Exes Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington’s lookalike children have shared a glimpse into the family’s life at home. 

The Sherlock stars were together for 16 years from 2000 until breaking up in 2016 and they share two children, Joe, 18, and Grace, 16. 

But over the Christmas week, Grace took to TikTok to share some insight into her and Joe’s festivities with dad Martin at the home he shares with girlfriend Rachel Benaissa and their two sausage dogs. 

The hilarious clip showed the family lip-syncing to the boyband song from Martin’s iconic Christmas film Nativity, called She’s The Brightest Star. 

It gave fans a small glimpse into the actor’s lavish home, as he and daughter Grace danced in front of a grand fireplace and huge patterned rug. 

In another part of the video, Martin was seen relaxing on an expensive-looking blue quilted velvet couch as he petted one of his dachshunds and lip-synced along to the track.

A particularly funny part of the video saw Grace standing in front of a glittering Christmas tree as she lip-synced, before her brother Joe and dad Martin popped into frame to be her backing singers. 

Martin’s French actress partner Rachel, 31, was seen getting fully involved as she sang and danced with his son Joe as they both cuddled the dogs.

Martin and Amanda met on the set of the film Men Only in 2000 and went on to play formidable duo John and Mary Watson in Sherlock.

He has since gone on to date French actress Rachel, who has featured in many roles including BBC’s smash hit Normal People.

Meanwhile Amanda is now in a relationship with former daredevil Jonathan Goodwin. The couple were friends for years before they began dating.

However they were only together two months before Jonathan became permanently paralysed when he was crushed during a stunt – leaving him in a wheelchair.

The escapologist suffered life-changing injuries after he was crushed between two suspended cars while rehearsing a stunt for America’s Got Talent: Extreme in 2021.

Amanda recently opened up on her close relationship with ex Martin, who she said will be attending her wedding next year.

Speaking about the current chapter in her life, Amanda said that while the menopause has been challenging she likes her fifties because she ‘cares less’.

The Sherlock star discussed her upcoming wedding to her fiancé Jonathan Goodwin, who she will tie the knot with next summer.

Amanda, who revealed her son Joe will act as Best Man while her daughter is set to be her bridesmaid, was also quizzed on if her ex Martin will attend. 

She said: ‘I would imagine so. We’re still mates, we’re good friends. It’s important to maintain a good, healthy relationship with your ex if you have children, I think.’

Back in September it was reported that Amanda was being supported by Martin amid the Strictly Come Dancing scandal.

Martin reached out to her to support after the scandal and was someone to lean on amid the turbulent time, reported The Sun.

A source told the publication: ‘Martin has made a point of making sure Amanda is OK with everything that has happened recently. They share two children together so have always remained close for their sake.

‘He was left worried and concerned at learning about the things which Amanda has been going through. And it’s been really heartening for Amanda to know that she has Martin’s support.

‘She’s been through hell recently, and had to endure death threats and hateful messages. She’s relied heavily on her fiancé Jonathan who has been an absolute rock throughout all of this.’     

Amanda previously revealed that she kept her high-profile break up a secret for six months after she and Martin just couldn’t live with each other anymore.

Talking to the The Sunday Times magazine she said: ‘When we broke up nobody knew, we didn’t tell anybody except for a few key people because they had to know, because of the logistics of hotels and stuff.

‘It took six months for it to get out and a lot of that was while we were working on Sherlock… We were professional and we were going to get on and make a show and be civil to each other.

‘We still get on really well, we still really both admire each other as actors… he’s a great guy, but we just couldn’t live with each other any more.’
