Corrie's Tina accepts panto role
Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien has signed up to play Cinderella in a Christmas panto.

The actress accepted a £5,000-per-week deal from the Manchester Opera House shortly after announcing that she was quitting her role as Sarah Platt this week.

A source told The Sun: "It's not exactly the new acting challenge Tina was looking for, but they offered a lot of money. And she's never been able to do panto before because Corrie bans its stars from doing it."
