Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien has taken fans by surprise as she shared a rare social media post featuring her son, Beau.
The actress, who is famed for playing Sarah Platt in the ITV soap, took to Instagram where she shared a video of the pair heading on a mother and son outing to partake in a fun game of bowling.
Tina and Beau were seen heading to Hollywood Bowl in Liverpool, with the venue on Edge Lane having recently undergone a major £2.1m renovation.
To celebrate, Tina and her son were invited down to see what the ten-pin bowling alley had to offer and was heard giving her verdict in the video posted to her Instagram account.

Alongside the post, the soap star wrote: "Bowling’s always been a family favourite and @hollywoodbowluk Liverpool Edge Lane didn’t disappoint.
"We had such a fun night. From the arcades to the food and, of course, the bowling. Me and Beau absolutely loved it, and we’ll definitely be back soon."
And fans were quick to respond, as some were taken aback by Tina's youthful appearance. @margaret.mulligan.739 said: "You look like brother and sister there. You look so bloody good. Can't believe your in your early forties."
@jameseccollins commented: "Look amazing Tina." @tinaob83.fanpage wrote: "Looks like you both had fun hope you had a brilliant time." @evenslisamarie added: "Looks amazing Tina."
Tina is a proud mum to two children, 16-year-old Scarlett Thomas, who she shares with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas, and Beau who she welcomed with husband Adam Crofts in 2014.
Taking to social media a couple of years ago, Tina explained why fans may not see her two children regularly appearing on her social media page.
"My little lady getting all grown up," she said of Waterloo Road actress Scarlett, before adding: "I don't post often about my S&B. I'll only post what they are happy to share and is comfortable for them."
And it's not the first time she's got those sort of comments in response to her posts. At the end of May, Tina was seen attending the British Soap Awards alongside her actress daughter.
Tina stunned in a sheer gold dress at the bash with her hair styled into voluminous curls. She was joined by Waterloo Road star daughter Scarlett, 16, for the event and she looked equally as glamorous with her own curly do, while sporting a classic black dress boasting a sweetheart neckline.
Taking to Instagram, Tina posted pictures of herself posing up a storm for the cameras, as well as photos of herself and Scarlett doing the same.
Alongside the post, the soap star wrote: "Glamming it up. Always happy if I’m with @scarlettjthomas26. At the #hackneyempire with @coronationstreet for @thebritishsoapawards."
And it didn't take long for the comments to come flooding in. Corrie co-star Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer Spellman, said: "So so stunning!" Maria Windass actress Samia Longchambon commented: "Beautiful girls."
Tina's on-screen daughter Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, simply responded with a string of love heart eyes emojis while Betsy Swain star Sydney Martin gushed: "The most gorgeous pair!" Claire Sweeney, who plays Cassie Plummer, also shared: "Beautiful."
Fans were also quick to respond, with many distracted by Tina's ageless appearance. @staceyhorton_ said: "Beautiful." @patriciagleave commented: "Wow look at you two."

So much alike." @lydia_wheeldon1 joked: "You literally don’t age, are you a vampire." @aristocatch added: "You seriously don't look old enough to have a daughter that age!"
