Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien said she was ‘so proud’ as she shared a rare message about her daughter weeks after they were caught up in a shocking brawl outside their family home. The actress, who is best known for playing Sarah Barlow in the ITV soap, shares teenager Scarlett with her ex and former co-star Ryan Thomas.

Over the weekend, actress Scarlett, who has joined her uncle Adam Thomas in the reboot of BBC’s Waterloo Road, was seen out with her other uncle Scott Thomas as he helped launch Channel 4’s The Piano in Manchester city centre.

A seven-metre piano was rolled out on the floor of the Arndale Centre on Saturday (April 20), accompanied by a baby grand piano for stars and members of the public to play tunes on as the show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, prepares for a return to screens on Sunday (April 28).

TV star Christine McGuiness, Hollyoaks star Georgie Porter, from Trafford and Love Island All Stars champion Molly Smith were among the celebrities also involved as well as Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts, from Bolton, and The Traitors runner up Jaz Singh.

But as Scott took part in the event, he roped Scarlett into a song with performer Danny Wilsher, who appeared in series one of The Piano. Together, Scarlett and Danny performed a version of Shallow from A Star is Born with Scarlett wowing the growing Manchester audience with her vocal talents.

Scott was ever the proud uncle as he watched in awe before he filmed Scarlett in action and the crowd’s reaction before posting it to his Instagram Story. The clip also got back to an equally proud Tina who shared it with her followers on her Instagram Story.

She tagged her daughter before writing: “Super proud mum,” while former Corrie star and Dancing on Ice 2024 winner Ryan also shared his public praise.
