Former Coronation street star and mother Tina O' Brien is putting her name behind the Big Toddle, a charity event arranged by Barnardo's.

Ms O'Brien gave birth to her own beautiful baby girl Scarlett last October, and now wants to encourage parents to get involved in the fun family event which is aimed at the under fives.

The event will spread all around the UK and features walks for parents and toddlers at Dudley and Chester Zoo's, as well as many other locations around the country.

More than half a million youngsters took part in the Big Toddle last year which takes place annually during June and July.

Former lads magazine model O Brien has vowed not to do anymore sexy photoshoots after the birth of her first child, telling Take 5 magazine "Not now that I'm a mum. I don't regret doing them, though. Maybe I could even show Scarlett one day."

Tina played Sarah Platt in 331 episodes of Coronation Street between 1999 and 2008.
