Pregnant Brooke Vincent says goodbye to Coronation Street after 15 years as star shares emotional behind the scenes footage before maternity leave
CORONATION STREET star Brooke Vincent has said goodbye to the soap after 15 years on the cobbles.
The actress, 27, filmed her last scenes as Sophie Webster for the ITV show yesterday as she prepares to go on maternity leave.
Brooke shared her emotional final moments on the set after shooting scenes in Dev's corner shop.
In the clips, several cast and crew, including Antony Cotton who plays Sean Tully and Mikey North who plays Gary Windass, said goodbye to the mum-to-be.
The star was clearly emotional as she received a bouquet of flowers from on-screen mum Sally Dynevor, who stepped forward to give a touching speech.
She told her: "We're going to miss you so much.
"Oh Brooke we all love you so much, you've been here since you were 11. This is your home.
"You can come back anytime you want to, bring the baby."
Over on Instagram, Brooke wrote: ";I can’t believe 15 years ago I came onto the street to play “Sophie Webster” and today I left to play my biggest role yet “Mummy” my amazing family at Coronation Street I am going to miss you all so much.
"Thank you for always looking after me, for keeping me on the straight and narrow and for letting me get away with murder over the years.
"Also @kean8 for making my last day extra special coming home to the best treats!! I really am super lucky!!"
Brooke's co-stars were quick to comment their well wishes.
Tina O'Brian, best known for playing Sarah Platt, said: "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".
While Samia Longchambon, commented: "Awww we will miss you so much Brooke! Well done on getting through today!"
Last week we revealed Brooke's character Sophie will leave the cobbles with Kate Connor after inheriting thousands of pounds.
The actress is set to welcome her first child, a son, with footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan.
Brooke, who recently celebrated her baby shower with family and friends in Manchester, announced she was expecting back in April.
The actresses posed for a group photo in swimming attire as they enjoyed a pamper day at Garden Spa in Warrington.
