Jamie Carragher shares snaps of his daughter's 21st fancy dress party as Liverpool legend steals the show with hilarious costume
Jamie Carragher pulled out all the stops for his daughter Mia's 21st birthday party - including dressing up as none other than Willy Wonka. The Liverpool legend ditched his usual pundit attire for a purple velvet coat, top hat, and oversized bow tie as he channeled the eccentric chocolate factory owner in celebration of his daughter's milestone. Mia, who was dressed as Poison Ivy, marked her birthday in style with a lavish party surrounded by family and friends. But it was her dad's eye-catching outfit that stole the show on social media. Carragher, 46, posed proudly in full costume, sharing photos and videos from the party on Instagram. He wrote: 'What a great night for Mia's 21st birthday fancy dress party,' alongside a heart, dancing and beers emojis. Adding to the fun, Carragher fully embraced his Willy Wonka persona by taking the mic and performing Pure Imagination, the iconic song from the classic 1971 film. Meanwhile, Jamie's son, James Carragher, who plays professionally for Wigan, also got into the fancy dress spirit by channelling a Peaky Blinders vibe by dressing in a sharp three-piece suit, flat cap, and pocket watch. Mia is an actress, having graduated from Tring Park Performing Arts School in 2022. When she was younger, she trained as a dancer at Rare Studios in Liverpool. She has appeared in multiple movies, including: 'One Night in Istanbul', 'The Gathering' and 'Watering Hole'. Mia boasts over 89,300 followers on Instagram, where she shares photos of her travels, lifestyle and career ventures. Meanwhile, she posts funny videos and vlogs on her Tiktok account, where she has amassed a further 59,200 fans. Last month she made a brief appearance while her dad was on punditry duty for CBS' Champions League coverage. After his phone run live on air, Carragher answered: 'Hiya babe, are you okay? I'm on TV.' Micah Richards joked: 'Well, there goes the Emmy,' before Carragher explained that Mia was simply asking where her mother was. He told his daughter: 'I don't know, I'm in London, babe. I'm in the studio.' Scott then asked Carragher if Mia would like to go on loud speaker, to which she appeared to oblige. After being informed by Richards then she had interrupted the live show, Mia's opening words were: 'Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't have a clue [he was on live TV].' Carragher then hilariously asked: 'Are you not putting the dodgy box on?' as CBS's coverage is only available in the United States. Host Kate Scott then took her opportunity to ask Mia: 'I am so interested, your dad can be a little bit spiky on TV, what's he like at home?' to which Mia replied: 'He is lovely.' After her response was met by a crescendo of awws in the studio, the Liverpool legend said: 'I love you more than anything my girl. What a star.' He added: 'There is nothing this girl can ever do wrong. I can't ever shout at her, I find it hard to shout at you don't I?'
