Former Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent got emotional after revealing she considered taking a break from acting.
In the latest episode of ITV’s Drama Queens – which follows the lives of some of the nation’s favourite soap stars – the Sophie Webster actress, 31, is told by her mum that one of her two boys is ill.
Her son Mexx is now three and she also has baby Monroe, who was born in 2022. Their dad is Brooke’s fiancé, footballer Kean Bryan.
‘We just thought it is probably best that I don’t Facetime him, as he’ll be like: “mum where are ya?” and I’m obviously here all day,’ she said.
‘The only reason I am trying not to cry is because my eyes will go all red, and then I’ll have to meet new people with red eyes…’
Brooke continued: ‘Mum guilt is a thing, it really, really is. Do I just go and work in a job that is 9-5, that’s round the corner from home and just solely be a mum?

‘I don’t know what the right answer is to be honest.’
Anyone hoping for a return of Sophie to the cobbles of Weatherfield will be disappointed to know, as Brookepreviously revealed she has no plans to return as she prioritises her family.
‘The hard thing about Corrie was that the hours aren’t a normal nine-to-five, or you couldn’t go part-time, or you couldn’t start after 10am,’ she said recently.
‘I didn’t want that to affect my time with my first baby. I thought while I was able to step away, I did, and I felt that was the best decision for me and my family at the time.’
She also has to consider where Kean’s football career might take the family, she said.
‘It’s hard with Corrie because it’s set in Manchester and I don’t know where Kean’s going to be next season.
‘I don’t want to be in a situation where one of you has to stay in one place, and the other somewhere else, especially while the boys are so young.’
