Pop Idol star Gareth Gates poses with daughter, 17, as she passes her driving test

You must be so proud of her. Gareth himself learned to drive in his late teens, and was seen taking lessons on the set of Celebrity Driving School for Red Nose Day, on which he featured alongside Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha, the late Paul O'Grady and EastEnders ' Natalie Cassidy - although none of them actually passed their test whilst on the show. Gareth, who has won Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2023 and previously competed on Dancing on Ice , does not often share glimpses of his family life on social media but he is currently in a relationship with dating West End actress Allana Taylor.
