Brooke Vincent has spent her whole young-adult life playing Sophie Webster in Coronation Street.
The 27-year-old actress joined the Manchester soap back in 2004 as the youngest of the Webster clan.
Brooke, who was just 11-years-old when she joined, was the third actress to play the Corrie character and has only had a brief spell away from the small-screen when she took some time off to appear in sixties style play Be My Baby at the Lowry Theatre in 2016.
But before joining the ITV staple, the Audenshaw-native made her first TV appearance in The League of Gentlemen in 2002.
Working a Saturday job at a Manchester hair salon, it wasn't until her big Coronation Street break that she made acting her career full-time.
And it's fair to say she has had her fair share of high-profile storylines since.
In 2010, Brooke was involved in the soap's first lesbian storyline when Sophie entered a relationship with Sacha Parkinson, played by Sian Powers.
But it all ended in heartbreak and Sophie has continued to be unlucky in love.
Aside from her day job, Brooke launched her own stationary brand, Oh So B, in 2018.
She is also set to became a mum announcing she was pregnant with her first child in April 2019 with her Sheffield United footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan.
