Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent has revealed that she is pregnant with her second child by boyfriend Kean Bryan.

The 28-year-old went on maternity leave from the ITV soap in October 2019 to have her first child - Mexx S J Bryan - and is now expecting her second next Spring.

"I'm quite chilled about it. I'm really lucky with Mexx, because he's a good baby," she told OK! magazine.

"But I just think to myself, 'You don't have any other option!' So if he's up all night crying, I can't give him to anyone, so I have to just deal with it.

"It's a perk having them together and growing together – that's what I really wanted."

Vincent had been expected to return to Corrie in the near future but her maternity leave is now likely to be extended further, meaning that her comeback as Sophie Webster could now be delayed until Summer 2021.
