Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent has spoken about what to expect from her character Sophie Webster as she begins her first business venture on the soap.

Vincent's character Sophie Webster turned 21 on the show recently, and dad Kevin gave her a 21% share in his garage business as a present.

Speaking to ​This Morning​ about the present, the actress said: "When I knew I was going to have some of the business, because I don't have a going-to-work outfit [on the show]... I wanted Sophie, even though she works in a garage, to look like Carla Connor.

"So me and Alex from costume, we went shopping and I was so excited because I could buy a work wardrobe."

Coronation Street fans can rest easy - Brooke Vincent looks set to be on the show for the foreseeable future.

It was announced last year that the actress, who plays Weatherfield's Sophie Webster, would be taking some time off to appear in a play.

Vincent will take on the role of 19-year-old mum Mary Adams in a production of Be My Baby at Manchester's Lowry Theatre.

Her theatre commitments mean that Vincent will be away from the show for an eight-week period, starting in September of this year.

However, it seems that her future with the ITV soap is safe, as she signed a new one-year deal back in February.

So Sophie should be on our screens for at least another year, with lots of action-packed storylines reportedly being lined up for the feisty character.

Great news...

Brooke Vincent's three-month absence from Coronation Street will be explained away by having her character Sophie Webster leave for Miami.
Upcoming episodes of the ITV soap will see Sophie get a call from her sister Rosie, who invites her to the US for a break.
But dad Kevin (Michael Le Vell) will be loathe to see her go, what with shrewd Sophie having just secured a lucrative contract for the garage.
Scenes to be broadcast on Friday 14 October find Kevin laying down the law and telling Sophie that there's no way he can spare her for three months. So will Sophie end up exiting in the face of her dad's opposition?

Actress Brooke Vincent has played the role of Sophie since 2004 but is set to make her stage debut tonight (4 October) in 1960s-set Be My Baby alongside Hi-de-Hi! star Ruth Madoc at Salford's Lowry Theatre.
