Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien, 41, 'finds love again with new man' after split from husband of seven years Adam Crofts
Coronation Street 's Tina O'Brien has reportedly 'found love again' following her split from her husband of seven years, Adam Crofts. The man in question, who bears a striking resemblance to her estranged husband, is allegedly an interior designer named Adam Fadlé, 38. According to The Sun, the pair met through friends in their home town of Cheshire and have been on a string of dates. A source told the publication: 'Tina fell out of love with one Adam and then fell in love with another. 'She's been on a few dates with him and they've been very open with their relationship. They were out last week snogging like teenagers and they've been seen walking her dog by locals. 'Tina looked totally mad for Adam and they couldn't keep their hands off each other.' MailOnline has contacted Tina's representatives for comment. The report adds that Fadlé studied architecture before opening his interior design business in 2010. The source added that Tina and Fadlé are currently keeping their relations 'low-key'. In recent days, Tina was reportedly partying and letting her hair down as a single woman in the wake of her split from Crofts. It was revealed last month that the Corrie star had split from her husband after weeks of speculation. The estranged couple, who share ten-year-old son Beau, are said to be 'on good terms' for the sake of their son but their differing lifestyles reportedly drove them apart. Tina is making the most of being a single woman and despite being upset that things didn't work with Crofts, she is getting out and about with friends. A source told The Sun: 'Last weekend she really let her hair down at Colson Smith's party and made sure she looked incredible. 'Tina looks amazing and has no shortage of male attention - her recent bikini snaps certainly caught a few eyes though.' Tina met Crofts in a Manchester coffee shop in 2011 and the couple tied the knot in a surprise NYE ceremony in 2018. The star - who plays Sarah Platt in the ITV show - first sparked split rumours when she shared a photograph of herself at co-star Colson Smith's leaving party in Manchester. Taking to Instagram, Tina cut a glamorous figure in a red mini dress and posed with a bare ring finger on display, just weeks after jetting off on holiday without Crofts. She further fuelled the speculation as she was seen with a notably bare finger while out for a cup of tea in Cheshire. Friends then revealed the split as they said: 'Tina and Adam have ended their relationship and are spending some time apart. 'They moved house at Christmas and have decided to live separately for the time being. The insider told The Sun: 'Adam and Tina lead very different lives - he is really into his fitness, while she really enjoys going out with her mates and having a dance, which just isn't for him. 'It wasn't an issue at first because they were head over heels, but as the kids have started to grow up it's become more noticeable. Adam likes a quiet life and unfortunately that just isn't Tina.'

Coronation Street fans gobsmacked as Sean star's mum outed as co-star in soap
Coronation Street viewers have been left stunned after discovering the identity of Anthony Cotton's famous mother. Anthony catapulted to stardom when he joined the long-running ITV soap, which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland, way back in 2003 as Sean Tully, who has since become one of the show's most iconic and cherished characters. The Rovers Return barman has also been involved in several major storylines over the years - from his numerous failed romances on the cobbles to becoming a father to Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne). However, Coronation Street fans have recently been taken aback upon realising that Anthony's mum had previously appeared on the same soap. His adored mother, Enid Dunn, starred on the show a year before her son in 2002. She portrayed Dennis Stringer's (Charles Dale) aunt Joan Lawson in January 2002 at the character's funeral, reports Leicestershire Live. She then made another appearance on Corrie in 2006 in a minor role, this time playing a character credited as Old Crone. She also played a woman who encountered the serial killer John Stape (Graeme Hawley) and she made another appearance in 2014 as bingo player Maureen Rothwell. She played bingo winner Maureen in Corrie in 2014 (Image: ITV) Her last stint on the soap was in 2023, when she played a shocked neighbour of Stephen Reid's (Todd Boyce) victim, Rufus Donaghue (Steven Meo). In addition to Corrie, Enid appeared in shows such as Shameless, Cutting It and No Offence. She also played barmaid Joyce in the fan favourite Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights. Coronation Street's Anthony Cotton has been the centre of fan astonishment as they discovered that his mother, Enid Dunn, was not just a supportive parent but also a bit of a telly star in her own right. On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, alongside a snapshot of the mother-son duo, a fan posted: "Anthony Cotton and his mum Enid Dunn." His mum appeared on the soap too Another quipped: "She used to be Phoenix Nights yeah?!" A third confirmed: "Yes and Corrie a few times as well!" Someone else penned: "Oh yeah I remember her from Phoenix Nights." A fourth declared: "Well I didn't know that!" In a candid 2021 chat, Anthony shared a heartwarming story with Express about how his mother's actions kept his acting dreams alive after several unsuccessful auditions. Discouraged, he recounted, "I said, 'Oh I think I'm going to do something else' so my mum took up drama lessons with my old drama teacher to prove to me that it's never too late to start and it's just about putting yourself out there." He continued, detailing his mother's dedication: "And then, she did it, she went to some lessons, she got herself an agent and then she auditioned for a League of The Gentleman and she got it." Inspiringly concluding, "She started when she was 56! My mum is inspirational." Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on Virgin Media in Ireland.

Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien moves on after marriage ends & new man has striking similarity to her ex
CORONATION Street star Tina O'Brien has found love again — with another Adam. Pals say she is dating interior designer Adam Fadlé, just four months after the end of her marriage to personal trainer Adam Crofts. 4 4 The pair were understood to have met through friends in Cheshire where they both live. A source said: ' Tina fell out of love with one Adam and then fell in love with another. 'She's been on a few dates with him and they've been very open with their relationship. 'They were out last week snogging like teenagers and they've been seen walking her dog by locals. ' Tina looked totally mad for Adam and they couldn't keep their hands off each other.' Tina, 41, who has played Sarah Platt on the ITV soap in two stints over 26 years, split up with 40-year-old Adam No1 in March. The pair, married for six years, have son Beau. Tina also has a 16-year-old daughter, Scarlett, from her relationship with ex-Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas. Pals said Tina and Adam, who met in 2011, grew apart. A source added: 'Tina and Adam are on good terms, they're still close and are committed to being a family, even if they're not together.' Adam No2, aged 38, studied architecture before opening his interior design business in 2010. Tina O'Brien has split from hubby as pals reveal what tore them apart The website for Panoramic Properties boasts the firm is 'recognised internationally as one of the leading design studios in the industry'. A pal added: 'Tina has confided in her friends that she's dating Adam. They're keeping it low-key at the moment but around Cheshire they're being seen together all the time. They make a lovely couple.' Tina first appeared as Sarah in 1999 and a year later, aged 17, won Most Popular Newcomer at the National Television Awards. She was also Best Soap Newcomer in the TV Quick Awards. She left in 2008 but returned in 2015 and is one of Corrie 's most popular stars. In April Tina signed to stay on for another year. And it was revealed her character had some big storylines coming up — including a romance with cop Kit Green, played by Jacob Roberts. 4 Tina O'Brien and Adam Crofts' split timeline We exclusively revealed in March Tina O'Brien and Adam Crofts had split following a number of signs the pair's seven-year marriage was in trouble. In the days leading up to our story, Tina was pictured without her wedding ring on before taking steps to cover her ring finger amid speculation over their relationship. A month before the split was confirmed, Tina went to Barbados without Adam — instead taking her 16-year-old daughter she shares with former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas, 40. A source said at the time: 'The couple moved house at Christmas and it was a stressful time. 'They have been on separate holidays and it cemented for them that they want to be on their own. 'Everyone is hoping they can work it out but it's not looking likely.' In the run-up to Christmas Adam's wearable tech business went into administration and he left the company. He was a co-founder of Prevayl, a sportswear brand that has previously been endorsed by the likes of England footballer Declan Rice. Insiders had hoped their time apart would allow them to work through their issues but that hasn't been the case.
