EastEnders star Charlie Brooks has shared a rare glimpse into her family life by posting a series of photographs of her 15-year-old daughter Kiki on Instagram. The actress, who plays Janine Butcher in the soap, usually keeps her personal life private but made an exception with a heartfelt tribute.
Brooks described her daughter as 'strong, independent, inspirational' and expressed her pride in a lengthy caption. The images show Kiki from babyhood to a recent selfie, accompanied by the hashtags #lovebomb and #mentalhealthawareness.
Brooks co-parents Kiki with her ex-partner Tony Truman, with whom she remains on friendly terms. In a previous appearance on Loose Women, she discussed the challenges of raising a teenager, admitting she sometimes finds it 'lonely' and struggles with letting go as her daughter grows more independent.
Fans responded warmly to the post, with many noting the strong resemblance between mother and daughter. One commenter remarked that they looked like 'sisters'.
