Corrie's Tina: 'I Was Bullied At School'

Tina: from gawky to sportyCorrie beauty Tina O'Brien has revealed she was bullied at school.      

The blonde stunner said she was so gawky and flat-chested that she was regularly taunted by other girls.

And she was even threatened with physical attacks by bullies after they became jealous of her early TV success.      

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Tina said: "I was the last girl in the school to get a bra. I was always the smallest.      

"A guy I used to fancy used to laugh at me and tell everyone: 'She's got no boobs'".      

When she hit our screens in TV hospital drama Children's Ward, things at Manchester's Trinity high school went from bad to worse.      

"My character had eczema, so I had latex scabs all over my face.      

"I was so embarrassed because everyone in school used to watch the show and someone drew my face on the blackboard with all these scabs.      

"There was also the odd bitch saying: 'I'm going to knock you out'".      

Tina now believes she has put those demons behind her.      

Posing in a skimpy bikini with tousled blonde hair, and looking every inch a sex siren, she laughed: "I think some of my school friends would be surprised at how I've turned out."      

Tina is currently promoting her new keep fit video, Coronation Street Funk Fit, made with Corrie co-stars Lucy Jo Hudson and Nikki Sanderson.
