Brooke Vincent delays Coronation Street return for motherhood

The actress has ruled out a Corrie comeback

The actress says her priorities have changed after she became a mother.

And bosses have reportedly reassured her that her job will be safe and Sophie won’t be killed off.

Brooke, 29, last filmed for the show in August 2019 before she went on maternity leave to have her son Mexx with Sheffield United star Kean Bryan.

The actress was last seen on screens as Sophie in October of that year.

However instead of returning after maternity leave, Brooke went on to have her second child, Monroe.

Born in May, the little boy means Brooke definitely won’t be back on the cobbles any time soon.

It is said she is making more money than her £150k Corrie salary with brand deals.

Speaking on a Q&A this week, Brooke said: “I love Corrie and it will always be my home.

“But it’s a very demanding job and quite restrictive as you have to be based near Manchester.

“I’ve been doing it since age 11 and that’s been my priority, but now I have the boys they’re my priority.

“Maybe when they get to a certain age – if they’ll have me back that is – I’ll be saying, ‘Please give me my job back!'”

However there is no chance of the soap recasting the role.
