Brooke Vincent said she was left in tears after reading a quote that summed up her current parenting struggle with her two children. The former Coronation Street star shares sons Mexx, three, and one-year-old Monroe with her footballer fiance Kean Bryan.
But it appears she's facing a bit of a battle when it comes to her children's sleeping arrangements. Earlier this week the actress, who played Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, appeared exhausted as she filmed her energetic boys attempting to put a hat on her head after a rough night.
"Kean's given me a 7.30am lie in and I feel like I've been hit by a bus," she typed alongside the video. "Monroe woke up at 12.30 and I gave up and put him in our bed at 1.30am. The boys have been sleeping HORRENDOUS since our holiday," Brooke went on to explain. "And 9/10 BOTH in bed with us with Monroe WRAPPED around my neck."

Then on Wednesday night (January 18), Brooke reshared a post from The Mum Circle and Instagram which clearly struck a chord. The message started: "Dear bedsharing mama, I know your muscles ache and your hips feel tight. It's hard to share your body, every day and every night."
Another part reads: "Know that there will come a time you'll have the bed back to yourself and those little tiny hands will no longer search for help. And when all this is over, you'll forget the nights that dragged, the moments of frustration, the sleep you wished you had."
The poem then ended: "You knew that's what they need and it's what you needed too... To rest so close and so connected to the hear who lived in you." Writing alongside the post on her own Instagram Story, Brooke said: "This is me atm. Yes, I'm crying," alongside a broken heart and weary face emoji.
Last month, Brooke left fans in stitches as she showed the 'reality' of her recent holiday with her two boys. She jetted off to Tenerife where she welcomed in the new year with her family, including Corrie star cousin Ellie Leach. In one picture posted to her Instagram grid, Brooke was all smiles as she posed up a storm in a goregous satin green co-ord.
Mexx could also be seen in the shot, looking smart in a blue shirt and shorts. But in the second image, Brooke's smile had disappeared as she gave a more serious look to the camera with her son in her arms. "Going out Brooke V Brooke The Mum," the 30-year-old posted in the caption.
She also continued the theme with snaps donning the same outfit but this time out enjoying the Tenerife nightlife. The first snap showed her posing beside some trees after adding a towering orange heel to her look. However, the second image showed her donning trainers and pushing a buggy.
