Brooke Vincent looked incredible as she celebrated her 33rd birthday with a holiday to Santorini, Greece.
The actress, who played Sophie Webster in Coronation Street, wore a plunging bikini top for the Instagram update.
Sharing a series of selfies from the beach, she posed beneath a straw umbrella with the wind in her hair.
Brooke went makeup free for the snaps, accessorised her bikini with layers of necklaces and styled her hair into waves.
'Another year around the sun on the look out for some garage music,' she wrote.

Brooke played Sophie Webster in Coronation Street from 2004 to 2019 and made up one half of the soap's first ever lesbian couple with Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson).
The pair, who started off as pals, were due to tie the knot - but Sophie ran away at the altar when the guilt of kissing Amber Kalirai got too much for her.
Last year Brooke starred in ITV's celebrity reality programme Drama Queens before the show was axed after just four months.
Her concerns about spending too much time away from her children played a hand in the decision to end the series so soon.
During one scene Brooke broke down in tears over her 'mum guilt' after her mum informs her that one of her two boys has come down with a sickness.
Brooke, who shares sons Mexx, five, and Monroe, three, with fiancé Kean Bryan, 28, tells viewers: 'The only reason I am trying not to cry is because my eyes will go all red. And then I'll have to meet new people with red eyes…'
Later she begins to cry, saying: 'At that point, I was like instantly overwhelmed. 'It makes me upset because I think… I get such mum guilt.'
'It is really rubbish. Ultimately there is nothing really that I could have done to predict he was going to be poorly.'
She added: 'It'll will be fine. He has literally just been sick. I think it's just.. I constantly think, is it right that I go back to work.'
Later laughing it off, she said: God, I am an absolute mess. My life's a mess!'
Drama Queens aimes to provide viewers with 'an exclusive journey into the lives of Britain's soap royalty'.
It will featured personalities from Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Emmerdale 'taking viewers beyond the scripted drama of the screen' and into their real lives.

Despite caring for April and becoming good friends, her dad Marlon Dingle, was not a fan on Dylan and resorted to planting drugs on Dylan in a desperate bid to force him out of April's life. But his plan backfired dramatically when Dylan ended up overdosing and left to attend rehab. Emmerdale producers revealed earlier this month that Dylan would be returning to the village, but Amelia, who plays April on the soap gave a hint when exactly fans can expect to see him again. "April has had an incredibly tough year with what she has been through, with the pregnancy and the homelessness storyline," she told Mirror Online. "April and Dylan didn't leave things on the best terms, but I think what is important now is that he's back." Amelia added: "Who knows what will happen. It will be great to explore that relationship further, I think fans want to see that which is great." It's been a big week for Amelia who took out the gong for Best Young Performer at Thursday's British Soap Awards. She managed to win the prize ahead of her brother William Flanagan, who was nominated for playing Joseph Brown on Coronation Street. Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed Dylan's return earlier this month. Emmerdale's Marlon visits Dylan in hospital after he takes an overdose "Lovely Fred Kettle, who plays Dylan, is coming back to the show," she told media. "He's going to be bringing his past back to the village with him. And that's going to cause huge problems for April and the wider family there." Laura added: "We've got a couple of exciting new castings that are joining us for that story, but I'm not allowed to tell you who they are. Watch this space, because it's very exciting." 5 Amelia Flanagan confirmed the news at the British Soap awards Credit: Getty

