Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien gave fans a glimpse into her low-key birthday celebrations after regularly stunning fans with her age. The actress celebrated a major milestone on Monday (August 7) as she turned 40.
Earlier this year, Tina, who is famed for playing Sarah Barlow - nee Platt - in the ITV soap, surprised fans when she revealed that she'd be celebrating the occasion this year. Back in April, the Rusholme-born star, shared some new headshots of herself which showed off her natural and ageless beauty.
"I'm turning 40 this year," she started the caption of her post. "Decided it's time to update my seriously outdated headshots for Spotlight.
