Coronation Street actress Tina O'Brien thinks she is too young for marriage.

The star's character Sarah Platt is currently planning her wedding to Jason Grimshaw, played by Tina's real-life boyfriend Ryan Thomas, but in real life she is happy to take things slowly.

"Sarah is too young to be getting married," Tina told the Sunday Mirror. "In her head she's doing it for the right reasons. She's had a baby and feels older than her years. She really loves Jason and she wants the stability of marriage and family life.

"But she's only 19 - and I wouldn't want to get married until I'm a lot older. I'm happy and content in my life and don't need anything else. I'm not anti-marriage, but it is a big thing and I'd want to wait a while before committing to it."
