Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has hit back at trolls who asked if she’d had a “fat implant”.
The actress – who plays Sarah Platt on the ITV soap – slammed the vile comments after she was trolled over a series of pap pictures.
The shots showed Tina wearing a black vest top and denim shorts while out in Manchester.

The photos were met to a string of nasty comments, with one saying: “Did she get a fat transplant? She should be ashamed of herself.”
In addition, a second added: “She’s got fat.”
After that, another also commented on Tina’s “nice sexy curves”.
The vile remarks certainly go unnoticed by the Corrie star, who later hit back on Instagram.

Tina O’Brien steps back from social media
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Tina took to Instagram to reveal she was stepping back from social media to give herself “a cleansing break”.
The actress, who joined the soap in 1999, hit out at the way the app leads people to compare themselves to “highlight reels” and “filtered” realities.

In a lengthy post, she wrote: “Goodbye you wonderful Instagram using humans and my lovely friends.
“I’m taking a break from social media, I’m sure it won’t be forever but I need a cleansing break.
“I don’t want to scroll through people’s highlight reels and compare myself unfavourably.
“Wonder do I need to post something to validate who I am and what I stand for? Give everyone a filtered version of my best bits (I feel a bit of a fraud).”
Tina is mum to 11-year-old Scarlett who she shares with former co-star Ryan Thomas, and son Beau, five, whose father is husband Adam Crofts.
