Emmerdale star Sammy Winward has left fans gobsmacked by sharing a photo of her ‘identical’ daughter
The actress, who played Katie Sugden on the ITV soap between 2001-2015, took to Instagram to share the snap.
The 34-year-old had fans thinking she had posted a photo of herself, as fans mistook a photo of her 15-year-old lookalike daughter Mia for the star.
Sammy’s photo saw Mia taking a selfie after getting her second earrings pierced and her first set of blonde highlights.
Mia was seen smiling into the camera as she showed off her transformation.
