Soap fans remarked that they looked more like sisters as Corrie's Kimberly Hart-Simpson posed alongside her mum. The actress, who is known as Nicky Wheatley in Coronation Street, proudly introduced her mother and "bestie" Gill Simpson at a glittering night out in Wilmslow.
The pair were all smiles at The Colony HQ in Wilmslow to celebrate the expansion of the Kiss Dental brand across the region, including new locations in Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Bramhall and Liverpool. The glam mother and daughter were also celebrating Gill's birthday at the star-studded event.
Posting pictures from the night on her Instagram Kimberly wrote sweetly: "Plz join me in wishing my mum happy bday. She has 200 followers and thinks she’s mint. Happy bday bestie."

Kimberly returned to our screens on Corrie last year as former sex worker Nicky after making her debut in 2020. After leaving for a better life with her daughter Maisie, Nicky returned to the street to get a job as a teaching assistant at the same school as her former love interest Daniel Osbourne.
The friends first met when, struggling over the death of his wife Sinead, Daniel ended up paying Nicky to wear her clothes. Their close friendship caused a rift between Daniel and his girlfriend Daisy.
Then Daniel gave the mother and daughter a place to live after pupil Max Turner leaked photos of her from her past work and she lost her job. When Nicky told Daniel how she really felt and that they'd be good together he let her down gently and revealed that he still had feelings for Daisy Midgeley, who he is set to marry tomorrow night (Monday March 27).
After moving out of Daniel's flat in May, Nicky was back on the street in July as she bonded with his half brother Peter Barlow. Heading to the police station to pick up a fare taxi driver Peter was surprised to see Nicky had been arrested for no reason. The pair vented their annoyance together and shared a common interest over their contempt for authority trampling over the little man.
