Corrie favourite Brooke Vincent said 'how lucky I am' as she celebrated her 30th birthday with her nearest and dearest. The soap star marked her landmark birthday with a visit to swanky restaurant The Ivy in Manchester.

And she posted photos of herself with her loved-ones standing next to the giant light-up numbers 30 and photos of Brooke through the ages were displayed.
Well-wishes came flooding in from her followers and Corrie friends. Sally Carman who plays stepmum Abi Webster said: "Just gorgeous Brooke, happy birthday cockle shell."

Brooke hasn't been seen on-screen after leaving to go on maternity leave while pregnant with first son Mexx, who was born in October 2019. The star and her fiance Kean Bryan welcomed their second son Monroe in May last year.
Sophie's exit storyline was that she had gone off travelling. "I left (the show) to have my first little boy and then I always knew I wanted my children close together so then I had my other little boy, and I'm just being a mum at the minute," she told the Daily Star previously.
“Anybody that’s got children will tell you how hard it is to even to put the washing in the washing machine. So yeah, I’m just being a mum and getting myself back and trying to get us into a routine and focusing on them. It’s kind of a decision that we made as a family and it’s just nice to have that special time with them without having major distractions of what’s been going on."
