Tina, 62, rose to fame playing Mo McGee in the hit soap, Brookside from 1993 for five years.

She also appeared in the sixth series of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 4 in 2009.

The actress was at the centre of a media storm after her husband Paul Chase committed suicide in March of last year.

In October 2019, the pair announced their separation but they were later reconciled by February 2020.

However, the Celebs on the Farm star opened up about her husband’s death in a new podcast interview.

She appeared on The Lewis Nicholls Show podcast on YouTube for a candid chat about her life.

However, she broke down in tears when the presenter asked her about her now late husband.

A promo trailer for the chat showed the Celebrity Masterchef star crying her eyes out.

She explained in the clip: “My husband fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, Northern Ireland.

“He went from Belize to Cyprus, and he had a wonderful life in the army. But 4.8 veterans take their own lives in the UK every week.

She added: “You never hear about it and it needs to change now.”

The Shameless star opened up on the hard events that have impacted her life, including her eight-month suspended prison sentence.

“Now legally, I committed a crime. What I did was wrong and illegal, and I ended up in the High Court, the equivalent to the Old Bailey.

“The Attorney General summoned me to court, it went global, for contempt of court.

“Saw a picture of who’s in witness protection for the last 30 years, and I just shared it, along with 2 million other people, [I] didn’t comment.

She added: “But yeah, I ended up that high court with an eight month suspended prison sentence for two years and a large, large fine and costs.

“[I regret it] absolutely, totally and utterly.”
