Tina O'Brien nearly flashes while performing a drunk headstand without a bra

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien had a close call as she showed off a hidden talent while in lockdown.

The actress managed to spare her blushes at the last minute when she was challenged to perform a headstand during an online competition.

The Corrie favourite skillfully flipped upside down in her loungewear, only to realise that her sweatshirt top was slipping.

In danger of revealing more than she'd like to her audience, Tina dropped back to the floor.

Sharing the video with a jokey tick list on her Instagram, Tina wrote: "Saturday night ... Drunk, PJs, Online headstand competitions, No bra."

"Ooo nearly," commented her co-star Alexandra Mardell, who plays Emma Brooker.

And she commented about the move: "Great head stand!! Xxx"

"Hahahaahaha," laughed Lucy Fallon, who played her on-screen daughter Bethany Platt.

"Haha good work!!" praised Samia Longchambon who plays Maria Connor in Corrie.

"Well done, nearly had a mishap," a fan told Tina, who coloured her hair pink while staying at home.

Tina, 36, plays newlywed Sarah Barlow in the soap.

She is married to Adam Crofts and she has a five-year-old son Beau with Adam and an 11-year-old daughter Scarlett with her ex Ryan Thomas.

Coronation Street stopped filming last month amid the coronavirus crisis.

Half hour episodes were reduced to three a week instead of six to keep the long-running show on our screens as long as possible.
