Coronation Street’s Tina O’Brien has been spotted out for the first time since a “brawl” outside her home.
The actress, famed for her role as Sarah Louise Barlow in the ITV soap, was reportedly the “victim of an unprovoked incident” earlier this year. Tina, 40, who joined the popular show as Gail Platt’s daughter at the age of 12 in 1999, has spent most of her life in the public eye.
Since the incident, Sarah has kept a low profile but decided to break cover as she stepped out to pick up some flowers in Cheshire. The soap siren kept her outfit lowkey as she nipped out wearing a black oversized hoody and beige tracksuit bottoms.
