Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas found himself in a hilariously sticky situation thanks to his young daughter, Scarlett, and the incident was too good not to share.
The actor, known for playing Jason Grimshaw, took to Instagram to reveal the chaotic aftermath of his little girl's solo makeup session during a train journey. The result was a viral moment of pure, unfiltered parenting reality.
A Picture Worth a Thousand Laughs
The now-viral photo, shared with his 715,000 followers, shows Scarlett looking incredibly pleased with herself. The source of her pride? A creative and generous application of what appears to be red lipstick, which ended up more on her face, hands, and clothes than on her lips.
Ryan's caption perfectly captured the mix of horror and humour every parent knows all too well: "When your daughter finds the make-up bag on the train… help!"
Fans and Family React
The post immediately struck a chord, flooding in with over 20,000 likes and hundreds of comments from fellow parents and fans who could relate to the struggle.
One user commented, "Hahaha the face of no regrets!", while another wrote, "Welcome to parenthood Ryan… it only gets worse!"
Even Scarlett's mother, Ryan's fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh, joined in on the fun. The former The Only Way Is Essex star simply responded with a series of crying-laughing emojis, clearly seeing the funny side of her daughter's creative expression.
More Than Just a Mess
While the makeup meltdown provided a good laugh, the moment also offered a sweet glimpse into Ryan Thomas's life as a doting dad. Since leaving the cobbles of Weatherfield, he has often shared heartfelt and humorous family moments with his followers.
This endearing incident proves that even for celebrities, parenting is filled with the same messy, unpredictable, and utterly hilarious moments that bring everyone together.
