Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent reveals health scare during family holiday – and pleads with fans for help

CORONATION Street actress Brooke Vincent has revealed she's suffered a health scare while on a sun-soaked family holiday.

The Sophie Webster star, 31, took to her Instagram page to plead for help from fans as she's currently at sea on board a Norwegian Viva cruise.

Brooke alerted fans to her condition with a selfie showing her staring straight at the camera.

She wore a green Hunza G style bikini yet the snap captured her reddened chest.

The Coronation Street alumni, who looked unimpressed in the image, told fans: "So ... I have early stages of prickly heat!

"It doesn't always happen which is annoying A F.

"Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on how to help soothe or stop it please?"

Proving the holiday must go on, she then captured the cruise ship's arrival into the French resort of Cannes.

Prickly heat is an itchy heat rash which makes your skin feel like it's stinging or prickling.

Also known as miliaria rubra, the condition can develop anywhere on the body - but it tends to crop up on your face, neck, back, chest or thighs.

The rash usually develops in people who are sweating more than usual (in this case due to hot weather), which can cause pores to become blocked.

Brooke has documented her luxury £2K a week cruise break with sons Mexx, aged three, and Monroe, aged two, along with fiance Kean Bryan, 26.

One image showed her in an orange swimsuit raising a glass with a cocktail on board the Norwegian Viva ship.

She then showed Mexx giving a thumbs-up to the camera while having his breakfast ion his cabin before he took a dip with his brother and dad.

Clearly relishing her time off prior to her illness, Brooke posed for a series of stunning snaps at the top of the boat.

She struck a series of poses in a floral crop top and matching maxi skirt, with the glistening sea waters behind.

Oh So B founder Brooke joked to fans in the caption: "Sail away with me honey."

Recently the proud mum of two flashed her bum in a see-through sarong during her trip.

Back in March, she also wowed while striking a pose in an orange swim two-piece.

It comes as Brooke recently revealed she struggled in pregnancy after believing she "lost her identity" while expecting. 

"People just underestimate how carrying a child can make you feel and how it can knock your confidence. I just didn't know who I was," she explained on the  saying a lot of those feelings came down to her weight and body changes. 

She also found Instagram and Twitter posts of other pregnant mums hard to stomach as she found herself comparing her journey to others in the public eye. 

Meanwhile, Brooke officially left Corrie in 2019, with Sophie driving off into the sunset in a back of a taxi.
