Ryan Thomas: Tina O’Brien had the perfect labour

Actress delivered her daughter in under 3 hours

Tina O'Brien and Ryan Thomas met on set of Coronation Street

Tina O’Brien gave birth without any painkillers, her partner Ryan Thomas has revealed.

The former Coronation Street star, 25, delivered daughter Scarlett last month in just 2½ hours.

‘It was the perfect labour – no gas and air, no epidural,’ Ryan reveals.

‘She was just on all fours going for it. She was glowing afterwards.

'Any man that reckons he's on the same level as a woman after having a baby can forget it. I don't think a man could deal with that.’

Ryan, 24, admits he was wary about comforting the new mum when she was in pain.

‘Just don’t touch a woman in labour unless you want trouble. I did once and Tina looked at me like she was going to bite my hand off!’ he tells OK!.

The couple got together in 2004 when they played on-screen couple Jason Grimshaw and Sarah-Louise Platt in the ITV1 soap.
