ITV Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien looks enthralled at Bongo's Bingo as she ends up 'trying to win her on-screen mum'

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien looked worlds away from the cobbles as she partied at Bongo's Bingo. The actress, known for playing Sarah Barlow - nee Platt - in the ITV soap, was letting her hair down at the often raucous event which sees revelers play bingo for a whole host of prizes.

For those unfamiliar with the event, which hosts night's across the country, is a mash-up of traditional bingo, but with wacky prizes like 12 Disney Princesses, cardboard cut-outs of famous faces and also big cash prizes for winning the house. The game sits alongside an old-school rave where the audience is encouraged to dance on the tables and sing their hearts out.
