Brooke Vincent has been showing off her maternal side in her latest Instagram snap.

'Aww how adorable xx,' said one follower, while a second admirer: 'Ah precious moments 💖💖.'

Another pointed out that they think Brooke will make an amazing mother herself one day.

'You look like a natural Brooke 😉,' they quipped.

Brooke - who is best known for portraying Sophie Webster on ITV soap Coronation Street - played a mum-to-be in a theatre production called Be My Baby back in 2016.

But speaking to Lorraine Kelly at the time, she made it clear that she’s in no rush to start a family of her own.

'I'd have the bump not the baby,' Brooke told the 58-year-old Glaswegian. 'It's the baby and then they grow up and you have to feed them and all that. Got ages yet!'

The brunette did however admit that she did enjoy having to wear a prosthetic baby bump on stage, even though she found it tiring.

'You get a bit attached to that,' she added.

'It's a bit like when you take it off, this is going to sound really bad, but when you take your bra off at the end of the night it's like "aah", it's like relief. It's like I've been carrying this big bump around all day!'
