Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has celebrated his daughter’s birthday. The former Reds defender dressed up for the occasion alongside his wife, Nicola.
Mia Carragher marked her birthday last night with a fancy dress party, after turning 21 on Wednesday, May 14. Jamie was in disbelief as he sent his daughter a birthday message.
The 44-year-old shared snaps alongside his daughter to mark the special day, alongside a heartfelt tribute. On social media, he said: “Happy 21st birthday @miacarragher. Twenty one babe, I can’t believe it! I didn’t have a clue you’d be everything I wished you would be but you are, beautiful, funny, sporty, talented & a heart of gold.
“Please never change & don’t let anyone ever stop you achieving your dreams. Looking forward to you making me laugh today the way you have for the last 21yrs.”
Despite Mia’s birthday landing on a Wednesday this year, the family waited until last night to celebrate. Bootle-born Jamie dressed up as Willy Wonka for the occasion, wearing a top hat and holding a cane to look the part.
Nicola Carragher looked impressive as she dressed up as Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Her faced was painted blue and she wore an inflatable suit, in a nod to one the movie’s most famous scenes.
Carragher posted to Instagram: “What a great night for @MiaCarragher 21st birthday fancy dress party.” Fans of the football pundit were impressed with the efforts made by the family.

A video shared by the former Premier League footballer was captioned “@MiaCarragher we know where you get your talent from.” The mum-of-two was caught dancing on camera by he husband.
It has been a busy few months Mia, she played the leading role in a new film which sees a night out descend into ‘chaos’. The 21 year-old trained at Liverpool-based performing arts school Rare Studio, which is located in Wood Street in the city centre.
Mia plays one of the leading roles in the movie called ‘The Watering Hole’. In The Watering Hole, Mia stars as Liv, along with Ana played by Isabella Pinto and Ant played by Peter York. The film’s plot centres around Liv and Ana rinsing a man of his wallet in a local pub.
It is a drama that explores the perspectives of the three characters, flipping between each one. Handheld cameras and wide lenses have been used to try and give audiences insight into each character’s viewpoint. The more drunk they get, the more the film mirrors their mental state. The movie is available to stream now.
Mia got to where she is now through several smaller roles. As an 11-year-old in 2015, she appeared in the music video for Scouting for Girls single Life’s Too Short, a singalong love song. She had already been in another video, for Amsterdam-based artist Jyra’s dance track Feelin’ Good.
