She plays troubled 17-year-old Sophie Webster on the Cobbles soap and it seems that Brooke Vincent style has been influenced by her character.

The actress,19, donned a pair of bright knee-high socks which she teamed with a short navy dress for a look that shouted naughty schoolgirl with a twist as she attended the opening of a salon in Birmingham yesterday.

As well as a thick brown waistbelt, Brooke covered up with a black leather jacket for the Adee Phelan Salon launch party in Birmingham.

Inside Soap Awards 2011: EastEnders is the big winner Red Carpet photos

Inside Soap Awards 2011: EastEnders is the big winner with the Square's young ladies leading the red carpet glamour as the soap scoops five awards

With a lot of young talent in both soaps it's always going to be a glamour battle between the lasses of Coronation Street and the EastEnders girls when a red carpet beckons.

But last night, as their soap scooped five awards, it was the Londoners that caused the flashbulb frenzy as the Square's young actresses arrived for this year's Inside Soap Awards in London.

Heading the Walford gang were actresses Jacqueline Jossa, Shona McGarty and Danielle Harold looked every inch the TV starlets as they posed on the red carpet at Gilgamesh in Camden.

From the gloom of the Square to the glamour of the red carpet: EastEnders stars Jacqueline Jossa, Shona McGarty and Danielle Harold looked every inch the TV starlets as they posed with one of the soap's five awards at the Inside Soap Awards

Jacqueline, 18, who plays Lauren Branning, looked stunning in a short black dress and towering red heels while Danielle, also 18, who plays tearaway Lola Pearce, ditched her tracksuit for a very sexy black asymmetrical cutaway dress and Mary Jane style heels.

But it was Shona, 19, who looked the most transformed from her character, troubled Whitney Dean and looked very pretty in a chiffon cream dress and cream and yellow heels, her long black hair tumbling around her shoulders in loose waves.

Back to black: Jacqueline Jossa and Danielle Harold opted for little black dress and towering heels

Bianca wouldn't recognise you! Shona McGarty, who plays troubled teen Whitney, looked all grown-up in her pretty chiffon dress

They posed separately but came together to have a picture taken with one of the soap's five awards that it scooped on the night.

Battling them for the flashbulbs were the girls from their soap rival Coronation Street with Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson leading the cuties from the cobbles.

Sultry Sophie: Corrie's Brooke Vincent looked very glamorous in her tight black dress, dark eyes and big hair

Ravishing in red: Sacha Parkinson looked very elegant in her striking halterneck jumpsuit

Brooke, 19, who plays Sophie Webster, looked vampy little black dress that showed off her curves.

She looked a far cry from the troubled teen she plays on the soap with her big hair and sexy make-up, while Sacha, also 19, and who plays her on-screen lesbian lover Sian Powers, decided against a dress and instead wore a striking red halterneck jumpsuit which made her look very grown-up.

Third time's the charm: Michelle Keegan, who looked stunning in her black dress, won the Sexiest Female for the third year running

But it was Michelle Keegan who stole the show in more ways than one, her outfit proving why she was crowed Sexiest Female for the third year running.

The actress, 24, who is engaged to the Wanted's Max George, looking stunning in her black ruched dress as she posed with her award.

Cheshire's finest: Former Hollyoaks actress Carley Stenson, who is currently starring as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde: The Musical, looked gorgeous in a purple lace dress while former co-star Bronagh Waugh kept it simple in black

Fancy Nancy: Jessica Fox, who plays Hollyoaks reporter Nancy Hayton, went for a black lacy number that showed off her curves

Corrie star Brooke Vincent covers sick friend's shift at local pub

Shouldn't you be at the Rovers? Corrie star Brooke Vincent covers sick friend's shift at local pub

She's one of the richest young actresses on the telly.

But Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent isn't above pulling pints at her local bar.

The 19-year-old covered a friend's shift on Saturday night at the White Room in Whitefield, Greater Manchester, which is thought to be owned by a friend's mother.

Pulling pints: Corrie star Brooke Vincent was seen behind the bar to help out a friend at the White Room in Whitefield, Greater Manchester on Saturday

She reportedly earned £6.08 and hour for the seven-hour stint.

It was reported today that she needed the extra money after blowing her reported £75,000 annual salary but Brooke and her management have denied this.

Brooke, who lives with her mother Nicola in Audenshaw, Manchester, has recently purchased a £23,000 Mercedes CLC 160 sports car and enjoyed several holidays in Spain and Portugal.

Her agent told the MailOnline: 'It's laughable really, considering that she has been on Coronation Street for seven years and people are trying to say that she's broke just because she went on a couple of holidays.'

Brooke launched a foul-mouthed rant on Twitter saying she had been filling in for a friend who was sick and that she helped out at the pub 'now and then'.

Break time: Brooke chats to the bouncer while on a break from her shift in which she is reported to have earned £6.08 an hour

She said; 'I've Got A Mother That Makes Me Save My Money.

'Anyway I'm Going To Sleep Tweeps I Have Work Tomorrow #noshock JUST 1 More Thing WHEN I Trip Which I Do I've Got The Love&Support Around Me To Get Back Up!

'You Need To Realise I'm A Teenager That Is Lucky Enough To Have The Job I Have And Still Get The Chance To Work Behind A Family Friends Bar And Get Away With It!!! THIS IS MY LIFE!! WELCOME To It'

She apologised to her fans for swearing throughout the rant but said she was 'really annoyed'.

One fan was shocked, saying Brooke was 'proper fumin never seen a rant like that in over 2 yrs of being on here!'

