Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has revealed her upcoming car crash scene required "100 per cent concentration" to avoid anything going wrong.

The 20-year-old's character Sophie Webster faces the possibility of never being able to walk again when she is struck by a car while trying to save pal Ryan Connor from getting knocked down.

Brooke told The Sun: "However much the stunt co-ordinator told me the cars wouldn't touch me, because the stunt drivers knew exactly what they were doing, it went against every instinct to step into the road.

"The cars were so close and doing 20 to 30mph, and your reaction is to move out of the way.

"But it was all so cleverly done. It required 100 per cent concentration and there had to be a lot of communication to make sure everyone knew what they were doing. If just one person was out of time it could have easily gone terribly wrong."

Sophie is told she may never walk properly again after the accident.

Brooke said: "It makes you realise how hard it is for people who experience this in real life."
