Tina O'Brien has sparked further speculation among fans after sharing another cryptic social media post, following her ex-partner Ryan Thomas's announcement that he and fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh are expecting a baby. The Coronation Street actress, 36, posted a message reading: 'Don't waste your time with explanations. People will hear what they want to hear.'
The post comes after Ryan, 35, shared a video on Sunday showing the moment his and Tina's daughter Scarlett, 10, learned she was going to be a big sister. Fans quickly interpreted Tina's earlier deleted post—which said 'Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar'—as a dig at Ryan for publicising the private moment.
Social media users flooded Tina's comments with mixed reactions. One wrote: 'Why take post down and put another up! U seem more bothered about Lucy being pregnant I think!' Another defended her, saying: 'Just because she puts up a quote does not mean it’s directly correlated to her ex! She is happily married and I’m sure she’s doing just fine.'
Several of Tina's former and current Coronation Street co-stars, including Samia Longchambon and Nikki Sanderson, initially commented on the posts but later deleted their remarks. MailOnline has contacted representatives for Tina O'Brien, Ryan Thomas and Lucy Mecklenburgh for comment.
