She sent fans wild back in January when she was seen on the Coronation Street cobbles for the first time in years - but fans of the ITV soap shouldn’t expect Brooke Vincent to return to the street full-time any time soon.
The actress is famed for playing Sophie Webster and, while she is no longer under contract with the ITV soap, the door has been left open for her character to return after Sophie left in the back of a taxi in October 2019.
Her exit from Weatherfield came ahead of the birth of her first child, Mexx, who was born in October, 2019. Then, in May 2021, Brooke gave birth to her second son, Monroe, with her footballer fiancé Kean Bryan.

Asked about returning to Corrie back in August 2021, Brooke said: "I’m just being a mum and getting myself back and trying to get us into a routine and focusing on them. It’s kind of a decision that we made as a family and it’s just nice to have that special time with them without having major distractions."
And, speaking exclusively to the Manchester Evening News after her first big job since leaving the long-running show was announced, 30-year-old Brooke was honest about how the soap’s busy schedule doesn’t fit in with her life right now.
It comes as Brooke has admitted she’s ‘nervous’ but can’t wait to get stuck in, as she swaps the small screen for the airwaves by joining the team at Hits Radio. The Audenshaw-born star was this week announced as the new host for Hits Radio’s evening show, covering for Gemma Atkinson whilst she takes a break to have her baby.
The news follows speculation about who was to fill in for Gemma - due to give birth to her second child, a baby boy, with Strictly Come Dancing
