Waterloo Road star Hattie Dynevor has opened up on her bond with her Bridgerton star sister.

Hattie is the younger sister of Phoebe Dynevor, who shot to fame by playing the role of Daphne Bridgerton in the first season of Netflix's Regency hit drama back in 2020.

Speaking about being born to a family of TV stars – Hattie and Phoebe's mum is Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor – Hattie said her sister and mother have been nothing but supportive of her own career.

"They [her mum and sister] have been so supportive, we're a very supportive family," Hattie told MailOnline.

Hattie went on to call Phoebe her "biggest inspiration" and mentioned their recent trip to Paris for Fashion Week in March.

"My sister is obviously my biggest inspiration and we went to Paris Fashion Week together," she added.

"That was amazing. It was so incredible just to watch her, and yeah we had the best time."

On her Instagram, Hattie posted several snaps of herself and Phoebe enjoying their time in the French capital back in March. "A very special trip with my best friend," she captioned a carousel, tagging her sister and adding a red heart emoji.

"Love you !!" Phoebe replied with a string of heart emojis.

Hattie made her Waterloo Road debut as Libby Guthrie, history teacher Neil Guthrie's daughter, during season 13.

Interestingly, Phoebe also had her start on the same school drama in series 5, when she first played student Siobhan Mailey.

At the time of Hattie's casting, Sally Dynevor shared her excitement on Instagram, congratulating her daughter on her first acting role.

"So proud of you @hattiedynevorr joining @waterlooroad playing Libby Guthrie. Such a fabulous cast and crew," the soap star wrote on Instagram.
