ITV Emmerdale fans taken aback as star's son looks just like LFC player dad

Emmerdale's Sheree Murphy has wowed fans as she issued a heartfelt tribute to her son.

The soap star became a fan favourite with her portrayal of Tricia Dingle in the ITV show. The character met a tragic end in 2004 when she was killed during a lightning storm as she raced back to the Woolpack to tell Marlon Dingle she still loved him.

Fortunately for Sheree, her life away from the screen is a lot less dramatic than her on-screen counterpart. The 47-year-old enjoys a happy family life with former Liverpool FC player, Harry Kewell.

The soap star met the winger while he was playing for Leeds United and her exit from the Dales coincided with Kewell's move to the Reds. The two tied knot the knot in 2000 and are the proud parents of four children named Taylor, Ruby, Matilda and Dolly.

Sheree shares updates from their lives on Instagram and has penned a sweet message to Taylor his 22nd birthday. She said: "Happy 22nd birthday to my handsome kind loving son @taylor.j.r.kewell have the best day! We all love you so much."

Sheree shared a selection of snaps and fans were gobsmacked at how much Taylor looks like the former Reds number 7.
