Brooke Vincent has waved goodbye to the Coronation Street cobbles as she prepares to become a mum.

Brooke Vincent has shared an emotional video after filming her last scenes for Coronation Street yesterday.

The actress has played Sophie Webster on the ITV soap for 15 years, but has now said goodbye to the cobbles as she prepares to go on maternity leave.

Posting a clip of her final moments on the set, Brooke can be seen crying in Dev's corner shop surrounded by her co-stars and the crew.

The mum-to-be was clearly emotional as she received a bouquet of flowers from on-screen mum Sally Dynevor, who stepped forward to give a speech.

The star’s friends and family were quick to comment, with Tina O'Brian, aka Sarah Platt, writing: "It’s not going to be the same without you!!!! Can’t wait to hear all about your mummy adventures, you’re going to be an incredible mum".
