Coronation Street fans terrified for Sarah Platt’s future on soap after video of Tina O’Brien breaking up street brawl
CORONATION Street fans have been left terrified that Tina O’Brien could be left facing the axe from the soap after a shocking video was released of her involved in a street brawl outside her home.
The Sun shared the exclusive video of the Sarah Platt actress embroiled in the brawl where she tried to break up a fight between teenagers before throwing punches herself.
The concerning footage was filmed on the road where Tina, 40, lives and has sent shockwaves among Coronation Street fans.
Long-time viewers of the ITV soap have been left worried for the star’s future on the programme as a result of the footage.
It has sparked debate online amongst Corrie lovers if the actress will be able to keep her job or if an exit for Sarah Platt is ‘sealed’.
Despite having just signed a new 12-month contract with the show, fans have been left debating whether the explosive video has placed her big-money TV role in jeopardy.
Reacting with concern, a slew of comments appeared online that feared the actress could be “sacked” from the show or even forced to take a break from filming as a result of the video.
In the clip, the 5ft 1in actress, 40, threw punches and put one in a headlock — but was also hit and had her hair pulled.
The actress rushed out of her £1million home wearing pink jogging bottoms as violence flared outside.
Shocking footage then sees the star trading blows on the street in a posh Manchester suburb.
A source told The Sun last night: “Tina came out to break things up — but ended up joining in. At one point, it ended up three-on-one with Tina and two girls against this other lass.
“She was throwing punches and also took a few blows herself.
“Watching her on Coronation Street, you wouldn’t think in a million years she’d get involved in something like this, especially in such a public place.”
A fight was believed to have broken out among two groups of teenage girls near Tina’s home in Bramhall, where she was understood to have been plagued by problems.
Video obtained by The Sun then shows the actress grabbing one and telling her: “Get away from the f****** house.”
A separate clip shows Tina confront another youngster, said to be aged around 15.
The actress, who plays Sarah Barlow on the ITV soap, can be heard saying: “Stop, I just said ‘Stop’.” As the girl kicks out at another teen, Tina grabs her, hits her and puts her in a headlock.
Tina, wearing a stripey top, is then punched and has her hair pulled before another teen joins in the brawl.
The star and two others are also seen pushing a girl up against a VW.
