Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien appeared to have reignited her feud with ex Ryan Thomas.
The soap stars, – who played on-screen couple Sarah Platt and Jason Grimshaw in the hit ITV soap – dated in the Noughties when when they were both in Corrie.
Tina and Ryan were together for six years and share daughter Scarlett, who was born in 2008 and is now 14 years old.

Their relationship ended though when Ryan apparently walked out on Tina a week before Scarlett’s first birthday.
Tina has since moved on with hubby Adam Crofts, who she shares eight-year-old son Beau with – but things are said to have been bitter with ex Ryan since the split.
And now, it seems things are still a bit tense between the two, after Tina is reported to have shared a quote directed at “tyrannical narcissistic fathers” in her Instagram stories.
The same quote also branded such men “bullies,” “cruel” and a “lying, arrogant person.”
As The Sun reports, it went on to say: “He is a tyrant that is totally entrenched in his grandiose world and insistent that everyone follow his commands. He is emotionally abusive and can cause significant emotional damage to all family members.
“His behaviours cause the relationships within a family to be toxic and can cause lifelong wounds.”
Tina shared a picture of the quote and wrote at the top: “Thankfully not my dad… but a dad that I know very well. Deeply resonates.”
The post has since been deleted and it appeared to be a dig at her former partner Ryan.
Tina and Ryan started dating in 2003 after her relationship with Corrie actor Bruno Langley ended, and welcomed daughter Scarlett in 2007, with Tina quitting the soap to look after her.

She later revealed she had been planning to come back to the cobbles but Ryan talked her out of it, sparking suspicion with her that he wasn’t happy.
She told new! magazine: “Maybe he knew he was going to end it and didn’t want the hassle of us working together.”
The couple eventually ended their relationship in 2009, two years after she left the soap.
At the time she revealed the reason for their split saying: “He said he didn’t love me anymore. Those were his words. I was devastated.”
Tina did say at the time that she and Ryan had moved on and were friends, saying: “Everyone has moved on and is in a happy place. Ryan is really happy and we are happy, so there aren’t any issues.”
However, in 2022, reports claimed that they got in to a furious argument late at night after she had enjoyed a night out with friends.
Tina was accused of smashing a wing mirror of his Range Rover and scratching paintwork on the car during the fracas.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Ryan and Tina have a fractious relationship. They are not on good terms and that tension boiled over.
“Tina, who was at a pal’s house party, came out into the street to meet him as he drove up. Soon after that, his car was damaged with the baseball bat.
“It was quite a disturbing incident and Ryan drove away as soon as he could. They’ve not spoken since and Ryan is furious.”
