Ronan and Yvonne Keating’s eight-year-old daughter Ali is set to star in a film with A-lister Idris Elba.
The Boyzone star and ex-model’s daughters have both caught the acting bug, with Missy, 13, already working on carving out a career on the big screen.
Now her younger sister Ali is set to join the acting fold, with a part in a short movie being produced by The Wire star for Sky Arts.

And Yvonne – who said she is “very excited” for her daughters future success – admitted Ali “can’t wait” to start filming.
She said: “I just got a call that Ali just got a part in an Idris Elba movie that he is directing and starring in, it’s a short for Sky Arts.
“It’s a small little part… He’s directed a short before and he’s obviously an amazing actor so I’m quite excited and she can’t wait.”

The Celebrity MasterChef star said she “would not stop her” Ali and Missy from achieving their acting dreams.
“Missy is 13 and she is very, very focused and very determined and this is what she really wants,” she told Woman’s Way.
“I’m open to whatever she wants to do, I would encourage her to go to college and try and manage that, but if she said she couldn’t do that, I would not stop her.

“Ali, I don’t know and this is probably a bit of fun. I think Ali’s very young. she’s just taking this job as it comes.”
And Missy’s career continues to go from strength to strength, having just returned from filming a short film in the UK.
She said: “Missy has just done her fourth movie, she’s been a lead in two of them and other parts in another two, the last one was just a short in London called The Library. She’s having a great time – absolutely loving it.”
