Kimberly Hart-Simpson joined Coronation Street last week as former sex worker Nicky Wheatley in order to cause trouble for new couple Daniel Osbourne and Daisy Midgeley.
However, the actress states that in real life she is 'happy to be single' and she is proud to be pansexual.
She said that she has been sent a number of cruel memes online after coming out as pansexual, which is the romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity.
