Corrie star Ryan Thomas 'accuses ex Tina O'Brien of smashing car wing mirror with bat in 1am row'

Coronation Street exes Ryan Thomas and Tina O'Brien reportedly got in a row resulting in Tina smashing Ryan's car wing mirror with a baseball bat.

The 1am altercation is said to have taken place in the early hours last Sunday, according to The Sun.

Ryan and Tina share a 13-year-old daughter after meeting on Corrie and dating for six years.

Their fractured relationship reportedly means they barely speak anymore and the row erupted after tensions "boiled over", The Mirror reported.

A source told the publication: "Tina, who was at a pal's house party, came out into the street to meet him as he drove up. Soon after that his car was damaged with the baseball bat."

Reportedly, paintwork from Ryan's Range Rover had scratched and the wing mirror had been "smashed off" during the row.

The insider described it as "quite a disturbing incident" and that Ryan drove away as soon as he could and that Ryan is furious.

It is believed that Ryan has since taken the vehicle to be repaired.

The Mirror has contacted Tina and Ryan's reps for comment.

Tina and Ryan first began dating in 2003 after splitting from co-star Bruno Langley and said at the time: "We'll be together for ever, fingers crossed. I can't see myself with anyone else."

However, their own romance followed that of their characters' doomed one as Tina's Sarah was jilted at the altar by mechanic Jason, played by Ryan.

The couple split in 2009 after Tina claimed that Ryan told her he no longer loved her and she said that she was "devastated".

Tina since went on to fall in love with Adam Crofts in 2016, who she went on to wed in 2018 and even invited Ryan to the wedding.

Meanwhile, Ryan fell in love with Lucy Mecklenburgh, who he is expecting his second child with, after they met on Bear Grylls' Celebrity Island in 2017.

However, fans suspected there might be a rift brewing between the two former flames after Ryan and Lucy announced that they were expecting another child.

At the same time, she shared a cryptic message on Instagram, which read: "Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar."

She went on to delete the message, replacing it with: "Don't waste your time with explanations. People will hear what they want to hear."

Ryan and Tina's reps declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
