'1st day of production!': Lex Scott-Davis and Skye P. Marshall share photos from set as they begin filming Toni Braxton biopic

Lex Scott-Davis and Skye P. Marshall shared some photos as they began filming the Toni Braxton biopic Un-Break My Heart on Wednesday.

Lex - who plays Grammy-winner Toni in the Lifetime movie - gave her followers a glimpse behind-the-scenes with an Instagram showing her carefully reading her lines wearing a glamorous ensemble.

The actress captioned it 'Only one way to go from here' and is seen in a plunging nude dress identical to the one Toni wore to the 1997 Billboard Awards where she scooped R&B Artist of The Year.

Her onscreen sibling Skye - who plays Toni's sister Towanda - also shared a couple of images from the first day of filming, including a sunny snap outside some production trailers.

She captioned it: '1st day of production! #UnBreakMyHeart #Vancouver #Canada #Film #Autumn' 

Mailonline exclusively revealed earlier this month that newcomer Lex had been cast in the movie.

Singer Toni, 47, will be a producer in the film adaptation of her book Un-Break My Heart. 

It will follow Braxton's health battles, her financial woes and her struggle to bring up her sons, one of whom has autism.

The authorized biography, based on her 2014 memoir of the same name, will follow the Grammy-winner's ups and downs through lupus, divorce, and bankruptcy.

Lifetime said the film will be 'the never-before-told story of the measures Braxton took to make herself and her family whole again, serving as an inspiration to people around the world.'  

Toni and her sisters Tamar, Towanda and Trina, who are also singers, currently star with their mother Evelyn on WeTV reality show Braxton Family Values.
