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.
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. “The thing is with this, I’ve never had a job that has a start time and an end time,” she said. “My Corrie day could have looked like absolutely anything between seven and seven so I could have been there for an hour or I could have been there all day. But I know with this, I know exactly what is going on and I think at the minute, with the age that my boys are, it does really, really help to know that between four and seven this is where I am going to be.
And Brooke is also in no rush to tie the knot. Brooke and footballer Kean were showered with congratulations last April after sharing the happy news that they had got engaged. The former soap star announced that the couple were getting married with a sweet Instagram post. “We’re not planning yet. It’s just chaos with the boys. We need to get the boys christened first, that’s the first thing I want to do then I’ll figure out about getting married.
Speaking exclusively to the Manchester Evening News about her new gig, Brooke said she is “very nervous” as the reality sets in but she’s also “very excited”. She said: “I’ve obviously listened, I know Gem, I know Mike and yeah, I’ve listened for a while and now I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ that’s going to be me.”
