Loved-up Faye Brookes 'puts relationship to the test' with baking challenge

Former Coronation Street star Faye Brookes looked loved-up as she teamed up with her man for a bake-off challenge.

The smitten star from Flixton and personal trainer Joe Davies showed off their baking skills side-by-side at a socially distanced event.

Faye and her man spent the day at The Big Bakes Birmingham, and they competed against family and friends in a 90-minute bake-off.

Faye jokingly told her man: "This is really going to test our trust and relationship if we are going to work together to bake a half decent cake."

The pair, who have been keeping busy in lockdown by baking, created a Gravity Cake covered in bright yellow icing and slices of lemon.

The actress shared photos from the day on her Instagram.

"You are gorgeous!!!" her former Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster, told her.

"Love all the pictures!! These types of memories are unforgettable," said another follower.

Faye celebrated her 33th birthday with some pampering at city centre salon House of Evelyn, who created 'mermaid locks' for her.

"Feeling so overwhelmed by all the love and sweet messages," she wrote on her Instagram.

"So unbelievably grateful for each and everyone of you out there who made me feel so special on my birthday."

Faye, who played Kate Connor in Coronation Street, went public with her romance with Joe at the end of last year.

She was engaged to pop star Gareth Gates but it was announced that they had split last August.

Faye's character Kate left the cobbles in September 2019, after four years, to go travelling following the death of her fiancee Rana Habeeb in the collapse of the Underworld factory last March.
