Brooke Vincent has opened up about the pride she feels towards her stretch marks on a stunning bikini shoot with her sons Mexx and Monroe.The former Coronation Street star revealed she has been working out at the gym twice a week since last October and has discovered a newfound appreciation for her body since becoming a mum.

Speaking exclusively to OK! , Brooke said: “I’ve got stretch marks from having the boys – I’ve got them on my stomach and legs.

I already had them on my bum. “They came on at the final two weeks of my first pregnancy, then I got more with Monroe. “Some people are so worried about showing or even saying they’ve got stretch marks, but I’ve accepted they’re my new body now.There’s nothing I can do about them and I got them from my babies, so that’s pretty cool.” Brooke left her career-defining role as Sophie Webster in Coronation Street to focus on family life in 2019 and has put all of her being into bringing up Mexx, two, and 16-month-old Monroe ever since She said that recruiting a personal trainer had given her some much needed me-time while the boys were at nursery, and helped to unleash in her a new sense of confidence after being plagued by insecurities in her 20s.

She said: “I got back to the gym and now I’m back in my old jeans, and I’m at a point where if I want to wear something, I’m going to wear it.
