Coronation Street's Kimberly Hart-Simpson first arrived on the cobbles as Nicky Wheatley back in June 2020.
Nicky struck up a close bond with school teacher Daniel Osbourne, before briefly leaving Weatherfield. The character then returned and was given a job as a teaching assistant at Daniel's school before she was suspended when her previous job as a sex worker was exposed by Max Turner.
Nicky left the soap in May of this year, when Daniel discovered Nicky packing her and daughter Maisie’s things, revealing she was off to stay with a friend for a while.
