Coronation Street actress Tina O’Brien appears to have reignited her feud with ex Ryan Thomas, calling out a “narcissistic dad” in a now-deleted Instagram story.
The soap star, 40, said she “resonates deeply” with a quote she shared on her social media profile that referred to a “tyrannical narcissistic father” who is also a “bully” and a “cruel lying arrogant person”.
She added alongside the upload on Thursday evening: ‘Luckily not my father… but a father I know very well… resonates deeply.’
It is believed that Tina’s Instagram story is not about her husband Adam Crofts, whom she married in 2018.
Tina’s quote describes a father who is “completely entrenched in his grandiose world” and “insists that everyone follow his orders.”
