Rising star who steals the scene from Tom Hardy in MobLand has famous parents

The teen who plays Tom Hardy's daughter in Prime crime drama MobLand has been revealed to be the real life child of two actors. Her father is a Welsh comedian and movie star while her mum has starred in Channel 4 and ITV dramas
A new rising star has turned heads in the Prime Video crime drama MobLand, and she just happens to come from one of Britain's most famous showbiz families.
19-year-old actress Teddie Allen plays Tom Hardy's daughter in the gritty new series, which also features screen legends Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. Teddie is generating buzz for her powerful performance, and while watching the series, viewers may have thought her family name sounds familiar.
‌
They would be right, as she is the daughter of actors Keith Allen and Tamzin Malleson, and the half-sister of Lily Allen and Alfie Allen.
‌
Teddie recently spoke to The Sunday Times about what it was like growing up in a household full of celebrities, saying: "When I was at junior school, older girls started asking me if my mum and dad were on telly or if Lily Allen was my sister. That feels a bit weird when you're little.
"And when we were out shopping people would run up to my dad and call him 'a legend' or 'a hellraiser'. If they wanted a selfie it was usually me that ended up taking it.
"I wanted to say, 'You might think he's a legend and a hellraiser, but did you know that he calls me into the living room to get the TV remote from the coffee table because he's too lazy to get off the armchair?'"
Teddie also admitted that there were downsides to growing up with famous parents, adding: "Foolishly, when I was about 11, I started googling my family and wish I hadn't. There was even some horrible stuff about me, saying how awful my name was. I didn't know these people, so what's it got to do with them?"
‌
Although she is technically a nepo baby, the actress revealed that her father refused to give her a leg up in his line of work. She shared: "When I told him I was interested in acting, he said there was no way he was paying for some fancy acting college or hustling for work for his daughter. At the time I was a bit put out, but now I see he was right."
Keith chimed in to agree with her, saying: "Teddie seems to be drifting towards acting but I can promise you that she has never been pushed or encouraged by me or Tamzin. None of this nepotism s**t. If she wants to do it, she can do it herself. I didn't have anybody helping me."
He also was adamant that she isn't getting into acting for the fame, adding: "She seems quite wary of stepping into the public eye, or whatever you want to call it, because she's seen that it doesn't always have a positive outcome. That's the best way to approach it. All these people that are so desperate to be famous: f*** off."
Teddie already has a handful of credits to her name, including Swallows and Amazons, Cider with Rosie, and Four Kids and It. However, her part in MobLand is her biggest role to date.

Millions of Freeview watchers hit by big Channel 4 change and must re-scan TV boxes to keep popular channel

MILLIONS of Freeview watchers have been hit by a big channel change as viewers are urged to re-scan their TV boxes. Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels this month, meaning you'll need to retune to continue watching. As part of Freeview's monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June. This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview. It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events. 4seven has recently become the home of a selected number of men's European Championship U21 games, including Netherlands v Ukraine and Slovenia v Czechia. They have previously broadcast coverage of the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. But for the time being, 4seven is broadcasting on both new and old frequencies. At the end of this transition period, the old copy of 4seven will carry a retune caption. But you can retune today to ensure continued reception of 4seven on channel 49. Following your retune, you should see 4seven on channel 49 and the old copy of 4seven on channel 790. What's better is the channel now has universal coverage on Freeview. It's now available to all viewers in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man in addition to UK viewers who can only receive a reduce Freeview channel line-up. If you're a viewer who only receives around 20 basic Freeview channels at your address, you can retune to add 4seven to channel 49. It's a big bonus to some viewers as some remote locations with reduced access to Freeview are also affected by poor internet speeds meaning they can't stream TV either. This follows a reconfiguration of the frequency that carries the main Channel 4 service on Freeview, meaning the 4seven signal can now be aired alongside its parent channel. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News It's not the only Freeview change seen this month either. Just last week it was announced that Rewind TV is now on channel 81. It has swapped places with Blaze +1 and is now the next-door channel to the vintage Talking Pictures channel. There's also a new shopping channel with Must Have Ideas setting up shop on channel 96. The service was previously exclusive to satellite TV such as Sky and on YouTube but a retune will now add the channel to your service. Millions of Freeview watchers can also enjoy three new channels this month. Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into a number of channels including ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes.
