ITV Coronation Street's Kimberly Hart-Simpson shares pride for sex worker storyline and what she wants for Nicky
Kimberly Hart-Simpson has shared her pride at being able to portray Nicky Wheatley’s sex worker past in Coronation Street. The actress made her Weatherfield debut in 2020 when her character 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.
However, Kimberly has since got back into character as Nicky made a comeback on the cobbles earlier this year. Nicky landed a job as a teaching assistant at the same school Daniel works at, Weatherfield High.
