For almost a quarter of a century, Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has become a much loved staple of our weekly soap schedules as Sarah Platt. Whether it was tackling the hard hitting issue of teenage pregnancy, through to defending her on-screen daughter after she was a victim of abuse, Sarah has been at the heart of some of the most intense and gripping storylines over the years.
In fact, Tina’s on screen alter-ego Sarah has even recently been caught up in yet another juicy scandal after she covered up for her villainous uncle Stephen Reid, as he defrauded his own mother Audrey Roberts. To make matters worse, by covering for his dodgy dealing behaviour, Sarah had also unwittingly helped him to steal money from Underworld, something which left the business in turmoil following his death at the hands of Peter Barlow.
And if the past few weeks haven’t been dramatic enough for her already, her former love-interest Damon Hay is also due to return to the cobbles in the coming days, just months after Sarah sadly lost his baby following their earlier steamy affair.
Thankfully, however, despite all the drama we’ve seen on screen, Tina’s life away from the cobbles is far less dramatic than her on-screen alter-ego, with the much loved actress currently residing in a delightful three-storey home in Manchester along with her husband and two children. The 40 year old star lives with husband Adam Crofts, their son Beau and daughter Scarlett, who she shares with former flame Ryan Thomas.
