'Coronation Street's' Brooke Vincent has revealed an upcoming on-screen lesbian affair for her character Sophie Webster.
According to The Sun, the teenage actress is set to have a romance next year with best pal Sian, played by Sacha Parkinson.
Speaking at recent Inside Soap Awards, Brooke told TV Biz the pair had already discussed how they will handle the storyline.
She said: "We've talked about it; we're so close so we'll be alright. I've just told her as long as she sticks to her own side when it comes to the kissing scenes things will be fine."
Vincent, 17, added: "I think the story's going to be really good, it's something to get my teeth into and it will take Sophie out of Rosie's shadow.
"It will also let other teenage girls know they are not the only ones going through it if they are experiencing something similar.
"Often there aren't as many lesbian characters on TV compared to gay ones so it's a really positive thing for the soap."
However she admitted her friends and family were shocked when she told them what would happen to Sophie: "When I told my friends they were like 'shut up!'.
"My granddad was like 'as long as you're comfortable with it', you know, big gulp."
