While boyfriend Ryan Thomas was 70 miles away in Manchester filming his role as Jason Grimshaw in Corrie, Tina was enjoying her time off with a flutter at the horses.

The actress, who played Weatherfield gymslip mum Sarah-Louise Platt for eight years, is four months pregnant with her first child.

Dressed in a star-print black and white dress and black shawl to keep off the chilly breeze, an overexcited Tina yelled with joy when one of her horses came first past the post.

Tina quit the soap in December 2007 with her character Sarah-Louise and daughter Bethany leaving the cobbles to start a new life in Milan, Italy.

Since leaving, Tina has played Cinderella in a Manchester panto production and will guest role in an upcoming episode of ITV crime drama Blue Murder.
