Coronation Street viewers have recently seen Nicky Wheatly arrive back in Weatherfield and last week her past came back to haunt her. The character, played by Kimberly Hart-Simpson, first appeared in the ITV soap in June 2020 when she met recently widowed Daniel Osbourne.
It wasn't long before Daniel, whose wife Sinead Tinker died from cervical cancer in 2019, discovered Nicky was an escort and after being shocked at first, he later started paying her to dress in his wife's clothes as he struggled through his grief. After a four-month stint, Kimberly bowed out of the soap as Nicky, with the help of Daniel, started a new life with her daughter away from Weatherfield.
She then made a surprise return and Nicky landed a job as a teaching assistant at the same school Daniel works at, Weatherfield High. However, that all started to fall apart last week when Max Turner overheard Daniel and new girlfriend rowing in the street about his relationship with Nicky and discovering her past work.
