Tina O'Brien has revealed she finds it strange when her real-life boyfriend says romantic things on-screen to Michelle Keegan. The former Coronation Street star, who left her role as Sarah-Louise Platt in 2007, has a baby daughter with Ryan Thomas, whose character Jason Grimshaw is now dating Tina McIntyre in the soap. Asked if she gets jealous seeing them together, Tina said: "I definitely don't get jealous if they're kissing - that doesn't really bother me at all - it's not the nicest thing in the world but I'm certainly not jealous about it." She continued: "Sometimes when he says something to her that he'll say to me for real it's a bit odd. At the end of the day she's a really lovely girl. They're doing a job. What are they supposed to do?" She added: "I've met her a few times and got on with her really well. She seems lovely." Earlier this month reports claimed that Tina had signed a deal to return to Coronation Street, which the soap later denied. In her recent interview, Tina said: "I have spoken to them about it and of course I would like to go back one day but nothing has been confirmed." A Coronation Street spokeswoman said: "We've toyed with the idea of Sarah-Louise coming back at some point, but there's no storyline on the table." Tina O'Brien has teamed up with Indesit to launch their new Prime range of appliances. Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk’s new weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
