Vincent was born in Audenshaw, Greater Manchester, England to Nicola Anderton, a crime scene officer for Greater Manchester Police, and Anthony Vincent, a tour guide in Tenerife. Her parents separated when she was two; she was raised by her mother and her stepfather, John McDermott. Vincent has a paternal older half-brother, Zak, and a younger maternal half-sister, Maisie. Vincent is the cousin of Ellie Leach, a fellow Coronation Street actress, who plays Faye Windass; Vincent was said to be "overjoyed" by Leach's casting in the soap.
