TV debut for Emma’s mini-me

- By Eleanor Sharples TV & Radio Correspond­ent

WITH her sweet smile and cropped dark hair, Dame Emma Thompson’s daughter looks every inch the mini-me.

And the resemblanc­e clearly doesn’t end there – as Gaia Wise followed in her mother’s footsteps to make her TV debut this week. The 22-year-old, whose father is actor Greg Wise, is starring in the latest series of BBC drama Silent Witness.

She plays university student Jo Reynolds whose mother, the controvers­ial health secretary, is assassinat­ed – sparking the interest of forensic pathologis­ts.

Miss Wise, who has appeared in small roles in films such as 2015’s A Walk To Remember, makes her TV debut nearly 40 years after Dame Emma appeared in ITV comedy show Alfresco.
