ITV Corrie's Kimberly Hart-Simpson 'overwhelmed' after paying tribute to her 'hardcore' soap fan late dad

Kimberley Hart-Simpson has paid tribute to her late father who she described as a 'hardcore' Coronation Street fan. The actress, who plays Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap, took to Instagram with a sweet message in tribute to her dad.

Sharing a photo of him to her Instagram Story over the weekend, Kimberly wrote: "This is my dad. Today is his birthday. 21 again. He is no longer with us but will never leave me." She added that he was "one of my biggest driving forces" before sharing the things he loved.

"It's my duty to keep talking about him so his soul still exists. Here's to parents lost and living," the 35-year-old added with a heart. "Things he loved. 1. Cups of tea 2. Corrie (hardcore) 3. Drumming. 4. Getting on my nerves. 5. Moaning (highly skilled)."
