Coronation Street pair Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson have confessed that offscreen they are always arguing with one another. The pair - who play lovers Sophie Webster and Sian Powers in the soap - are best friends in real life, but admitted that they don't always see eye to eye. "We've been pictured out together when we've been in absolute moods with each other and no one notices!" Sacha told Star Magazine. "We see each other every day so we do get annoyed with each other! But we're more like sisters. I like to think I'm the sensible older sister - I'm always telling Brooke to calm down!" "We do a photo shoot and I always try to get the best outfit, so that'll cause a row," Brooke added. "Our relationship and friendship is pretty much what you see on-screen. Well, apart from the whole kissing and going out together thing!" However the girls said that they were grateful for their close friendship and added that it probably contributes to the success of their characters' relationship. "We're lucky we do everything together anyway," Brooke said. "We've known each other since we were seven, we went to drama school together! It was a coincidence that Sacha got Corrie as well. I guess our chemistry works!"
