Former ITV Coronation Street star Faye Brookes looks stunning in beach bikini snaps months after split

Faye Brookes looked worlds away from her time on the Coronation Street cobbles as she basked in the sunshine on a recent break. The actress, who starred as Kate Connor in the ITV soap, looked stunning in a simple black bikini as she posed on the white sandy beaches in Thailand.

She kept her followers updated on her sun-soaked break which came just a couple of months after she suffered heartbreak when she split from her partner Joe Davies.

Faye, 35, showed off her incredible figure in the two-piece swimwear as she stood in the crystal clear water. The brunette beauty stood with her back to the camera as she gazed across the blue water out to the clear skies while staying at the five-star Aleenta Phuket resort.

"Beach please," she captioned the video which showed a string of snaps of her posing, fresh-faced on the beach. And the compliments came flooding in. @sim_bod08 said: "Wow absolutely beautiful." @ andrewram1967 echoed: "Looking beautiful as always." @valentinamentessi commented: "You look absolutely stunning."

Faye's trip comes after her split for Joe after almost three years together. The former soap star revealed the sad news on social media, telling fans that she will remain friends with the personal trainer following their "wonderful" times together. She also said they had decided to go their separate ways but said their friendship remains 'stonger than ever'.'

"Just wanted to say that, very sadly, after nearly three years Joe and I have decided to go our separate ways. We had the most wonderful of times, and our mutual respect, admiration and friendship remains stronger than ever," she tweeted.

In June she opened up about working on renovations to their 'forever home' together after selling their apartment in Manchester and moving out of the city centre last year. Earlier this year the stage and screen actress, who has been playing the iconic role of Roxie Hart in the Chicago UK tour, described Joe as her 'rock' as she reflected on life-changing events which she described as 'lifequakes.'

Last month, Faye who played the daughter of the late Johnny Connor in Corrie from 2015 to 2019, looked pretty in pink as she donned a bow-detail dress at Haydock Park Races in Merseyside. She joined fellow former ITV soap star Lucy Fallon, who played Bethany Platt from 2015 to 2020, who ramped up the glam in a green corset dress by Forever Unique at the Betfred Rose Of Lancaster Stakes Ladies Day.

Faye shared a snap on Instagram of herself and Lucy, 26, sharing a laugh with a pink plus a green love heart as the compliments came pouring in. "Honestly I’m hilarious this is why ur laughing so much xxxx" Lucy wrote jokingly.

They also enjoyed the company of 21-year-old Ellie Leach, who plays Faye Windass in Corrie, and Charlotte Jordan who joined the soap as feisty Daisy Midgeley the stepdaughter of Rovers Return landlady Jenny Connor in November 2020.
