After Amy's appearance on This Morning where she opened up about her sister, fans of the show were SHOCKED to make the discovery and took to Twitter to question it.

But Kimberley, 36, and Amy, 31, aren't the only famous Walshes from the family, as it turns out their older sister Sally was also previously a resident of the Dales.

Sally, 39, portrayed Marlon Dingle's girlfriend Lyn Hutchinson for three years until 2000, and is best remembered for her catfight with Kelly Windsor.

Along with their brother Adam, 35, who starred in Heartbeat, all four Walsh siblings were apparently set for stardom from an early age.

The family, from Bradford, all joined a local stage school and soon after began landing acting roles - and of course, Kimberley became an international name after winning a place in Girls Aloud on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.
