Tina O'Brien to play Cinderella

When she quits Coronation Street as Sarah Platt, Tina O'Brien has lined up some work already - in panto. She's not the first Corrie actor this year who's signed up to do panto, there's another already  here too.  Tina will be starring in Cinderella at the Manchester Opera House and reportedly being paid £5,000 per week. A source told The Sun: "It's not exactly the new acting challenge Tina was looking for, but they offered a lot of money. And she’s never been able to do panto before because Corrie bans its stars from doing it.”
