Emmerdale fans shocked after finding out Emily Head has a VERY famous dad

HOW did we not know this?!

Emmerdale fans were left stunned when they found out that Emily Head - the actress who plays Rebecca White - has a very, very famous dad. The 29-year-old recently shared a photo of herself with her dad, Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Anthony Head, backstage at London's O2. The photograph was taken backstage at the venue, where Anthony has been one of the stars of The Muppets Take The O2.  She captioned the picture:

"When your dad is as cool as mine is, you get to do some pretty cool things. Like meeting The Muppets. "And watching your dad perform with them live at The O2. 8-year-old me would be so jealous."
