Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien had to quickly change outfits during an impromptu appearance on This Morning.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O' Leary led a special edition of This Morning, held on the Coronation Street set, were seen chatting to Tina, who plays Sarah Barlow and her co-stars Jack P Shepherd and William Roache.
Tina, 39, wore an ankle length blue and white floral skirt, a pink cardigan and white vest for her appearance on the show, but she had to make a last minute change as she said her character's outfit was "so short".
Hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot thanked Tina for making time to chat with them, with the actor saying: "I was meant to be filming a scene but I've been rushed off set just to come and see you guys."
New Great British Bake Off presenter Alison replied: "You're dressed in character!"
Tina replied: "I was dressed in character but the skirt was so short it was a little inappropriate."
The actor has played Sarah since 1999, as a teenager, but last month fans couldn't believe her real age, when Tina revealed she had a birthday coming up.
Telling them she is months away from turning 40, some simply refused to believe it.
Plenty, of course, will still remember the shocking storyline when the troubled tearaway fell pregnant with Bethany just after her 13th birthday in February 2000.
Well, they are both all grown up now - and the actress had some news lots of people struggled to get their heads around.
"I'm turning 40 this year," she on Instagram alongside some age-defying photos.
"Decided it's time to update my seriously outdated headshots for Spotlight.
"A massive thank you to @neilson_photo_actors I’m absolutely over the moon with them.
"I was quite nervous going to the shoot, it’s been quite a time since I’ve done anything like this."
Leanne Battersby actress Jane Danson replied revealing her age.
She said: "Absolutely gorgeous T. Maybe it's time I did mine! I'm 45 this year and mine are a 23-year-old me in black and white."
Her former Coronation Street colleague Catherine Tyldesley joked: "Babe!!! 40?!?! You still look 13!!! gorgeous xxxxx."
Brooke Vincent, Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, told her: "Still look 21."
Fans were quick to comment too.
One told her: "Omg 40 you look 25 !!! Seriously" while another said: "You look incredible!"
Tina landed her role on the soap at the age of 16 when she took over the part from Lynsay King back in 1999.
Nearly 25 years on from stepping foot on the show, life couldn't be better.
She is now happily married to personal trainer Adam Crofts, and the pair have a baby boy called Beau.
Tina co-parents their 13-year-old daughter Scarlett with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas.
The actor also has two other children with fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh.
