Former Coronation Street heart-throb Ryan Thomas must have been over the moon when he was offered the role of a lifetime on Neighbours.
In all the excitement of moving Down Under, meeting his new castmates and remembering what sunshine looks like, it’s easy to forget how things back home can affect you.
So it’s not all fun and games for Ryan, who has had to miss his daughter’s ninth birthday while filming in Australia.
He posted a heartfelt message to her on Instagram, captioning it: “Happy birthday Scarlett, our first ever birthday apart makes this so much harder being the other side of the world. Love you my angel.”
Fans were quick to offer the star well wishes, with one writing: “Everything you do is for Scarlett which makes it ok.” Another posted: “You’re a super dad. You’ll see her soon.”
Ryan moved to the land down under to take the role of Rafael Humphreys on Neighbours, a loner with a troubled past.
