Soap nepo baby Scarlett Thomas, 17, shows off her singing voice after hitting back at trolls who accuse her of 'dressing inappropriately' and 'growing up too fast'

Nepo baby Scarlett Thomas has taken to TikTok showcased her impressive vocals after hitting back at trolls who accused her of ''dressing inappropriately'.

The 17-year-old daughter of Corrie exes Tina O'Brien and Ryan Thomas, who recently signed a record contract, sang one of her own tunes.

She looked every inch the pop diva in a faux fur coat and diamond necklace while belting out the emotional lyrics.

Scarlett addressed the 'frustrating' online backlash about 'growing up too fast' on dad Ryan's At Home With The Thomas Broothers this week. 

She said: 'I’m 17. And I don’t know. I think my fan base is a little bit weird. People think I'm a lot younger than I am and I don't think many people are ready that I'm growing up. It's a bit weird.'

'It's so frustrating. But a lot of like influencers my age, which is still the same kind of topic, don't get the same kind of comments as I do. Like "Why are you growing up so fast?".

Admitting she couldn't wait to turn 18 to be treated like other adults, Scarlett said: 'People have watched me grow up from birth so maybe that's another bit of a thing they have.

'But it can be a bit frustrating because, you know, I want to be taken seriously. I'm not a child.'

Last month dad Ryan revealed Scarlett was flying to Nashville to record music with One Direction's songwriter Julien Bunetta.

Speaking on his podcast he said: 'What's unbelievable about all this is the guy that she signed to, the boys that she signed to, have two other brothers who own the record label in the States - and this guy is called Julian Bunetta.'

Ryan added: 'In the music industry he's probably the biggest thing right now. 

'And Scarlett is now next month flying out to his house to record in show. And this is in Nashville. In Nashville, she's staying there for a week.'

He continued: 'How crazy is that? And she said, "Dad I like about pinch myself, like, what is going on." 

'And it's just crazy to think that she's going to be in that studio in Nashville, where music is basically originating from, where all the creative music people live, and she's going to be in and around it, just living and breathing and potentially like a song that we're all going to hear on the radio one day. 

'Like, how proud are we as a family?' 

Ryan previously shared a photo of himself and his daughter after she had signed the deal with Big Family Music at a restaurant.

He also posted a video of her singing at that same restaurant five years ago when she was 12. 

Alongside the clip, he wrote: 'Today is one of the best days of my life. Watching my little girl sign a record deal is a moment I will cherish forever.

'The stars were all aligned today. As we turned up at the restaurant to sign the deal Scarlett said 'I've been here before dad!! ' & then we found this video. 

'Stood on the chair in front of all her family singing A Million Dreams & here we are 5 years later making her dream come true.

She shared a photo of herself signing the contract and wrote: 'Wow what an experience I have had so far and what an experience I'm about to have, I am beyond grateful for this amazing opportunity.

'Today was a life changing moment for me, I've been working hard behind the scenes but I can now finally share it with you all. I can't wait for what this year brings, hopefully some amazing music.'

He  alsodefended his controversial decision to allow Scarlett to skip sitting her GCSEs.

Scarlett, who appeared in BBC's Waterloo Road in 2023, recently shared that she did not sit the nationwide exams in a video posted to her TikTok page.

The caption read: 'I'm watching everyone get there [sic] GCSE results today wondering if I could've had good results but I will forever wonder.'

The clip caused much controversy online, with many complaining that it was 'unacceptable' for the teenager to forgo sitting the exams and attending school to focus on her budding acting career.

Under one post which criticised the decision from her parents, her father weighed in in the comment section and hit back.

He defiantly said: 'Is it even anyone's business or concern though?'
