Brooke Vincent thinks Helen Flanagan is "misunderstood".
The 21-year-old beauty, who plays Sophie Webster in 'Coronation Street', says she misses her former on-screen sister and thinks the actress, who has become a tabloid fixture since her stint on 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' in 2012, is "doing well" as a model.
She said: "I really miss her and I'd love her to come back but she's doing her thing and she's doing well. She's got an amazing body and an amazing face and if she's getting work from that, then fair play to her. She's a very kind girl and misunderstood."
The soap star also revealed she was "gutted" when she joined 'Corrie' at the age of 11 because she had to cut her hair for the part of Sophie.
She told new! magazine: "I was gutted at first, because the choice was to join 'Corrie' and cut my hair, or not join the show and keep my hair long. It was a hard decision for an 11 year old - my hair was down to my bum and I cried when it was cut into a bob. But I got over it and it grew back eventually."

Kimberly Wyatt was hoping 'The Jump' would get her in shape before her wedding.
The 32-year-old singer signed up for the programme, which saw celebrities competing in dangerous winter sports, before she married her partner Max Rogers last month.
Although she initially though it would aid her fitness she realised how focused she needed to be to make sure she didn't get injured when filming began.
She said: "It didn't really cross my mind how dangerous it would be when I signed on the dotted line. If anything, I felt skiing and skating was the perfect way to get into bridal shape.
"But when I got out there and saw how intense these sports were I knew I had to focus in order to stay in one piece."
Max was more concerned about his wife's demeanour if she lost the competition, rather than potential injuries, however.
He joked to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "It did occur to me that she might get injured, but I was more concerned about the mood she'd be in if she got knocked out of the competition."
The pair announced their engagement in September 2013 and tied the knot on February 22.

Taylor Swift has obtained a restraining order against a man who believes he is married to the star.
The 24-year-old singer filed legal documents which claim Timothy Sweet has been stalking her since 2011, sending dozens of emails, letters and social media posts, in which he declared his love for the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker, according to TMZ.
Mr Sweet also vowed to "kill" anybody who stood between them, including America's Secretary of State, John Kerry, and claimed he would carry a gun to protect Taylor.
Among a number of messages he sent to the star, Mr Sweet, 33, said: "If anyone in Taylor's family get killed it is not my fault.
"My wife Taylor Swift (Sweet) and I live in Beverley Hills. I am in love with her. In conclusion, we treat each other with dignity and respect. I will carry a gun to protect her the rest of my life. (sic)."
He went on: "Dearest Taylor, I'll kill any man who gets in the way of our marriage. Message to John Kerry, Secretary of State. Message from YOUR presidential candidate (sic)."
The singer filed the request for the temporary order, which will expire on March 25, at Los Angeles Superior Court, and a judge has ordered Mr Sweet to stay at least 100 yards away from Taylor, her mother Andrea, father Scott and younger brother, Austin.
Taylor stated that Mr Sweet's behaviour is "seriously alarming and harassing" and the constant messages and phone calls are "extremely distressing to me and my family", adding that she does "not have desire to interact with or communicate in any way with Mr Sweet."

Sinitta insists she will never again be romantically linked to Simon Cowell now he has become a father.
The 'So Macho' singer, who is godmother to his newborn son, Eric, his first child with girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, claims their on/off relationship is finally over.
She told OK! Magazine: "The whole are-we-or-aren't-we thing with Simon and I ... Being a bit stuck or hung-up on each other, but not being able to fully commit to each other and equally not being able to fully move on ... In recent times we've finally been able to do that and him having a baby with Lauren certainly stops the yo-yo situation forever."
The brunette beauty thinks Simon, 54, has met his match with Lauren, 36, and feels they "deserve to be together" and be happy as a family with Eric, who was born on Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
Sinitta said: "Lauren has made my best friend extremely happy and he's finally found the woman he truly loves."
The 45-year-old singer, who dated Simon in the 1980s, admitted the TV mogul hasn't always been able to be a "faithful boyfriend" until now, but she insists he has been a "faithful friend" and she has a close bond with his mum Julie.
She said: "Simon and I have good times together. We care for each other's families. His mum's like my mother. I've known her since I was a teenager, we're old family friends."
Sinitta also addressed rumours that Simon, who is godfather to her children, gives her a wage, claiming she earns her own money but says he is generous when it comes to her son Zac, seven, and daughter Magdalena, eight.
She said: "When I was mentoring [on 'The X Factor'] he paid me the going rate. As godfather he pays towards my children's school fees and he buys us lovely birthday and Christmas presents. He's a generous friend but I earn my own money."

