Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has split from boyfriend Adam Fadlé, The Daily Mail can reveal.
The soap actress, 42, began dating the millionaire interior designer over the summer, with the pair going public when they attended her co-star Jack P. Shepherd’s wedding in July.
However, insiders say Tina, who plays Sarah Platt on Coronation Street, ended the romance after admitting it ‘wasn’t going anywhere’ and that she didn’t want to invest energy in something ‘that was never going to last.’
Friends claim her blunt assessment left Adam, 38, ‘stunned’, as he believed the relationship had real potential and relished the time they spent together.
Tina was firm about the split, removing all photos of the couple from her Instagram, including snaps from a romantic September holiday to Greece, making it clear the whirlwind fling had ended.
The relationship came just months after the collapse of her seven-year marriage to ex-husband Adam Crofts, with the pair reportedly parting ways over last Christmas.

A friend told The Daily Mail: ‘Tina loved being with Adam, it was exactly what she needed after her marriage ended.
‘They had fun together, and he was refreshingly different from her previous partners.
‘But she soon realised her heart wasn’t fully in it and didn’t want to invest in something she knew deep down wasn’t going anywhere.
‘Adam was disappointed, as he felt differently, but accepted it when Tina deleted all their photos from Instagram.’
Tina and Adam, who is four years her junior, met through mutual friends in Cheshire and quickly hit it off after a few dates.
A source said their romance got off to a fiery start, with the pair even ‘acting like teenagers’ around each other.
An insider revealed earlier this year: ‘Tina fell out of love with one Adam and then fell in love with another. She’s been on a few dates with him and they’ve been very open with their relationship.
‘They were out last week snogging like teenagers and they’ve been seen walking her dog by locals. Tina looked totally mad for Adam and they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.’
The Daily Mail contacted a representative for Tina and Adam for comment.

The actress had recently divorced her ex-husband and wasn’t expecting to find love so soon, but described Adam to friends as the perfect remedy for her heartbreak.
Interiors guru Adam, reportedly a millionaire, studied architecture before launching his interior design business in 2010.
Speaking to Manchester Evening News in 2022, he revealed that he had worked with Cristiano Ronaldo to design properties for the football star during his time at Manchester United, after one of Adam’s clients rented a home to the Portuguese athlete.
Of working with Ronaldo, he said: ‘Obviously Ronaldo’s huge and he’s got the most followers on Instagram in the world so you can’t really get much bigger than him.
‘We now deal with Ronaldo directly and make sure that he’s looked after and everything is catered for him in his Manchester property.
‘We also work with a lot of captains of industry, which extends to a couple of billionaires. We’ve got some fantastic clients and we get to do some amazing, exciting projects all over the world where we can push the boat out in terms of our bespoke designs.’

Tina split from her husband, Adam Crofts, 39, in March after seven years of marriage.
They share a son, Beau, 10, who is stepbrother to her 17-year-old daughter, Scarlett, from her previous relationship with former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas.
Former soap couple Tina and Ryan were together from 2003 to 2009 and share daughter Scarlett, who is now carving out a name for herself as an actress on Waterloo Road.
The teen has also built an online following thanks to videos with her father Ryan and his famous brothers, Adam and Scott, as well as her own singing talent.
Ryan is in a relationship with former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh, and the couple have two children together, Roman and Lilah.
