Former Emmerdale star Sammy Winward shocked the Loose Women panel as she was joined by her lookalike daughter.
Sammy, who played Katie Sugden on the ITV soap, explained how her teenage daughter wants to follow in her acting footsteps.
But the Loose Women panel were distracted by how similar Sammy, 35, and Mia, 16, looked.

Sammy welcomed Mia in June 2005 with footballer David Dunn.
Intrigued by their friendly relationship, Janet Street-Porter asked: "The idea of being friends with my mum I always found a bit creepy. Are there times when you have to put your foot down?"
According to the Mirror, Sammy said: "Oh, of course, 10 times a day.
"Yeah absolutely, there’s a fine line between being mates and having that mother-daughter relationship.
"When we argue, nine times out of 10 it will end up in giggles!"
The panel were stunned at just how much Sammy's 16-year-old daughter Mia looks like her.
The panel then asked Mia about following in her mother's footsteps and pursuing an acting career.
Mia said: "I’ve just got a new agent recently.
"Mum has just said, 'just be polite, be yourself, be respectful to people around you, always have a back up'.
"'Don’t just rely on getting auditions and stuff because you have to realise it doesn’t always end with getting the job, so you have to have something to do in the meantime'."
The panel then joked about Sammy going back to Emmerdale as a ghost, while Janet suggested that Mia could play her character's long lost sister.
Sammy confirmed in November 2014 that she would leave Emmerdale in February 2015 after 13 years to pursue other interests, projects and acting roles.
On February 5, 2015, her character Katie died due to a fall at Wylie's Farm after falling through rotten floorboards after being pushed to the ground by her ex-lover and brother-in-law Robert Sugden.
Since then Sammy has starred in ITV drama Prey as Lucy Murdoch for two series and also played Siobhan Murphy in two episodes of ITV’s Fearless.
