Although Scarlett Thomas is expected to earn millions from her GCSEs, her father, Ryan Thomas, has reacted to those who are hammering his parenting.
Ticked-off Ryan Thomas says the decision to allow daughter Scarlett to not sit her GCSE is no-one else’s business.
Last week, the young actress, 15, raised eyebrows by admitting she didn’t do her exams. She said that she will “forever wonder” if she could have had “good results” herself as hundreds of thousands of youngsters found out how they got on.
Over the footage on Instagram, she wrote to fans: “Watching everyone get there GCSE results today wondering if I could’ve had good results but I will forever wonder.” Scarlett, who used Phoebe Bridgers’ song Sidelines as the soundtrack to it, congratulated students in the caption.

She wrote on the platform: “Well done everyone you all should be beyond proud whatever results you got.” It drew criticism – and one of her parents have bitten back on social media. Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas couldn’t be prouder of their 15-year-old daughter, who is shining in her role on Waterloo Road.
After one fan criticized the decision, actor Ryan apologized and said it was “unacceptable” for the teenager to skip the crucial exams in order to concentrate on her acting career. He responded, “Is it even anyone’s business or concern?”
However, Scarlett may not have to worry too much because she is reportedly set for a sizable payday after revealing she didn’t take any GCSEs. With her enormous social media following, the young actor is expected to make up to £2 million before turning 18 years old.
Aside from her acting career as Izzy Charles on BBC school drama, Scarlett has become a name on social media, with 204,000 followers on TikTok and 142,000 on Instagram and it looks like things are only on the up for her.
PR expert Lynn Carratt told MailOnline that the Thomas family are “close-knit” and know how to use social media to “build their careers”. She added: “Each member is talented in their own right.
Scarlett frequently appears in videos showcasing her acting and singing abilities with her parents and uncles. Both parents have talent, and Scarlett has benefited from it, in part because of it. She appears to be a confident, caring, and loving person who is close to her family.
She continued, “I think Scarlett and her younger cousin Teddy are poised for fantastic opportunities in the entertainment industry, and I see them possibly forming a girl band as she ages.”
Proud dad Ryan, 41, previously insisted his daughter ‘won’t be getting a free ride’ as he discussed her role on Waterloo Road.
He claimed, “She worked damn hard to get that job, and people need to recognize that she’s a talented girl because she competes with other people and isn’t getting a free ride.”
She had to go through the same process as everyone else, which involved her and someone else. It wasn’t like, “She’s going to get this job, Thomas,” as it was.
Tina, 42, and Ryan’s mother, Tina, dated from 2003 to 2009, and they welcomed Scarlett in 2008 before moving on.
Since Ryan’s engagement to Lucy, they have two children, Roman and Lilah, and Tina is the mother of Beau, the child from her previous union to Adam Crofts.
