Tina O’Brien’s fans are convinced she is her 14 year old daughter Scarlett’s “twin” after the pair looked very alike in a fun TikTok video
Coronation Street fans have been left floored after realising that Tina O’Brien is the spitting image of her teenage daughter, Scarlett Thomas, in a recent TikTok video. The 41 year old star, famed for her role as Sarah Platt on the ITV soap, gave birth to Scarlett back in 2008 when she was just 26.
Tina shares her 14 year old daughter with ex and former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas. The mother-daughter pair boast a tight-knit relationship, with young actress Scarlett frequently posting hilarious snippets of their bond on social media. In a recent TikTok post, Scarlett is seen lip-syncing to Muni Long’s track Made For Me. As the catchy chorus kicks in, Waterloo Road actress Scarlett drops to her feet while her mum attempts to unwind at the kitchen table. She lip-syncs: “Nobody knows me like you do, nobody gonna love me quite like you.”
Wrapping up the video, Scarlett envelops her mum in a warm embrace. Scarlett tagged the video with: “POV: it’s that time of the day to annoy your mother when she finally gets some alone time @tinaob83,” accompanied by two white heart emojis.
Fans raced to the comments to remark on gorgeous Tina’s age-defying appearance. One person exclaimed: “Why does Tina not age?” Another echoed the sentiment, saying: “Beautiful like her mum. Tina never ages.” A third fan eagerly asked: “would love to know Tina’s secret to looking so young! drop the skincare routine.”
Like her well-known parents, Scarlett is carving out her own path in acting and made a splash in 2023 by securing the part of Izzie Charles in the BBC’s reboot of Waterloo Road. She even acts alongside her real-life uncle, Adam Thomas, a former Emmerdale favourite, who portrays her on-screen father Donte.
Scarlett isn’t just about acting; she’s also passionate about singing and often posts clips flaunting her vocal talents online. Tina and ex-partner Ryan were an item from 2003 until 2009 and have since found love with new partners. Since 2018, Tina has been happily hitched to Adam Crofts, whom she started dating in 2011. Meanwhile Ryan started dating former Towie star Lucy Meckleburgh in 2017, they got engaged two years later. The couple are parents to Roman, four, and Lilah, two.
