Six-year-old Lucia Aliu has joined Kimberly Hart-Simpson on Coronation Street as Maisie Wheatley and the newcomer has already been hailed a 'little star' by fans. Lucia plays the young daughter of former sex worker Nicky Wheatley who has just moved in with Daniel Osbourne after losing her job at Weatherfield High School.
Lucia, from Liverpool, made her debut in the ITV soap on April 11 and she impressed as she featured in comical scenes on Monday night (April 25) as Nicky had an angry showdown with a journalist for the Weatherfield Gazette about reporting on her past. Nicky told Maisie to cover her ears and the youngster dutifully did as she was told.
A proud Kimberly shared a photo of the pair on the street on Instagram and wrote: "@luciaofficial smashed it lasy night. Well done gal." Lucia's official Instagram account shared a photo of the row as praised her co-stars.
