Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas are said to be embroiled in a bitter feud – but what has gone down?
The two stars first met way back in 2003, when they appeared on ITV’s Coronation Street. They went on to welcome daughter Scarlett, 16, in 2008 but ended up splitting a year later in 2009.
However, in recent weeks, Waterloo Road actress Scarlett sparked controversy online after revealing she didn’t sit her GCSE exams – with dad Ryan wading in to support her.
And now, it’s been claimed that Tina is “beyond raging” about the situation… Here, ED! is taking a look inside their toxic feud.

Tina O’Brien and Ryan Thomas’ ‘feud’
It appears that Tina and Ryan have very rarely seen eye to eye following their public split in 2009.
But now it’s been claimed that the reason things are not good between the pair currently is down to their difference in opinion about how to raise teen daughter Scarlett.
According to sources, Tina is not happy about Ryan giving Scarlett an early taste of the showbiz world. Whereas she is said to want Scarlett to get a good education.
Tina wanted Scarlett to stay on the straight and narrow.
What’s more, two years ago, Scarlett left her £20,000 per year school in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, reportedly “under a cloud”.
And the decision no doubt didn’t go down well with Tina – who is now reportedly “beyond raging” over Ryan appearing to put Scarlett’s education on the back burner in favour of prioritising her showbiz career.
“Tina wanted Scarlett to stay on the straight and narrow. She is the strict one while Ryan seems to like his daughter’s life in the limelight,” a source told MailOnline.
They went on to claim that Tina has been “so wary” of Scarlett being called a “nepo baby” and ideally wanted the teen to “find her own way” and that includes getting “the education to help her”.
