Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent looks incredible as she strips to a swimsuit & eats McDonalds on rowdy birthday bash
CORONATION Street's Brooke Vincent looked incredible as she flaunted her enviable figure in a swimsuit during a sun-soaked Dubai getaway. The former soap star was seen living it with pals in the UAE sunshine during a rowdy trip away. 6 Brooke looked fantastic as she wowed in a black cut-out swimsuit as she posed by the ocean. The Sophie Webster star and her friends were living it up to celebrate one of their circle's 30th birthday and marked the occasion with the joyous trip. They headed out into the middle of the ocean where they relaxed on a luxury floating decking that came complete with its own pool and plenty of sun-loungers. Brooke could even be seen sat atop an inflatable duck in one snap as it was clear the mum-of-two was really letting her hair down. The pals could then be seen scoffing down McDonald's later into the night as they were surrounded by the brown paper bags from the popular fast food chain. She later shared even more posts of herself as she switched into a brand new swimming costume, complete with leopard-print detail. Wowing over Brooke in the comments section, one fan said: "Gorj as always." TV star Vicky Pattison then added: "A goddess." Someone else penned: "Wow you look fantastic super figure." Before a fourth wrote: "You look amazing. So natural so beautiful." Brooke Vincent discusses return to Coronation Street after maternity leave saying 'I would love to' Brooke's trip away comes after she sparked rumours she could be making a Corrie comeback as she joined the show's current cast for a leaving party in Manchester. Colson Smith was surrounded by his co-stars for the outing after he was axed from his role but Brooke made a surprise appearance too. It left many wondering if this was a sure-fire sign that she had secretly made a return to the programme. 6 6

Brooke Vincent looks incredible in a plunging bikini as she celebrates her birthday with a holiday to Santorini
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. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 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.
