The mum of two looked stunning in a pink cardigan, white vest top and blue floral-print skirt.

Tina told hosts Dermot O'Leary, 49, and Alison Hammond, 48, of her clothing dilemma and said: "I was meant to be filming a scene but I've been rushed off set just to come and see you guys."

Alison replied: "You're dressed in character!" to which Tina replied: “I was dressed in character but the skirt was so short it was a little inappropriate.”

Tina has played Sarah Platt since 1999, after joining the ITV soap when she was 16.

"Colin is such a lovely, warm, chatty guy. He put me at ease the second I met him, genuinely feel like I’ve known him for years!!

"This isn’t an advert I’m just super pleased. Thank you so much Colin you really understand what an actor is looking for in their headshot and I just think your lighting is heaven."
