Coronation Street favourite Tina O'Brien has shared an insight into her fun-packed family holiday in the sun. The Sarah Barlow actress was a world away from the drama of the Underworld factory as she enjoyed a sunshine getaway in Turkey.
Tina shared snaps and video on her Instagram of her holiday with husband Adam Crofts, 14-year-old daughter Scarlett and eight-year-old son Beau. And it appeared they had an idyllic break as she shared images of the family making memories together.
Fans pointed out that Scarlett is a 'mini version' of Tina, 39. The teen is following in her famous mum's footsteps by appearing in the reboot of the BBC school drama Waterloo Road set in Greater Manchester, which will return to our screens early next year.

Back in 2012 Tina played Bex Fisher, the daughter of Waterloo Road headteacher Karen Fisher played by Amanda Burton. Scarlett, her daughter with her ex Ryan Thomas, has joined the show as Izzie Charles.
Izzie is the daughter of one of the show's original characters Donte Charles, played by Scarlett's real-life uncle Adam Thomas, and Katie Griffith's character Chlo Charles. Adam's son Teddy, eight, is also joining his dad and cousin Scarlett on Waterloo Road playing Donte's son Tommy.
Adam previously said about working with Scarlett on their first scenes together: "My very first day back @waterlooroad …not only was it my first day, but it was my first scene with my lil niece @scarlettjthomas26. "Am just in awe of this girl, could watch her all day every day! …can not wait for you guys to see her in action! "What a special day. Waterloo Road is back."
Tina's Coronation Street character Sarah recently had a tough time on the soap after her husband Adam Barlow was targeted by his bunny boiler ex Lydia Chambers. But the couple have since got their relationship back on track after their stalking nightmare.
It was Scarlett who introduced her famous mum to her future husband when, as a toddler, she strolled up to Adam in a Starbucks and said 'hello man.' In 2019 Tina told us that Scarlett was keen to work in musical theatre. She 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."
