Nicky Wheatley returns to Coronation Street – here’s the lowdown on who she is

Nicky Wheatley returns to Coronation Street tonight as Daniel fights to clear his name over missing Lauren. But is Nicky’s return about to get him in even more trouble?

It’s fair to say Nicky has caused rather a lot of strife for Daniel over the years. Here’s everything that’s happened during her Corrie stints.

Who is Nicky Wheatley in Coronation Street?

Nicky arrived in June 2020 after meeting Daniel Osbourne at an event. He soon found out she was an escort and the two began meeting up.

Why is Nicky back?

Nicky returns to Coronation Street tonight (Friday April 19) after Daniel calls her. With rumours circulating that Lauren was a sex worker, and Daniel one of two suspects in the frame he’s desperate to find out what really happened to Lauren and clear his name.

Nicky, now a community support worker, brings with her a woman who still works on the streets. As they talk, Max and Bobby, who have followed Daniel, take pictures of them. They believe this means Daniel is guilty.

Will Nicky be able to provide any insight to help Daniel? Or is her return just going to make everything worse?

Of her return actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson said: “It’s been four years since we first met Nicky and it is once again a pleasure to be back on the cobbles.”

She added: “Nicky has fought against all stereotypes and I am looking forward to the audience finding out who and where she is today.”
