Warwick Davis pays sweet tribute to daughter as she makes Hollyoaks debut
Warwick Davis has lent his support to daughter Annabelle as she makes her debut on Hollyoaks this week.
It was announced late last year that the daughter of actors Warwick and Samantha Davis was set to join the cast of Hollyoaks in early 2023 and she makes her Channel 4 soap debut this week.
The 25-year-old actress plays paralegal Lacey Lloyd, who is ‘driven, forthright and funny’, Holloaks said.
Lacey makes her entrance in the village of the Chester-based soap with her influencer best friend Rayne, played by Jemma Donovan.
The pair will soon become part of a new shared house with Romeo – played by I’m A Celebrity star Owen Warner – Prince (Malique Thompson Dwyer) and Nadira (Ashling O’Shea).

The actor wrote online: “Shout out to my daughter, Annabelle Davis who debuts in the British Soap, Hollyoaks tonight. Never seen the show but will be watching tonight!”
The character of Lacey will be “fiercely loyal and a great friend who brings the calm and common sense, whilst best friend Rayne brings the chaos”, Hollyoaks said.
