Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien left in tears over daughter's on-screen performance before 'knockout' hot pink display

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien has shared how her daughter's latest TV appearance left her in tears. The actress, who is known for playing Sarah Barlow in the ITV soap, is a proud mum to daughter Scarlett Thomas.

The teen, whom Tina shares with former partner and ex-co-star Ryan Thomas, made her acting debut last year in the reboot of Waterloo Road alongside her actor uncle Adam Thomas and cousin Teddy. She has since returned to screens in the latest series which sees Izzy Charles continue to navigate the loss of her mum, Chlo Charles.

In one of the latest scenes in the school-based BBC One drama, Izzy was seen emotionally paying tribute to her late mum who tragically died hours after being knocked down by a car outside the school amid a student protest.

She was on stage with new pal Tonya Walters, played by Summer Violet Bird, as they read out a heart-wrenching poem about friendship, designed to be between Izzy and her mum, as the teachers, their fellow pupils and Izzy's dad, Donte, watched on with tears in their eyes.

And while the scenes left many viewers in tears, it was clear Tina was overcome with emotion as she watched her daughter act out the tear-jerking scenes. Alongside a clip of the moment shared on Waterloo Road's Instagram account, the soap star shared a string of crying and heart emojis.

She then responded to a follow-up post, writing: "Cried my eyes out," before sharing it to her own Instagram Story, tagging her daughter and writing: "Best scene ever!!!"

Meanwhile, Tina also got her own moment in the spotlight as she dazzled on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards 2023 over the weekend. The 39-year-old sizzled in a hot pink gown that boasted one-shoulder dealing and a thigh-high split.

She wore her blonde locks down but slicked back behind her ears, shpwog off her sparkling drop-earrings which perfectly matched her glistening heels.

"Gorgeous night at the @thebritishsoapawards last night with @coronationstreet what a night we had!" Tina penned on Instagram as she was seen posing in a snap on the red carpet. She added: "Special shout out to @channiquesb and @charliejordanxo for their well deserved wins."

Julia Goulding who plays Corrie sister-in-law Shona Platt replied: "Unbelievably stunning." Abi Webster actress Sally Carman-Duttine commented: "Good grief woman." Jodie Prenger, who plays Glenda Shuttleworth, and Gareth Pierce, who plays Todd Grimshaw, posted flame and heart emojis.

Hollyoaks actress Nikki Sanderson wrote: "Stunning." In response to a follow-up post showing a close-up of her awards show glam, Toyah Habeeb actress Georgia Taylor comment: "Dreamy, T." And Julia also shared another comment as she posted: "Just wow! Absolute knockout."
