Coronation Street star Ellie Leach has revealed the advice that her real-life cousin Brooke Vincent shared with her, after she confirmed her exit from the ITV soap.
Ellie will bow out as Faye Windass after 12 years in the role, four years on from Brooke departing the show as Sophie Webster.
Brooke and Ellie's characters were stepsisters on the ITV soap, while in real life the pair are cousins and are very close.
