Enjoying Sophie Webster on Corrie considering she was once
just eleven years historic, Brooke Vincent knows all about developing up in the
public eye.
She went through her teenage years being regarded in the
street and having her photograph taken on nights out.
So that you could think she is perfectly positioned to offer
recommendation to her 14-year-historic cousin Ellie Leach, who has played
teenage mum Faye Windass in the soap for the previous four years.
However even in the few years in view that she was once the
equal age, science has transformed the teen scene.
Brooke believes social media makes things much more
difficult for girls developing up at the moment, despite the fact that she
reckons Ellie is grounded ample to take it in her stride.
The 23-12 months-historical explains: “Ellie is rather just
right. She is laid again and chilled out about the predicament and she or he
has visible me go via it. If there's anything she wishes to ask, she does.
“I don’t fear for her but i know that she is going to head
through the whole lot I needed to go via but worse on the grounds that there
may be a lot extra – you have to look like this or appear like that.
“once I used to be so spotty, once I was once going via that
unsightly stage, for those who didn’t watch Corrie you didn’t see me so it
didn’t subject, whereas now it's consistent.
“when I used to be younger the one lady you knew was the
natural Joe, the lady at university, the woman who lived to your road or the
lady from dancing – that is all you knew.
“Now Instagram can put you in contact with stunning women
from far and wide the arena. Their dads might have thousands of kilos and they
have this powerful lifestyle.
“that's the bad thing about social media, you can be whoever
you wish to have to be.
“if you are unhappy, you don’t must put that you're sad, you
simply put your lavish beach condominium up there. It's only thoroughly fake.
“My pal’s daughter is eight or nine and one of her
associates commented on her Instagram: ‘Love your figure.’
“I simply think ‘How are you even speaking about that?’ it
is too much too younger.”
shrewd phrases certainly from Brooke, who despite her
Coronation road stardom seems to have her ft firmly on the ground. She still
lives at dwelling together with her mum Nicola and has the identical group of
mates she had given that college.
As a substitute of feeling strain from social media to seem
a precise approach, Brooke appears at ease in her possess epidermis.
And even as a couple of Corrie solid-mates equivalent to Kym
Marsh , Catherine Tyldesley and Katie McGlynn are demonstrated gym bunnies,
Brooke says that even as she admires their dedication she is just too busy
having fun to become a member of their health crusade.
“i'm so a McDonald’s girl,” she laughs. “I joined the
fitness center again – I renewed it in September and i have been once.
“If I went as much as I thought about going i would be so
slim and match.
“however seeing that i'm a little bit of a rebel, I don’t
need younger girls to think that that's all we do.
“after I used to be developing up there was this kind of
stigma with weight and the way you will have to seem and how ladies in
magazines appear.
“but it is so true when folks say the girls within the
magazines don’t appear like women do in real life.”
while Brooke’s cast-mates hit the fitness center and consume
healthily – with simplest the strange cheat day the place they take pleasure in
calorific treats – Brooke says every day has been her cheat day just lately.
She provides: “ Catherine Tyldesley lives a fairly, rather
healthy subculture. If I were ever to try this I wouldn’t want to lose loads of
weight, get rather, relatively match after which go chubby once more.
“i would need to do it for ever and i am not ready to do
that for ever but.
“There are days once I feel I must discontinue consuming
this or stop eating that.
“I do quite a lot of swimming – me and my mate will get in
we’ll have a chat.
“She desired me to move swimming on Monday but I mentioned I
couldn’t considering I hadn’t had my curry but and i wanted to have a curry to
conclude off my ‘not food regimen’.
“I tweeted the opposite day that i have literally been on my
cheat day for seven weeks.
“I simply suppose there are extra fundamental things in
lifestyles than to worry about what you might be consuming and the way you
seem. So long as you might be blissful, it doesn’t subject what each person
else thinks or how all people else thinks you must appear.”
in these days Brooke appears beautiful. With putting hair
and make-up, she has been modelling a designer dress at Manchester’s
intu Trafford Centre.
However she is just as at ease in a cap and a tracksuit as
she is getting glammed up for a crimson-carpet event. She says: “i'm a bit
mixed – some days I need to seem like an actual woman, different days i am in
jeans and a checked shirt.
“many times i'm in a tracksuit and i continually put on
caps. I don’t relatively wear make-up. I am relatively low-maintenance in the
case of how I look.
“I quite, really like fashion. I don’t feel i am probably
the most trendy, I simply love garments, that's my downfall – buying clothes.
My mum goes mad. A number of men and women spend countless numbers on garments
but i am extra of a bargain hunter
“i'm a high street girl. I had some pants the other week
that have been a fiver.
“If a prime is over £50 I received’t purchase it. I don’t
recognize why, I just don’t.
“i am going shopping with my buddies and my mum, and typical
persons simply pay so much for garments. You exit to get a cut price, don’t
you?”
And Brooke has needed to do a little of clothes searching
for her persona Sophie as she changed herself from Dev’s store assistant to
excessive-powered businesswoman in partnership together with her dad Kevin.
And she is thrilled to have Michael le Vell, who performs
Kevin, back on the avenue.
She says: “i'm quite enjoying being Sophie Webster on the
minute.
