Ryan Thomas’s daughter Scarlett celebrates her 16th birthday – but Corrie star mum is missing amid feud
RYAN Thomas’s daughter Scarlett was treated to a boujee birthday celebration for her sweet 16 - but her famous mum was noticeably absent.
The ex Coronation Street stars' relationship is still tense since Ryan accused Tina of smashing up his Range Rover with a baseball bat in 2022.
Despite their daughter turning 16 years old, the former lovers were unable to put their differences aside - instead having separate bashes for the teenager.
An insider told The Sun: “Scarlett had her party at Barca Bar in Manchester last night.
"Her dad Ryan was there keeping an eye on things, but mum Tina was nowhere to be seen.
"Ryan paid for and organised it, but because things are still tense between them Tina gave it a miss - nobody wanted a showdown.”

However another insider said Tina did intend to pop in but Corrie filming overran.
Ryan organised a party bus to take Waterloo Road star Scarlett and her friends to Barca Bar in Manchester last night.
He revealed Scarlett had banned him from the bash he threw for her because he's "too embarrassing".
"I'm actually gutted I'm not allowed on," admitted Ryan.

However, he managed to convince his friend Zak to hop aboard the party bus in a hi-vis jacket to keep an eye on the teenagers.
Meanwhile Ryan was banned from entering the venue and instead waited outside spying on his daughter.
"Any other dads have anxiety at their daughter's 16th birthday when they're not allowed in?
"I'm keeping an eye on what's going on.
"There's a group of lads there... Hmm, we'll see."
Tina, who first played Sarah on the cobbles in 1999, began dating Ryan in 2003 after she split from Corrie actor Bruno Langley, who played Ryan's on-screen brother Todd Grimshaw.
Ryan dated Tina for six years before their shock break up in 2009 - a year after Scarlett's birth.
She said at the time: “He said he didn’t love me any more."
"Those were his words," she added.
They managed to co-parent while Scarlett got older, but in 2019, after Ryan and his now-fiancee Lucy announced they were expecting their first child, Tina appeared to reignite their feud.
She posted: "Don't always trust what you see on social media. Even salt looks like sugar."
She later deleted the post, before writing: "Don't waste your time with explanations. People will hear what they want to hear."
Then in 2022, Ryan accused Tina of smashing up his Range Rover with a baseball bat.

A source told The Sun at the time: "Ryan doesn't want any more drama with Tina and was left really shaken up by her actions.
“But he wants her to right the wrong when it comes to the cost he was saddled with. This incident has caused a huge amount of tension but Ryan wants to move on."
