Kimberly Hart-Simpson will be stretching her acting muscles in a different way after confirming her Coronation Street exit - and it couldn't be further from the cobbles. The actress joined the ITV soap as Nicky Wheatley back in 2020. But after a brief stint she left only to return back in March.
Viewers saw her character trying to get a new job and secure a good home for her and her daughter, Maisie, while also reconnecting with Daniel Osbourne. However, her life was blown apart when her past as a sex worker was leaked to the whole school by devious student Max Turner.
Losing her job, Nicky was unable to afford to home she had found for her and Maisie and Danile ended up taking her in. But he soon reconciled with girlfriend Daisy Midgeley, despite Nicky confessing her feelings for him, and Nicky felt it was time to move out. She did make a brief return earlier this month in scenes alongside Peter Barlow.
