The rising star first appeared on TV screens back in 2023 in BBC drama Waterloo Road playing Izzy – the daughter of her real life uncle Adam Thomas.

Her famous family connections don’t end there, as her father is Corrie star Ryan and her mother is his former co-star Tina, while her other uncle is Love Island’s Scott Thomas.

However despite her blossoming acting career, her dad Ryan previously insisted his  ‘nepo baby’ daughter is ‘not getting a free ride’.

As well as making waves on screens she also has a prominent social media presence too and is predicted to earn up to £2million before her 18th birthday.

One the youngster’s recent TikToks bagged nearly three million views and she has amassed over 204,000 followers on the site, with a further 142,000 fans over on Instagram – with both accounts launched when she turned 16 last October.

As well as her own, she regularly appears on her parents’ social medias, with the Thomas family also having their own account.

This includes her famous uncles as well as Ryan’s former TOWIE star fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh.

PR expert Lynn Carratt told the publication: ‘It’s clear they’re a close-knit family who understand how to use social media effectively to build their careers. They capitalise on TikTok trends, and each member is talented in their own right.’

She sounded incredible in the clip as she revealed she was enjoying a day in the studio to get her singing practice in

She added that from a PR perspective, the family’s TikTok videos are an ‘excellent platform’ for displaying their talent to a ‘huge audience’.

She went on: ‘Teddy is clearly talented, and it seems the children in the family will follow in their fathers’ footsteps. Scarlett often appears in videos with her dad and uncles, showcasing her singing and acting skills. With both parents in TV, their talent has clearly rubbed off on Scarlett. She comes across as a confident and likeable girl who is close to her family.’

Lynn added: ‘The Thomas family videos are strategically leveraging each other’s personalities and showcasing their talents to millions daily. 

‘This approach is garnering them even more attention than traditional TV appearances and is creating numerous career opportunities for the entire family. 

‘I believe Scarlett and her younger cousin Teddy are poised for fabulous opportunities in the entertainment industry, and I can see Scarlett potentially joining a girl band as she gets older.’

Speaking in an interview with The Sun, Ryan previously defended his daughter’s start in the industry and claimed she wasn’t at an unfair advantage.

He said: ‘Everyone thinks she gets a lift up from family, getting on Waterloo Road.

‘But she worked damn hard to get that job, and people need to recognise that she’s a talented girl – she’s up against other people and she’s not getting a free ride.’

He added: ‘She has to go through the same process as everyone else – it was between her and somebody else. It wasn’t like, ‘This is a Thomas, she’s going to get this job’.’

While most young people in England do sit GCSEs, they are not a legal requirement under the Education Act of 1996. Students can choose to pursue other qualifications or leave formal education at 16.

However, not having GCSEs can limit your options later on in terms of further education – such as college or university. 

Many employers require a English and Maths at grade 4/C or above when considering potential employees for a job.
