She can usually be found wearing jeans and jumpers as Sian Powers in Coronation Street.
So it must come as a welcome break for Sacha Parkinson to be able to strip down to a bikini while on holiday.
The 19-year-old actress was seen soaking up the sun with a group of friends while on holiday in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, earlier this week.
Nautical but nice: Coronation Street star Sacha Parkinson showed off her curves in a red and white striped bikini while on holiday in Cyprus
What's going on? Sacha looks perturbed as a group of young boys start splashing water at her
Going for a colour co-ordinated look, Sacha teamed her red and white nautical bikini bottoms with a white triangle bikini top.
She also teamed her outfit with a New York Yankees red and white baseball cap to set her beachside style off.
Absent from the holiday was Sacha's Coronation Street co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays her lesbian lover Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, who frequently accompanies her actress friend on holidays.

What's wrong? Sacha looked downcast as she sat on the beach, perhaps because her boyfriend Josh Wakefield wasn't there and was instead with his friends out in Ayia Napa
Sacha was instead accompanied by her boyfriend, property surveyor Josh Wakefield, on the trip.
However, as Josh was also with a group of friends, the pair didn't enjoy a splash around in the sea together, with Sacha instead looking perturbed as a nearby group of young boys started splashing her.
The fact that Josh was nowhere to be seen could also be the reason for Sacha's slightly subdued behaviour, as the actress was seen looking downcast as she sat on the sandy beach.
Screen star: Sacha was recently seen enjoying a girly holiday in Spain with co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays her lesbian lover Sophie Webster in the soap
Sacha and Corrie co-star Brooke made history as the street’s first female gay couple and insisted that they’ll leave the soap if producers break up their character’s relationship.
And Brooke recently revealed the pair often pretend their relationship is real to get themselves out of sticky situations.
She said: 'Sometimes for a laugh we pretend we are a real couple. We were out in London recently and this boy was desperate to talk to Sacha. He wouldn't leave her alone. I was so fed up, I said, "Mate, do you want to stop talking to my bird?" And then we both marched off hand in hand!'
