British Soap Awards 2019: Pregnant Brooke Vincent reveals her bump in gold sequins as she joins Corrie co-stars Lucy Fallon and Faye Brookes on the star-studded red carpet… amid show’s mass cast exodus
Stars of the biggest British dramas have descended on The British Soap Awards 2019 hosted at The Lowry Theatre in Salford, Manchester.
And Coronation Street stars Brooke Vincent, Lucy Fallon and Faye Brookes led the star-studded arrivals at the prestigious awards on Saturday evening – amid the popular soap’s mass cast exodus, which has seen the exit of seven cast members in just three months.
Pregnant Coronation Street star Brooke, 26, showcased her growing bump in a vintage-inspired gold sequin dress as she proudly cradled her stomach on the red carpet.

The gorgeous dress, which featured elegant flared sleeves, plunged at the star’s decolletage while skimming neatly over her burgeoning bump in shimmering sequins.
The Sophie Webster actress boosted her height with nude strappy stiletto sandals.
Her brunette tresses were styled in loose waves while smoky shadow, fluttery lashes and a slick of rose lipstick accentuated her gorgeous features.

She said: ‘I’ve said to Kean that I hope our child is a show off, I want it to be a performer like me.’
Brooke told how she enjoys a close relationship with her own mother and is hoping for the same when her child is born.

The star told The Sun: ‘It’s the end of my contract. It’s come to an end. I want to go out on a high.
‘I’ve had a lot of storylines to be fair. I’ve loved my four years. I’m really grateful to Corrie to leave it open ended because it means I can come back.’
This comes after it was claimed that upset has been brewing behind the scenes, as several stars are unhappy with the vast differences in salary.
A source adds that the pay gaps have been an ‘open secret’ among the cast, with many stars earning more money for far less screen time.
They said: ‘Lucy is just the latest to get fed up of seeing great opportunities go to waste because Corrie won’t let her take them on.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Coronation Street for comment.
It has also been claimed that cast members are demanding producers lift a ban on stars appearing in panto, with similar limits being put on the stars cashing in with big-money endorsement deals.
The Irish Sun goes onto claim that many stars are upset with the recent changes to working hours, which require cast members to not only work weekends, but be on call to film scenes anytime during the day or night.
With this recent upset, sources claim that the opportunities available away from the Corrie cobbles have become more and more appealing.

Sources have told MailOnline that Iain is not to blame for the numerous cast departures, but it can be noted that during his stint as Emmerdale boss from 2016 to 2018, ten cast members quit in a year.

The pair have been an item since 2017 and became engaged in 2018 at Christmastime, after moving into their Cheshire home earlier that year.