Kristen Bell wanted to create a heroine who is "flawed and goofy" for 'Frozen'.
The 33-year-old star voices Anna, princess of Arendelle, in Disney's animated film which was director by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and the filmmakers insist the actress shares similarities with her alter-ego.
Talking to empireonline.com, Lee said: "She came in to audition and she set the bar so high. She has a warmth to her and also a beautiful singing voice, which a lot of people don't realise.
"She's so funny and so smart, and there's so much of her in Anna. And like us, she wanted to create a heroine who's flawed and goofy and yet who's still inspirational."
Lee - who also penned the screenplay - admits she wrote the characters with particular stars in mind and found it easier to complete the script when she knew who'd been cast in the adventure.
She added: "She was a great partner. And the same with Jonathan Groff. They both really gave us the character's voice. I found I could write the roles much more easily when they were cast."

Fatboy Slim would be "dead by now" if he hadn't quit partying.
The 50-year-old DJ - real name Norman Cook - who checked into a rehab facility for alcohol abuse in March 2009 - believes he could have died if he hadn't become sober and thinks he's added years onto his career as a result.
He said: "I bought myself an extra 10 years as a DJ by quitting drinking. I definitely couldn't have carried on the life of a partying DJ. I would have either been burnt-out or dead by now"
The 'Right Here Right Now' singer - who has two children, Woody, 13 and Nelly, 4, with his wife Zoe Ball - says the decision to slow down came shortly after a "mid life crisis" born out of juggling a demanding career with fatherhood.
He told The Daily Telegraph website: "There was a big shift in my whole life when I stopped partying. It was my mid-life crisis, having a think about my priorities. I prefer being a DJ to making records. I haven't got time to do both and be a dad."
Although the BRIT Award-winning artist - who will be performing a series of sets during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil this summer - prefers playing to a live audience he admitted he will "probably" return to the studio at some point when his hectic schedule begins to take it's toll.
"I won't be able to live this pace of life, with late nights, forever. At some point I may decide, 'I don't want to go round the world playing to records to drunk people anymore.' Then I probably will go back into the studio. "

Mel C hopes Miley Cyrus is savvy enough to handle her career.
The former Spice Girls star thinks the singer's provocative outfits and twerking antics are harmless but she hopes she knows what she is doing when it comes to flashing flesh and she can deal with the pressure.
Mel told BANG Showbiz: "We were so innocent but the funny thing is, back in the mid 90s, we were criticised for being too sexual because we wore cropped tops, and you think what Miley's doing now!
"People who've worked quite close to Miley think she's pretty savvy, I just hope that really is the case, it's mature of her, if that's all her own work."
The 40-year-old singer - who has a five-year-old daughter, Scarlet, - with ex-partner Thomas Starr - was a "huge" fan of Madonna in the 1980s and claims she wasn't affected by watching her raunchy performances so doesn't think Miley's behaviour on stage is damaging to young fans.
She explained: "She [Madonna] really pushed the boundaries, and I don't think it affected me too much, watching her in videos and live concerts being very provocative.
"We're living in a society where it's becoming more and more sexualised early on. I just think it's a wild horse, you can't tame it, it's your responsibility to guide your children in the best way you can."
Mel also thinks it's "unfortunate" than many artists in the entertainment industry are vulnerable and can be badly affected by fame.
She added: "There seems to be so many people who are classed as celebrities these days. It's quite scary. There's very few people that go through success in entertainment unscathed."
Mel is supporting the P&G and Asda Clean Water Campaign to help provide 75 million days of clean drinking water to children worldwide by the end of 2014.
From 27th February, for every purchase of a P&G product - like Ariel, Gillette or Pampers - in Asda, P&G will donate one day of clean drinking water. Visit asda.com/cleanwater to find out more.

Kimberly Wyatt feels most "at home" in England.
The 32-year-old singer, who was born and raised in the US, married British model and writer Max Rogers last month and insists she couldn't think of another place she'd rather settle down and start a family.
She said: "England is where I feel more at home than anywhere else in the world - I'm a huge fan of the country. I've spent the last four years living and working here on 'Got to Dance' and this was where I first met Max and the place I see myself bringing up my family."
Kimberly's blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring echoes Duchess Catherine's - known as Kate Middleton before she marred into the Royal Family - pre-wedding jewellery, and her husband admits he chose it because it has a "British stamp" on it.
He explained to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I was going for British when I chose the ring. Kim is a bit of a Anglophile, so it was romantic point that we have an Anglo-American relationship, it was nice to have a little British stamp on it."

