Coronation Street's Kimberly Hart-Simpson has revealed her character will return to the cobbles after her exit.
The soap star is renowned for her role as former sex worker Nicky Wheatley on the long-running soap. She first arrived on the Cobbles in June 2020 and struck up a close bond with school teacher Daniel Osbourne.
Nicky returned to Weatherfield earlier this year and has endured a turbulent period on the ITV show. The character was given a job as a teaching assistant at Daniel's school before she was suspended when her previous job was exposed by Max Turner.

Many fans were sad to see her go. Suzanne Devrainbow said: "Ahh you're not leaving are you?", while Andy Downes said: "You've not left have you?! [sad face]"
The actress responded to fans, saying: "You will see Nicky again".
