This Morning fans baffled after realising Tina O'Brien's real age

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien was glowing as she made an appearance on today's This Morning.

The actress, 38, sat down on the iconic sofa to chat with presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary - but fans were all saying the same thing.

ITV opened the daytime show with a montage of the soap star, with many blown away by how little she has changed since rising to fame as Sarah Platt on Corrie.

She landed her role on the soap at the age of 16, when she took over the role from Lynsay King back in 1999.

Taking to Twitter after watching her on the show, fans discussed how she looks no different.

One person penned: "Tina O'Brien hasn't aged in 23 years."

A second shared: "Tina O'Brien doesn't age at all, does she?"

And a third commented saying Tina "doesn't look old enough" to be a mum to her seven-year-old daughter.

Meanwhile, Tina was greeted with a warm welcome on the sofa.

Tina said: "No. I absolutely love watching you two. I'm proper fan girling right now."

She talked about her current Corrie storyline, which involves Sarah's stalker Lydia.

They watched a clip of Carla chatting to Sarah about Lydia.

Tina explained: "Something about what Lydia is saying is not sitting right with me. Never have I felt physically threatened by him. Yet Lydia has. It's just weird."

Alison gasped and said: "Is she going to click on?"

Tina continued: "I think so, I hope so. I think Sarah loves Carla's advice, she looks up to her. So hopefully she will listen."

Speaking about upcoming scenes, she added: "Something goes on with Adam and Lydia and it's all going to go off. A woman scorned and all that."

Lydia, who is played by Rebecca Ryan, has been scheming against her ex Adam (Sam Robertson) for weeks, with her no giving real reason why she decided to break him and his wife Sarah up.

Whilst she did say she wanted to "dismantle" his life as revenge for him dismantling hers, she never revealed what exactly he did to her when they were younger.

The storyline has been unfolding in recent episodes, with Adam finally confessing in tonight's episode to what he thinks he did to make Lydia behave in that way.

Explaining to Daniel how he was a ladies man at university, he told his half-sibling that he had a lot of luck with the women when he was studying.

He said he managed to get any girl he wanted but soon binned them off as he got bored with them all one by one.

Admitting he understood why that might of upset Lydia, he finally confessed he didn't behave the best towards women when he was younger as he recounted his past mistakes with the other women he had been with.
