ITV Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent gives new baby unique name

Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent has welcomed her first child.

Announcing her son's arrival on Instagram, she shared her news with a picture of her newborn resting against her chest.

She captioned the post: "On Wednesday 23rd October at 8.14am our baby boy arrived."

Brooke, who plays Sophie Webster on the soap, also revealed her son's unique name - Mexx.

She wrote: "Mexx S J Bryan, you complete us."

It is her first child with her footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan, 22.

The actress has been with Sheffield United player Bryan since 2016.

They announced their baby news in April, and Brooke told OK! magazine that she "always worried" becoming a mother would not happen for her.

She said: "I'm beside myself with happiness. I've been playing songs to the bump and sometimes I sit and cry abut how much I love my baby!

"I've always wanted to be a mum, so I'm really excited."

Brooke has appeared in Corrie since 2004, and over the years she has also had TV stints on Dancing On Ice and Soapstar Superstar.

Brooke's former Corrie co-star Catherine Tyldesley was among those congratulating her, writing on Instagram: "Love you so much. Well done beautiful xxx."
