Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent is in the semi-finals of Dancing on Ice – gaining her highest ever score with 30 marks on Sunday night – despite having never skated before the show.

Brooke, 25, who plays Sophie Webster, wowed the judges in the quarter final with her Alice in Wonderland routine alongside the Mad Hatter to Little Mix’s Black Magic.

Weather presenter Alex Beresford became the eighth celebrity eliminated from Dancing on Ice, sent home afterskate-off with Love Island winner Kem Cetinay.

Brooke will be competing on Sunday 4 March against Kem, rugby player Max Evans and reality TV star Jake Quickenden, who again topped the leader board. But then she has the support of her beautiful god-daughters…

 

Brooke is no stranger to wowing TV viewers across the nation, – particularly when she featured in Coronation Street’s first ever lesbian storyline – and now she is the last girl standing.

Viva has loved every moment, including her incredible outfits on this series.

Brooke’s popularity on the famous all-star show has grown since the first two weeks of the season, where she received some harsh criticism for being “too shaky” in her performance of Get Lucky. She also came under scrutiny for looking “bored” during her performances.

Yet, Manchester’s own actress reminded fans of her strong work ethic and how hard she has been trying to impress audiences on the show despite her earlier criticisms;

 

On her Instagram profile, where she boasts a large 650,000 followers, Brooke shows off her glamorous in her “sparkly numbers”.

Brooke’s scores with professional partner Matej Silecky have been rising week after week, showing audiences that she is working hard to constantly improve her skills.

You can keep up to date with Brooke’s rehearsals and preparations for each week on her social accounts, where she asks fans to vote for her: “We want to stay and progress so please continue to vote for us!”

Dancing on Ice is on Sundays on ITV at 6pm.
