Home and Away star Bec Hewitt's daughter appears to be following in her famous mother's footsteps, but not everyone is happy about it. Mia, 19, was pictured on the set of Australia's second longest-running TV series in Palm Beach for the first time on Monday - 26 years after it made her mum a household name.

However, a Channel Seven spokesperson exclusively told Daily Mail that Australian tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt and Bec's daughter has been working on the show for well over a year. 'Mia has been a casual wardrobe assistant for the last 1.5 years and is a part of the Home and Away family,' they said in a statement.

Bec, 41, rose to fame playing beloved character Hayley Smith Lawson from 1998 to 2005. She exited the series when she fell pregnant with Mia. When images of the aspiring musician working on-set surfaced on Monday, reactions to her summer gig were mixed.

Home and Away star Bec Hewitt's daughter Mia has been working on the set of the long-running soap for one and a half years. 'I bet she didn't even have to interview,' one reader commented. 'Privilege much,' added another. 'No special treatment, except for her actually being there in the first place,' reasoned a third.

Meanwhile, someone else slammed the 'nepo baby' label, saying: 'Good on her for wanting a job. Kids can't pick their parents.'. Nepo baby is a slang term for someone who has achieved success in a career similar to their famous parents, and is thought to have benefited from their family's connections.
