O'Brien, Thomas 'rowed over Keegan'

Tina O'Brien dumped Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas following rows over the actor's latest screen romance, a report has claimed.

The 26-year-old, who played Weatherfield's young mum Sarah Platt for more than seven years, allegedly struggled as she watched her partner's character Jason Grimshaw share romantic moments with Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan).

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "Tina has been feeling vulnerable since leaving the Street two years ago. She was no longer in the limelight as much as Ryan and felt quite left out at times. Seeing Ryan on telly with this gorgeous young thing did not exactly help matters.

"It caused a lot of rows at home. Tina would get jealous and accuse him of fancying Michelle. She couldn't stand watching them kiss each other."

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that O'Brien and Thomas had ended their relationship after six years. The pair have a 13-month-old daughter named Scarlett together.

O'Brien had previously spoken publicly about her boyfriend's scenes with 22-year-old Keegan, insisting: "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."
