Brooke Vincent's first-ever kiss was with Sacha Parkinson on 'Coronation Street'.

The 29-year-old actress made TV history in 2010 when she was part of the soap's first-ever lesbian kiss, and Brooke has now revealed that it was also a landmark moment for herself.

The star - who appeared as Sophie Webster in the ITV soap - recalled: "It was like the end of the shoot and they brought it forward so we had no time to think about it.

"So bearing in mind, not only is this my first kind of lesbian on screen kiss, it's my first kind of kiss.

"So I was a bit like, 'Where we at here, do we do tongues, do we not, do I put my head this side, which side are you going? Have you brushed your teeth?'

"I remember we had a tea break beforehand. I remember saying, 'Are you going to eat that?' I think it was something like garlic, or like garlic and herb Philadelphia. To make light of it."

Despite this, Brooke recalled having an "absolute ball" on set.

But the actress also remembers the social landscape being very different at the time.

Brooke - who has kids Mexx, two, and Monroe, nine months, with her footballer beau Kean Bryan - told 'The Secret To' podcast: "It was amazing. There wasn't reality TV, there wasn't young influencers, there wasn't anything like, so we had an absolute ball.

"We thought we were so f****** important - it was like the nation's favourite lesbian please, address me by my title."

Brooke took a break from 'Coronation Street' in 2019 and for the time being, she doesn't have any plans to return to the cobbles.

She said: "The boys need me at the minute, I haven’t got the commitment in me to say to 'Corrie', ‘Let me come back’.

"'Corrie' was and is very full-on when you’re busy and it makes me laugh because I know everyone has kids, but I’m like, ‘I’ve got kids so I can’t come at that time. I’ve got kids.' "
