Whilst Johnny may be a superstar to the rest of the word, Lily-Rose was not so impressed when her dad joined music's hottest stars. The teenager apparently "watched with her blushing mates while her dad temporarily joined the world's biggest boyband."

Lily-Rose is Johnny's daughter by his partner of 14 years Vanessa Paradis. The pair sadly split back in June, but have tried to keep their separation as amicable as possible.
