Scottish bra-maker Michelle Mone gained plenty of news coverage recently when she revealed that the new face and body of her Ultimo bra collection was her own daughter, Rebecca. As the 22-year old launched the new collection for women with larger cup sizes, Michelle tweeted "Busy day. Launched our new Face of Ultimo DD-G cups, love her to bits."

And as Rebecca joins her mother in the bra-selling business, we celebrate ten famous offspring who have gone into the same business as one or both of their parents.


1. Georgia May Jagger
Mick Jagger and former model Jerry Hall have done a sterling job of producing model children - including Georgia May's sister Lizzie. Georgia May is the latest to join the family business, and at the age of 22 has already modelled for everyone from Chanel and Versace to Sunglasses Hut.

2. Victoria Coren Mitchell
The journalist, panel show regular and host of 'Only Connect' is the daughter of Alan Coren, who in between being a satirist, editor and author found time to be team captain on Call My Bluff - as well as a regular on the News Quiz. Victoria is also the sister of Giles Coren, who followed the family into journalism, writing and TV presenting, but has sadly neglected his panel show responsibilities.

4. Jaden Smith
Acting was perhaps the only logical choice for Jaden Smith - the son of two A-list actors. However, he went one step further than Kate Hudson in his devotion to the family business, by appearing with his father Will Smith in not one but two films by the age of 16.



5. Lilly Rose-Melody Depp
The daughter of actor Johnny Depp and pop star Vanessa Paradis, is a relative newcomer to the world of acting - at the age of 15. She's due to make a brief appearance in Kevin Smith horror film, Tusk, and is currently filming Yoga Hosers (again directed by Kevin Smith) and this time starring her dad.