On set: Brooke, pictured with co-star Sacha Parkinson, is reported to earn £75,000 a year on Coronation Street

Brooke added that dating Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran, 18, 'does not make me a WAG'.

A source told the Daily Mirror that Brooke started a 6pm shift on Saturday and 'worked like a Trojan until after midnight, pulling pints, cleaning glasses and waiting tables'.

'She's really popular with the other staff, and the owner knows her well, so she was only too happy to help out a friend.'

A spokesperson for Corrie confirmed to the Daily Mirror she had been paid for the work and denied she was broke.

'I can't say that she won't help them out again. That's the kind of girl she is - she always looks out for her friends.'

A patron told the paper: 'Brooke was wearing the uniform to match all the staff. It would have been easy not to notice one of the girls behind the bar was a famous TV star. She was friendly with everyone.'

Teenage love: Brooke, who is dating Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran, 18, took exception to being called a WAG

Young Coronation Street stars get in on the internet fad and get Planking

Planking on the cobbles: Young Coronation Street stars get in on the internet fad by posing on the set of the legendary soap

By Jody Thompson

It's the online craze that's taken the world by storm - and even the fictional streets of Weatherfield appear impervious to the daft charms of planking.

This week, a clutch of Coronation Street's youngest stars got in on the act and Sacha Parkinson, 19, was there to preserve their planking for posterity and share it on her Twitter for all the world to see.

Sacha, who plays Sian Powers on the soap, appeared to start the trend amongst the cast when she posted a picture of herself away from work, getting her highlights done at a hairdressers in Manchester.

Curling up: Coronation Street star Sacha Parkinson started posting up pictures of her and cast members planking on her Twitter page this week

However, co-star Simon Gregson, 36, made his move on the set of the soap and Sacha was there with her camera.

He could probably get away with planking on the bar of the Rover's Return however seeing as his character Steve McDonald does own the pub after all.

However, what Stella Price would have to say about him getting down amongst the beer towels is another matter...

Sacha then took up the baton again, and planked on top of a postbox outside the Corner Shop.

Brooke Vincent, 19, who plays Sacha's onscreen partner Sophie Webster and is her real life best friend, then took matters one stage further, and planked on the counter of the Kabin

Previous silly plankers have included Gordon Ramsey, Chris Brown, Phillip Schofield, Hugh Hefner and Jenni Falconer, who did the controversial reverse plank due to being pregnant.

Special delivery: Sacha then planked on a postbox on the cobbles outside Dev Alahan's Corner Shop

For the uninitiated, planking sees people lying stretched out flat and face down in the most unlikely of public places, then sharing their poses on social media sites like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.

Aficionados are required to lie expressionless with a straight body, hands by their sides with toes pointing into the ground.

According to the BBC, two groups claim to have invented the prank, either in Somerset in 2000 as the 'lying down game' which went online in 2007, or in South Australia the year after where it became known as planking.

On offer: Brooke Vincent then planked across the counter at The Kabin

Both groups have rival Facebook sites boasting more than 100,000 fans.

The phenomenon caused alarm in May when an Australian practitioner was killed trying it on a balcony in Brisbane, but falling to his death instead.

The victim, a man in his 20s, fell while a friend photographed him, according to police.

However, the only danger that the Corrie crew were likely to find themselve in was what Norris Cole would have done to Brooke if he'd caught her...

Corrie's Brooke Vincent almost comes a cropper when her bikini makes a bid for freedom as she holidays in Marbella

All at sea! Corrie's Brooke Vincent almost comes a cropper when her bikini makes a bid for freedom as she holidays in Marbella

She plays the bold as brass teen lesbian in Coronation Street - but Brooke Vincent almost revealed more than she intended on holiday near Marbella yesterday.

The 19-year-old soap star, who plays Sophie Webster on the show, was larking around in the sea when her pretty pink frilly bikini top almost came off.

Quick action from Brooke however saw to it that she didn't let it all hang out on holiday and she quickly recovered her composure in the surf.

Ooops! Brooke Vincent had to make a quick grab for her bikini top to avoid showing off more than she intended in the surf off Puerto Banus on her summer holiday

The star later retreated from the beach to the relative safety of the nearby Puerto Banus Ocean Club to sun herself around the pool - in an equally risky strapless monokini.

The star flew out to Malaga in Spain on Thursday and Tweeted the night before: 'Excited To C My Babe ☺ xx'
She was then seen round the pool having fun and chatting to a mystery man yesterday.

Centre of attention: The Corrie star was surrounded by men as she relaxed around the pool at the Sisu Boutique Hotel in Puerto Banus yesterday

However, Brooke is currently single.

She was said to have dated Arsenal star Jack Wilshere, but split from him in April when he got back together with his pregnant girlfriend.

After that, she was linked to two more footballers - Reece Wabara and Josh McEachran - but both romances were denied.

However, Brooke is having fun with her friends regardless of her romantic life, writing on her her Twitter yesterday: 'Having So Much Fun Here .... Getting Brown &Eating Loadza Carbs In Marbs'

Long way from Weatherfield: The 19-year-old showed off her stunning toned and tanned figure as she paddled in the Mediterranean

Whatever floats your boat: Brooke was looking shipshape as she and a friend messed around on a pedalo

Brooke certainly seems to love Spain - she was only there last month holidaying with co-star Sacha Parkinson, 19.

And just before she got on her flight on Thursday, she wrote to her Twitter followers: 'Cya In A Week Kiddos Get Me In That Sun ☀'

The star was also seen sunning herself at the Sisu Boutique Hotel in Puerto Banus near Marbella.

Witnesses said that Brooke was smoking cigarettes and drinking strawberry Daquiris while chatting to the the lads next to her catching the rays.