Barkhad Abdi is struggling financially.
The 'Captain Philips' star narrowly missed out on the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the Academy Awards on Sunday (02.03.14) but is said to have spent most of the $65,000 he was paid to film the movie - which was made two years ago - and is still looking for his next role.
The Somalia-born star - who plays the ringleader of a group of pirates who capture an American ship in 'Captain Philips', based on a true story - was working in his brother's mobile phone shop until recently and had previously been a limousine driver before attending an open casting call and winning the part of Muse in the film.
Speaking about why he quit working at the mobile shop, he told The New Yorker magazine: "How I thought about it was, like, when the movie came out, reviews either gonna be good or bad. Either way, I cannot be working here."
The article says Barkhad, 28, is looked after by the film's studio when he is in Los Angeles, as they give him expense money each day and put him up at the Beverly Hilton hotel, although he has recently requested to stay in a much less grand hotel near to LAX airport so he can be near a Somali friend.
It also points out his clothes for the Oscars were loaned, as they are with almost every star.
Barkhad recently won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor and said his co-star, Tom Hanks, had given him valuable advice for the future.
He said: "He tells me, career-wise, just use it wisely and work your hardest."

Katy Perry broke up with John Mayer because he kept breaking promises.
The 'Teenage Dream' singer had an on/off relationship with the guitar player from 2012, but they decided to finally split last month, blaming her upcoming Prismatic tour, although a source claims there was more to it than conflicting schedules.
The insider told HollywoodLife.com: "The last time they broke up John won her back by making a ton of promises. He was going to put her first, but now he's falling back into his old patterns.
"Like, he shuts off his phone and disappears all day and night - he says it's because he needs alone time, but it's sketchy for sure."
Katy, 29, was left heartbroken when her marriage to Russell Brand ended after 14 months in December 2011, and is now not prepared to deal with difficult behaviour from the man in her life.
The source added: "Katy isn't willing to put up with any shenanigans. She's devastated but she felt she had to do this to take care of herself."
The duo released a romantic duet 'Who You Love' last December and looked cosy on Valentine's day when Katy was spotted with a ring on her wedding finger, but only weeks later they parted, although one friend thinks they could get back together in the future.
They said: "Not sure how long it will last this time but yes, it is off for now."

John Travolta planned to party all night after the Oscars.
The 'Saturday Night Fever' star may have fluffed his lines introducing Idina Menzel at Sunday's (02.03.14)
Academy Awards, but wasn't letting it get him down, and looked to party the night away with his wife Kelly Preston after the event.
He told TV Show Entertainment Tonight: "Let me tell you what I do - I don't drink very much, but I wait until Oscar night to have my drinks. So now I'm ready to stay out until five in the morning.
"We're gonna do [the] Vanity Fair [party], then we're gonna do Madonna's party, and we're gonna have fun tonight. I'm not gonna be happy until we see the sun rise."
John was also full of enthusiasm for his 'Grease' co-star Olivia Newton-John's current residency in Las Vegas, but wouldn't let on if he plans to join her on stage at any point.
He said: "How exciting is that? But you know, I need rehearsal for that stuff, you know what I mean? She's like, so used to it, because she sings every night."

Taylor Swift ran into Harry Styles at an Oscars party on Saturday night (01.03.14).
The '22' hitmaker saw her One Direction hunk ex-boyfriend at the Weinstein party held at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel, but things weren't frosty between them and they happily chatted away.
A source told E! News: "They've stayed in touch and were speaking for a while [at the party]. People think they don't talk but they're friends and on good terms. There are no bad feelings between them whatsoever."
Taylor, 24, and Harry, 20, dated for around three months before splitting in January 2013, and she went on to write the song 'I Knew You We're Trouble' about him. They both have a mutual friend in singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, who Taylor was out partying with the next night, posing with him for pictures in the photo booth at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.
British star Harry - who has recently been linked to Kendall Jenner - is a big fan of Los Angeles life, spending lots of time in the city as it's easy for him to remain anonymous.
The source added: "He likes being in Los Angeles because it's easier for him to go out and go unnoticed than it is for him in London."
