Corrie star Tina O'Brien shows off her daughter's phenomenal singing voice

Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien has been a favourite on the Weatherfield cobbles since 1999, and her talent clearly runs in the family.

The actress, who plays Sarah Platt, couldn't resist sharing her daughter's incredible singing voice with fans.

She joked that Scarlett would probably 'kill' her for sharing a video of her performing for fun in their kitchen at home.

But she made the right call because the praise came flooding in from followers saying she's bound to be a star.

Tina, 37, posted a video on her Instagram of 12-year Scarlett singing the Freya Ridings tearjerker Lost Without You, and her followers were floored by her voice.

"She is phenomenal that control and beautiful tone at such a young age wow," said former Hollyoaks actress Sophie Austin.

Lucy-Jo Hudson, who played Katy Harris in Corrie, said: "What a gorgeous little voice wow T she is gonna be a little star xxx

"Wow! She is incredible," commented Nikki Sanderson who played Candice Stowe in Corrie and plays Maxine Minniver in the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks.

"I love the sound of her voice. Huge talent there," said another follower.

"Such a beautiful singer! She'll be as good as Ariana Grande soon, I'm telling ya!" praised another.

Another follower told Tina: "She’s got an absolutely stunning voice.

"Wow!!! Star in the making x" exclaimed another.

Doting mum Tina shared the video with the words: "She’s going to probably kill me for posting this but I’m so proud of her and her beautiful voice.

"I could listen to her sing 24hrs a day.

"The sound is bad, we’re in the kitchen with the dogs and the tumble dryer.

"But still I think she’s amazing considering she’s just singing here for fun nothing planned or organised and only 12 years old."

Scarlett is Tina's daughter with her ex Ryan Thomas, who played Jason Grimshaw in Corrie.

Tina also has a six-year-old son Beau with her husband Adam Crofts.

Last year Scarlett wowed Ryan by belting out With You from Ghost The Musical for him on Father's Day.

"Best Father's Day present love her," he wrote as he shared the video of her powerful performance on his Instagram stories.

In 2019 Tina told us that Scarlett, one of the talented children who attend Drama MOB, a drama school and casting agency launched by her Tina and her best friend Esther Morgan in 2013, is keen to become a singer and work in musical theatre.

Tina told us: "From the age of three she started singing so she started singing before she showed any interest in acting.

"She used to say 'I don't really fancy the acting but I like the singing' and she used to sing Castle On A Cloud from Les Mis.

"A teacher sent me a video of her singing it and I thought 'oh my gosh she's actually really quite good.'

"She's got a lovely singing voice."
