'Coronation Street' Brooke Vincent: 'I have to act for the first time'

Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has admitted that her upcoming lesbian love triangle storyline was difficult to film.

Vincent's alter ego Sophie Webster cheats on Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson) with Amber Kaliari (Nikki Patel) in the upcoming plot.

She told Bang Showbiz: "It's different to anything I've ever been used to and it's made me actually have to act for the first time.

"I think a lot of my own personality has come into my character for the past eight years and now I'm actually having to really act differently. It's interesting though, and it keeps things fresh."

However, she said of filming romantic scenes with Patel: "Kissing a girl is like kissing a boy.

"You just close your eyes and hope for the best. It's somebody new that you have to get to know, it's exciting. Hopefully everything will be okay."

Meanwhile, paying tribute to the departing Parkinson at yesterday's Inside Soap Awards, she added: "Sacha is my best friend and even thinking about her leaving makes me want to cry.

"She's more than just a co-star to me. It's crazy that we've spent so much time working together and all of a sudden she's going to be gone."
