Corrie's Vincent: I miss Parkinson

Brooke Vincent has confessed Coronation Street feels "more like work" now her pal Sacha Parkinson has left the soap.

Sacha played Sian Powers - the girlfriend of Brooke's character Sophie Webster - for nearly three years before quitting last December.

And Brooke revealed she missed her sidekick: "It's just more like work, it's more like I have to concentrate and when she was there I just kind of had a laugh. It is different but I do still enjoy it."

The 19-year-old still has the company of her on-screen family, Michael Le Vell and Sally Dynevor, who play her parents Kevin and Sally.

"They're lovely. Obviously we all have a close bond because we all work together so much, it is really nice and I love Michael and Sally, so I'm quite happy at work at the moment," she added.

As for what she wants next for Sophie, the soap star said "something interesting".

"I'm not really sure. I'm kind of enjoying dipping in and out with my character, but I'm quite easy-going about her," she added.
