Tina O'Brien Shares Cryptic Post Amid Fan Speculation Over Ex Ryan Thomas' Baby News

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.
