ITV Coronation Street newcomer is younger sister of famous Britain's Got Talent star
Coronation Street fans were introduced to Mick and Lou's two daughters, one of which is played by actress Molly Kilduff, who already has a well known sister.
Coronation Street welcomed some new faces this week with viewers being introduced to fresh characters in the Michaelis family as Mick and Lou's daughters Joanie and Shanie Michaelis take to the screen, portrayed by young actresses Savanna Pennington and Molly Kilduff.
However, Molly is no stranger to the spotlight as she already has a famous face in her family who is known to be a recognisable Britain's Got Talent golden buzzer star. Molly, who is only five years old, made her debut on the Cobbles during Monday night's drama-filled episode which saw the girl's on-screen mum Lou announce they'll need to make a getaway shortly.
However, the plot took an unexpected turn when Tim rushed to A&E after spotting an injury on Lou's head. Spoilers last week suggested that Lou runs away to escape her rocky relationship, leaving her kids in Tim's care, which continues this week with the youngsters still attending to Tim.
Meanwhile, off-screen Molly's famous sister has taken to social media to cheer on her younger sibling as she expressed how proud she is of her.
Britain's Got Talent 2020 runner up and golden buzzer act Jade Kilduff is the older sister of the young Coronation Street star.
The 24 year old shot to fame on the ITV talent competition with her sign language choir when she was 18, where she appeared with her four-year-old disabled brother Christian, who has a brain injury called HIE among with other neurological conditions which affect his speech.
Jade taught her younger brother Christian how to communicate through sign language after being told he would never be able to converse with anyone.
However, after 18 months of trying to prove this statement wrong, Jade eventually taught her little brother how to sign back.
Their heartwarming 'Sign Along With Us' act involved a choir of talented singers belting out inspiring songs while Jade, Christian and others used sign language to sing along with the lyrics in their own way.
Devoted big sister Molly, who revealed earlier this year that she is expecting a child with her fiancée, gushed over little Molly in a sweet social media post.
Taking to Instagram to address her younger sister's big acting gig, she shared a snap outside Weatherfield's renowned pub, the Rovers.
In the caption, she wrote: "Could not be prouder of you Molly Moo ! ! Such a beautiful, funny, confident, talented and above all kind little girl. Shining bright on those cobbles like the star you are."
Fans have also been sending heaps of praise upon the new Corrie actress with one writing: "Ohh she's adorable. Well done little superstar!"
Another chimed in: "She's a little superstar."
Molly's on-screen parents, Mick and Lou, made their entrance on the soap earlier this year but they're set for a short stay.
It was announced in March that the couple would be exiting the show following the wrap up of a significant storyline this summer.
