Tina O'Brien in TV lesbian drama

Tina O'Brien, who played Coronation Street's Sarah Grimshaw, will turn up next on TV as a lesbian. Tina will soon film her role in a BBC Two drama about the wealthy landowner and diarist Anne Lister, played by Maxine Peake.

Describing the role, Tina said: "It's based on a true story about a woman who wrote all these diaries in code - they decoded them and found out she was a bit of a saucy lesbian and I play one of her love interests."

Tina is also soon to launch a new campaign for household appliances brand Indesit. More here.
