Warwick Davis has celebrated his daughter Annabelle's debut as Lacey Lloyd in Hollyoaks.
The star, who is known for roles including Wicket the Ewok and Professor Flitwick, tweeted a sweet tribute earlier this week ahead of Annabelle's first episode on the soap.
"Shout out to my daughter, @AnnabelleLDavis who debuts in the British Soap @Hollyoaks tonight. Never seen the show but will be watching tonight!" he wrote.

Lacey has aspirations of being a paralegal, and alongside her best friend Rayne (played by Jemma Donovan), moves into a shared house that includes Romeo, Nadira and Prince.
Speaking ahead of her first appearance, Annabelle teased: “It’s a whirlwind of emotions and events. The chaos baffles Lacey a bit, but she likes everyone she lives with.
“Rayne has her eye on Romeo and Lacey supports that – he seems like a nice guy. Prince is funny, and there’s a possibility Nadira and Lacey will get closer later on as they have a lot of similar qualities.”

Jemma offered a hint at what fans can expect from Lacey and Rayne's friendship as well.
"Rayne's an influencer, she's very confident, fun, and is here to play! But there's a whole other side to her that we'll see soon," she said.
"Lacey can deal with Rayne because she knows what she's like and they have a genuine relationship."
Annabelle also appeared in the recent Disney+ continuation series Willow as Mims, Willow's daughter, and has had roles in Jack the Giant Slayer and CBBC's The Dumping Ground.
