Brooke Vincent wants place on Strictly Come Dancing

Brooke Vincent wants to compete on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 25-year-old actress is currently preparing for the final of ‘Dancing On Ice’ on Sunday (11.03.18), but is already looking ahead to the future and wants to be on the rival BBC ballroom
and Latin competition.
And the ‘Coronation Street’ star thinks it will be easier to master dance than she found learning to skate.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I’d love to do ‘Strictly’, it’s a lovely show.
"I hadn’t been dancing and I hadn’t been skate trained. But with ice skating, half of your battle is that you’re not going to fall flat on your face.
"With ‘Strictly’, that battle is taken away."
While Brooke – who portrays Sophie Webster on ‘Corrie’ – is thrilled she and her professional partner Matej Silecky have secured a place in the final of ‘Dancing on Ice’, she’s more proud that she’s managed to quit smoking during her training for the show.
She said: "I think my boyfriend and my family are just so happy I gave up smoking. That’s more of the health side of it.
"You yo-yo with your body depending on what month it is but for me, whatever happens on Sunday, I gave up smoking.
"That was a massive thing for me before I even got to learn how to skate."
Brooke will go head-to-head against reality TV star Jake Quickenden and rugby player Max Evans in this week’s final.
