Tina O'Brien Wows in Bikini After Ex's Daughter Signs Record Deal

Tina O'Brien, known for her role on Coronation Street, recently posted a striking image of herself in a bikini on Instagram. The 42-year-old actress displayed her physique by an outdoor pool, accessorizing with designer sunglasses.

This post follows news from her ex-partner, Ryan Thomas, that their 17-year-old daughter, Scarlett, has officially signed a record deal with Big Family Music. Thomas shared his pride, calling it one of the best days of his life.

Scarlett, who has a passion for singing and acting, has previously faced public discussion for opting out of her GCSE exams to concentrate on her burgeoning career. She has since expressed excitement about this major opportunity and the musical journey ahead.

This development comes after Ryan Thomas defended his decision to allow Scarlett to forgo sitting her GCSEs, stating it was not anyone's business. While GCSEs are common, they are not a legal requirement in England, allowing students to pursue alternative paths from age 16.

Scarlett has previously defended her career choices, responding to criticism that her opportunities were solely due to her famous parents by stating, "God forbid a girl takes the chances she gets." Her talent has been recognized previously, including an award nomination for her role in Waterloo Road.
