Taking to Instagram, Brooke shared a snap ahead of filming for the upcoming documentary.
Alongside the post, she wrote: “Whaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
Brooke’s soap surprise comes days after her former co-star and pal Michelle Keegan also returned to the set.
The actress, who appeared as Tina McIntyre, left the soap back in 2014 after her character was killed off.
Why did Brooke Vincent leave Corrie?
Brooke gave birth to little Mexx last October, and remains on maternity leave.
She previously took to social media to share an emotional video from her last day on set.
The clip showed the actress surrounded by her co-stars as she filmed her final scenes.
She wrote: “I can’t believe 15 years ago I came onto the street to play ‘Sophie Webster’ and today I left to play my biggest role yet ‘Mummy’.
“My amazing family at Coronation Street, I am going to miss you all so much.
“Thank you for always looking after me, for keeping me on the straight and narrow and for letting me get away with murder over the years.”
When is Brooke returning to the soap?
Back in August, Brooke revealed she didn’t have any plans to return to Coronation Street just yet.

“Hopefully not too long though.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
