Oh to be young. We fondly remember the days we would add a route to our measly paper round every Sunday to afford 2 cans of fizzy pop, a bag of Pom Bears and a pack of Spice Girl stickers. It was a struggle, but boy did we make it happen to maintain such a plush lifestyle. All the other kids at school were jel.
It’s only understandable that a young actress like Brooke Vincent has to pick up extra work to keep up with the rest of the soap star elite. When you’re expected to own the newest model of car, every Lipsy dress under the sun and take hours off of work to slather on the fake tan, funds can become strained.
Still, on a wage estimated at £75,000 a year to play teen Sophie Webster in Coronation Street, we were surprised to see Brooke pulling pints behind a bar in Manchester for £6.08 an hour. We suppose when you live on a cobbled street with only a corner shop and a pub, there’s only two ways you can go.
The 19 year old has upped her spending game recently as she’s started dating Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran. The pair have jetted to Spain and Portugal and she recently treated herself to a brand new Mercedes sports car! Maybe she’s feeling the pinch. Still, it’s good to know the girl’s got a good work ethic!
We can’t help but think that this scenario seems reminiscent to Emmerdale star Adele Silva’s plan to live the dream out in LA. Adele was snapped working in a retail outlet as rumours circulated that her big break attempt wasn’t going according to plan, she has since returned to the soap that made her famous.
Whatever Brooke's circumstance, it's nice to see a hard-grafting WAG!
