Brooke Vincent has been supported by one of her former Coronation Street` co-star as she gave an update on her next big gig. The actress recently made an exit from her radio job on Hits Radio after stepping in for Gemma Atkinson during the usual drivetime co-host’s maternity leave.

Brooke, who is famed for having played Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, stepped in last year to host the show with Mike Toolan while Genna headed on maternity leave to welcome her second child with fiance Gorka Marquez into the world. Thiago Thomas made his appearance in July and eight months on and Gemma will soon be back on the radiowaves.

When Brooke’s time on the show came to an end last Friday (March 15) Gemma had a catch-up with Mike and Brooke in which she praised her fellow former soap star for her time on the show. “I have tuned in and you have done so well Brooke, genuinely,” she said.

“I’ve had people literally come up to me and say, ‘Oh my god, how good is she?’ And I’m like ‘alright, nice, thank you!’ Honestly, you should be so proud!” And Brooke admitted it was emotional to be saying goodbye after several months on the radio as before the last show, she wrote on her Instagram Story: “Today is my last day at hits!! Brb crying!”

But she’s not taking time off as the mum-of-two has headed straight into rehearsals for her stage debut in The Syndicate, the late Kay Mellor’s final play being brought to life by her daughter and former Emmerdale star Gaynor Faye. She will play Amy, the sister-in-law of supermarket assistant Jamie, who will be played by Gaynor’s son Oliver Anthony in his theatrical debut after singer Max George was forced to withdraw from the role.
