“I was her ‘chaperone’ and I can’t begin to tell you the emotions I felt standing there watching. To be standing behind the camera, watching my 7yr old daughter act for the first time in front of the camera, brought so many feelings back to when I first started acting and it felt so surreal to be there witnessing it all again but this time, as a parent”.
Kelvin continued, “My heart was beaming with pride and it was genuinely one of the very few times I’ve felt completely fulfilled”.
“To see your child find their passion and chase that feeling is one of the most beautiful and inspiring things to behold. What a moment for me and more importantly, what a moment for her. Well done darling”.
“P.S. The same week she got that casting, I didn’t get two! Typical”, he joked.

Alongside photos of Marnie on the Hollyoaks set, Liz said, “Introducing Lexi Roscoe! We couldn’t be prouder of Marnie joining the cast of Hollyoaks and last week her very first scene was aired! Day 1 she walked on set like she’s been doing it for 20 years, what a girl”.
