Tina O’Brien: I’ve struggled to lose my baby weight

Actress says she just wanted to slob out

Tina O'Brien and Ryan Thoman got together in 2004

Tina O’Brien hired a personal trainer to get her post-baby figure back.

The former Coronation Street actress and partner Ryan Thomas, 24, had daughter Scarlett in October.

And Tina was determined to slim down as soon as possible.

‘My trainer was fantastic because it’s not easy on your own,’ she admits. ‘Especially in winter.

'At first, the last thing I wanted to do was get fit and lose weight, and with Christmas coming up I could have happily just sat and slobbed out. But I met Paul and he really got me geered up.’

Tina, 25, admits she found it hard to accept her generous curves.

‘You just feel frumpy, and you’re in a transitional period being a mum,’ she tells OK!

‘Your life become totally devoted to your child, which is amazing feeling, but because of that you end up sitting in your slobs covered in sick.’