Emmerdale actor leaves fans in 'bits' as he breaks down at Soap Awards
Fans watching the British Soap Awards on TV spotted the emotional moment. Emmerdale fans were left emotional whilst watching the British Soap Awards as long-time cast member Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain Dingle, broke down in tears during a powerful tribute. The glittering took place at London's Hackney Empire on Saturday (May 31) but aired on TV on Thursday night. On the evening a Memorial section was included in the ceremony to honour late soap icons who are sadly no longer with us. Among the stars who were remembered were Meg Johnson, Kenneth Cope, Anita Carey, and finally Emmerdale legend Steve Halliwell, who played Zak Dingle, writes The Mirror. Steve, who passed away in December 2023 at the age of 77, played the much-loved patriarch of the Dingle family for almost thirty years. The star first appeared in the ITV soap in 1994, and then went on to be featured in more than 2,400 episodes of Emmerdale. His tribute featured a moving montage of his work, which was accompanied by a live piano instrumental. As Halliwell's final clip played, cameras panned to Jeff Hordley, who plays Zak's son in the soap. The actor was visibly emotional and looked as if he was wiping away tears from his eyes, which prompted a heartfelt reaction from fans on social media. One viewer wrote: "Aww, you could see at the end there seeing Steve affected Jeff." Another affected fan added: "Broke me that Steve Halliwell with Jeff Hordley." Steve Halliwell passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones, according to a statement released by his family in 2023. They said: "He went to sleep, peacefully with his loved ones around him. He was making us laugh to the end, the most amazing father and grandfather you could ever wish for." ITV also released a touching tribute at the time, saying: "Steve will forever be synonymous with Emmerdale. The proud defender and head of the Dingle family. Heart and humour in all he did, it has been and always will be impossible not to smile when you think of him." Aside from Emmerdale, Halliwell also appeared in popular shows including Coronation Street, Heartbeat, All Creatures Great and Small, and Cracker. However, it was his portrayal of farmer Zak Dingle that he is primarily remembered for. He previously opened up about his family's financial hardships during his childhood, admitting that his mum couldn't even afford to buy him a bacon sandwich. Steve shared: "When I first went on this walk there was a small café in the woods known as Nab's Wife (a corruption of the area originally known as Nab's Wharfe), where you could get a refreshing cup of tea and a Mars bar. You could also get a bacon butty, but we never had enough money for such 'luxuries'. On one occasion I persuaded mum to give Clive and me enough money for a bacon butty each, but when we got to the café it was all boarded up and, sadly, never reopened." He was homeless and even imprisoned for "wandering" under the Vagrancy Act early on in his adult life before he went on to find solace in acting and made a name for himself as the formidable head of the Dingle family.

Coronation Street' star Jack P Shepherd shares honest reaction to awards snub
Coronation Street legend Jack P Shepherd has opened up about his feelings after he missed out on a gong at the British Soap Awards as he admitted "it was a shock" Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd has expressed his "shock" at missing out on a British Soap Award last weekend (Saturday, May 31). The actor, who has played David Platt since he was just 12 years old in 2000, is a key part of the Platt family and recently celebrated his 25th anniversary on the show. Jack's character has had several near-death experiences on Corrie, including a terrifying incident in 2003 when Richard Hillman attempted to kill the Platt family by driving them into a canal. Despite these dramatic moments, Jack was nominated for Best Comedy Performance at this year's British Soap Awards, alongside Patsy Palmer (EastEnders), Nicola Wheeler (Emmerdale) and Nicole Barber-Lane (Hollyoaks). Having previously won Villain of the Year in 2008 and Best Actor in 2018, Jack was hoping to add a third award to his collection, reports Leicestershire Live. In response to his On The Sofa co-star, Colson Smith, Jack joked: "I've been trying for years to get a nod for comedy because I've never been nominated for it before." Reflecting on his disappointment at not winning, he admitted: "It was a shock. "If you watched it the other night, you will notice that my reaction is genuine. And I'm completely blown away that I didn't win." In an earlier episode of the show, Jack had admitted he would have been especially "devastated" if he had lost out on the award to Patsy Palmer. Despite the potential disappointment, the 37 year old emphasised that there was never any "hatred or rivalry" when watching stars from rival soaps take to the stage for their prizes. Corrie's Jack P. Shepherd certainly didn't hide his shock during the recent ceremony, as Coronation Street actors left with little to toast, compared to EastEnders which dominated the evening by sweeping up seven awards. Only David Neilson managed to snag a trophy for the Weatherfield regulars at the eventful night.
