(Ft best friends and a £3 charity shop dress and a heavenly venue). This weekend will stay with me for life. Daisy & Maj."

Next week Nicky fans will be glad to see her back on the street as surprisingly she bonds with former love Daniel's half brother Peter Barlow. Heading to the police station to pick up a fare Peter is surprised to see it is Nicky who has been arrested for no reason.

The pair find share a common interest over their contempt for authority trampling over the little man. Peter tells Daniel and Carla about his encounter with Nicky but he is shocked by his half-brother Daniel’s response.

Her character announced that she was moving out after expressing her true feelings for Daniel. The friends first met when, struggling over the death of his wife Sinead, Daniel ended up paying Nicky to wear her clothes. After leaving for a better life with her daughter Maisie, Nicky returned to the street to get a job as a teaching assistant at the same school as Daniel.

When Nicky told Daniel how she really felt and that they'd be good together he let her down gently and revealed that he still had feelings for Daisy. "It was a bit cramped anyway tbh," Kimberly shared alongside a goodbye snap of her and actor Rob Mallard posted to her Instagram page.
