BBG News

Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas have apparently put their past differences aside and teamed up to support their 16-year-old daughter, Scarlett, on her path to stardom.

Regardless of any past disputes, it appears that the well-known character from Coronation Street, aged 41, and the ex-actor from Corrie, also 40, have united powerfully to stand by their child.

According to a reliable source, it appears that Ryan and Tina have experienced conflicts and differences in opinion throughout the years. However, they are now uniting their efforts and exerting every possible means because they recognize that Scarlett is destined for greatness.

She’s incredibly beautiful and possesses genuine skill. Her TikTok profile is rapidly gaining popularity, and it’s evident that people recognize her potential.

According to the source, both Ryan and Tina share the belief that this opportunity could surpass “Corrie” in scale. They strongly feel that she should pursue a career in Hollywood, which is the only point upon which they find common ground.

TopMob has contacted a representative for Ryan and Tina for comment.

The former couple dated for six years from 2003 to 2009, and welcomed Scarlett in 2008.

According to recent reports, Scarlett Thomas is apparently on track to receive a £2 million salary, as she’s predicted to rise to stardom.

It seems that Tina and Ryan, who are known for their small-screen success, might find themselves overshadowed by their young daughter, who is rapidly making a name for herself in her growing acting career.

According to a source, The Sun reports that Scarlett and her cousin Teddy have ambitious future plans supported by their family, who invest significant time in discussing the optimal strategies for their careers.

Scarlett is generating a stir not just on BBC’s Waterloo Road set, but also on social media platforms. Some industry professionals have predicted that she might earn at least £2 million before she turns 18 years old.

When she turned 14 years old, this promising young actress was soon cast in her debut significant screen role, ultimately landing the character of Izzie Charles within the BBC series titled Waterloo Road.

While appearing on the show, Scarlett acted alongside her uncle, the previous star of Emmerdale, Adam Thomas (age 36).

In the movie, he took on the role of Donte as her on-screen father, whereas his real-life son, Teddy, aged 9 (the one he has with his spouse Caroline Thomas), acted as his on-screen child.

She’s well-liked beyond just digital screens too, as her latest TikTok video has almost racked up three million views among the youth.

She’s garnered more than 165,000 followers on the platform and an additional 138,000 fans on Instagram. Both of these accounts were initiated when she was sixteen years old in October.

Apart from her personal account, she often features on her parents’ social media platforms too. The Thomas family also maintain a separate account of their own.

She is related to renowned figures such as actor Adam, reality TV personality Scott from Love Island, and Lucy Mecklenburgh, who was previously engaged to Ryan on TOWIE.

Her notable relatives include actor Adam, Love Island’s Scott, and Lucy Mecklenburgh, who used to be engaged to Ryan on TOWIE.

Lastly, here is another option: She has famous uncles like actor Adam and Love Island star Scott, as well as Lucy Mecklenburgh, who was once engaged to Ryan on TOWIE.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but gush: It’s undeniably evident that they form a tight-knit unit, masterfully leveraging social media to propel their careers. They seize TikTok trends like a well-oiled machine, and every member showcases an individual flair of talent!

From a public relations standpoint, it was noted that the family’s TikTok videos serve as an outstanding venue for showcasing their skills to a vast multitude of viewers.

She continued by stating: ‘Teddy demonstrates evident skill, and it appears that the children within the family will emulate their father’s careers. Scarlett frequently collaborates in videos with her dad and uncles, displaying her singing and acting abilities. It’s clear that their talent has been passed down to Scarlett from both parents who work in TV. She presents herself as a self-assured and endearing girl, closely bonded with her family.’

Lynn commented: ‘The Thomas family’s videos cleverly use their individual characters and skills, attracting millions of viewers every day. This tactic has brought them more attention than usual TV shows and opened up numerous job prospects for the whole family. I think Scarlett and her young cousin Teddy are set for great opportunities in the entertainment world, and I can imagine Scarlett eventually joining a girl band as she grows older.’

TopMob have contacted Scarlett’s representatives for comment.

It appears that Scarlett’s acting career is thriving, as she has already earned her initial nomination for an award at a young age.

At that moment, Scarlett’s mom, Tina, expressed her pride on Instagram: “I couldn’t be prouder of Scarlett! She’s put in so much effort on Waterloo Road, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing her bring Izzy to life.

Delighted to see her skill acknowledged by @tvtimesmagazine, as they’ve nominated her for an award! #ProudMum

At the same time, his father too posted on Instagram, expressing his joy since his teenage child was now following in his footsteps.

In a video, he expressed: “It’s an incredible moment we’re living in. This evening, at 8pm on BBC One, you’ll see my brother Adam, my nephew Teddy, and my oldest child Scarlett gracing your screens as a family on Waterloo Road.

Discuss an instance where the Thomases felt incredibly proud! That’s quite something. I’m really looking forward to you all experiencing it too. We enjoyed watching it as a family unit.

In the past, Tina and Ryan were known as Coronation Street’s most popular couple. They first crossed paths on the set of the ITV soap opera in 2000, when Ryan started playing the character Jason Grimshaw. Interestingly, Tina had already been cast as Sarah Platt a year earlier.

Ever since Ryan asserted that Tina had destroyed his Range Rover with a baseball bat during a heated argument in the wee hours of 2022, their bond has been under tension.

It emerged that Ryan allegedly accused his ex-partner of causing harm to the wing mirror on his vehicle. At that time, a source pointed out their tumultuous relationship as a possible factor.

Tina got hitched with personal trainer Adam Crofts, but it appears they parted ways around three months back, as they drifted apart. The wedding took place on New Year’s Eve in 2018.

They also share a son together, Beau Lee Stephen, who was born in 2014.

Currently, Ryan is enjoying a loving partnership with television personality Lucy Mecklenburgh, aged 33. They’ve been a couple since their encounter in 2017, which took place on the set of Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls.

In June 2019, the duo became engaged and they have two kids – Roman, who is 4 years old, and their 3-year-old daughter, Lilah.

Ryan is known for playing the role of Jason Grimshaw on the Cobbles from 2000 until 2016.

2018 saw him take on the role of Rafael Humphreys in the popular Australian soap opera “Neighbours,” and he emerged victorious in the 22nd season of “Celebrity Big Brother.

Currently, Tina is most recognized for her role as Sarah Platt in the long-running series “Coronation Street.” She first appeared on the show in 1999, portraying Sarah until 2008, and then reprised her role again in 2015.

Apart from that, she was featured on the BBC One drama series Waterloo Road between 2010 and 2011. It’s hardly unexpected that Scarlett possesses a knack for acting, as it seems to run through her veins.
