ITV Emmerdale's Charley Webb stuns celebrity pals and fans with video of son singing on stage

Charley Webb was the definition of a proud mum as she watched her eldest son make his stage debut. The former Emmerdale star took to Instagram to share a video of 12-year-old son Buster in a production of We Will Rock You.

The video showed the pre-teen on stage solo, wearing his long locks down and sporting a black tank top paired with a pair of blue jeans. He was then seen and heard belting out Queen's hit record Bohemian Rhapsody in the reproduction of the West End show which is based on the songs of British rock band.

Captioning the clip of her boy giving a mesmerizing performance to the crown, Charley, who shares Buster and his two younger brothers with former Emmerdale co-star Matthew Wolfenden, wrote: "Buster in his show, 12 years & 2 months. Those notes he hits."
