Corrie star Brooke Vincent is almost unrecognisable with a nose piercing in throwback birthday post

CORONATION Street star Brooke Vincent has treated fans to a throwback picture - and she looks so different.

The actress, who is best known as Sophie Webster in Corrie, shared the snap to celebrate her fiancé Kean Bryan's birthday.

Brooke, 30, is showing off a large nose ring in the black and white photo, which was taken at a music festival some years ago.

With her hair piled on top of her head, the star is looking adoringly at West Brom footballer Kean as he wraps his arms around her.

Writing on Instagram, Brooke said: ''I choose you. And I will choose you over and over again. Without a pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat…I’ll keep choosing you.' Happy Birthday Kb."

Brooke also shared several other pictures taken throughout her relationship with 26-year-old Kean - and fans couldn't get enough of them.

One wrote: "Aww you look so young in some of those photos!"

Another added: "These are all ridiculously cute."

A third penned: "What a great sweet couple xxxx."

Brooke confirmed her relationship with Kean in 2016. She was 24 at the time.

In October 2019, the couple welcomed their first child together; a son called Mexx. They went on to have another son, Monroe, in May 2021.

Earlier this year, Kean popped the question and Brooke announced their happy engagement news with a sweet video on Instagram.

The clip showed child-like drawings of hands. On her hand, a ring had been sketched onto her wedding finger and Brooke had written: "Mrs Bryan to be."

Brooke found fame as Sophie Webster in Corrie when she was just 11 years old.

She quit the cobbles in 2019 after falling pregnant with Mexx and did not return before the birth of Monroe.

The mum-of-two has since ruled out a return while her children are so young.

In an interview with  last month, Brooke admitted balancing family life with the demanding nature of the soap was too much.

She said: “Corrie for me will always be home, but Corrie’s ongoing – it’s forever there. They don’t have an end date. So for me, smaller projects will be doable because they have a start and an end date.

“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."
