Tina O’Brien called out a paparazzi for taking her picture and even had people who’ve never seen Corrie cheering
Soap news now – what is this, Heat magazine? – and Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien who was less than impressed to see a bloke taking her picture while she was out and about minding her own business.
She gave him a piece of her mind – a hand signal, strictly speaking – and the paparazzi got the hump quicker than you can say snowflake.
The actress posted the clip on her Instagram stories and it later went viral on Twitter …
Tina O’Brien giving a pap the wanker sign. So real of her. Clock him!!
Just coz she’s on Corrie doesn't mean she’s public property. It’s pathetic that people think being in the entertainment industry gives everyone the right to invade every aspect of a celebrity’s life.

“Why’d you call me a wanker” probably because you’re a fucking wanker mate

One thing I've never understood is why do we need to see pictures of celebs walking down the street, like what's the point of the photo? Does anyone actually enjoy seeing pictures of people walking to a shop?

To conclude …
On the flip side if the lardy cameraman doesn't like people making disparaging gestures he could go and work in Tesco. https://t.co/7Uisx8H0Qd
