Tina O’Brien has admitted that she finds it strange to watch romantic moments between her real life boyfriend and his co-star, Michelle Keegan.

Ryan Thomas, whose character Jason Grimshaw is Tina McIntyre (played by Michelle Keegan) in the soap.

Asked if she gets jealous seeing them together, Tina told MSN: “I definitely don’t get jealous if they’re kissing – that doesn’t really bother me at all – it’s not the nicest thing in the world but I’m certainly not jealous about it.”

She continued: “Sometimes when he says something to her that he’ll say to me for real it’s a bit odd. At the end of the day she’s a really lovely girl. They’re doing a job. What are they supposed to do?”
