed the pair flaunting their best dance moves at the reception after exchanging their vows. Following the ceremony, Tony also took to the stage alongside his new husband to thank the guests in attendance, with the stunning venue decorated with white roses for the occasion. For his special day, Tony was among the first to arrive at the chapel and was joined by singer Boy George as he prepared to exchange vows with his partner Stavros. The renowned music star, real name Tony Marnach, cut a very dapper figure in an all-black suit featuring a silver brooch. Stavros arrived not long after Tony, and opted for an all-white look, which was made up of a blazer, waistcoat and quirky shorts. Davina turned heads in a bright orange mini dress as she arrived to the chapel holding hands with her partner Michael Douglas. Kelly Osbourne opted for a black sleeveless dress while her locks were styled into a sleek bun for the day. Others in attendance included EastEnders stars Patsy Palmer and Jessie Wallace and fellow actress Jaime Winstone.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal to become new face of Sky in her first job since having baby Palma
FORMER Corrie star Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. 3 3 The deal is Michelle 's first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma in March. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source said: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. 'She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. ' Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. 'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' The actress, 38, found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street after joining the ITV soap in 2007. But it was after she left in 2014 her career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl from 2016 to 2020, playing Georgie Lane. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix' s Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once — which racked up more than 100 million views globally. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan take newborn baby Palma to another luxury hotel as they stay in £21k a night suite The show became the streaming service's most watched series of 2024, beating Bridgerton and Baby Reindeer. Michelle also stars in the BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. The Sun revealed last year that the Manchester-born actress, who is married to Heart radio DJ and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, 38, was sitting on a £3.6million fortune. Michelle admitted leaving Coronation Street after six years had pushed her onwards to succeed with her career. She said: 'For me, it was a massive learning platform. "I took a long, long time to decide to leave. It was very hard. 'And then, when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back, I thought I would never work again. 'My security was ripped away, which made me push forward and work harder.'
