Kimberly Hart-Simpson will return to Coronation Street as Nicky Wheatley very soon.
Nicky first appeared in Corrie in June 2020, following the death of Daniel Osbourne's wife Sinead.
Initially , Daniel thought Nicky was flirting with him, but she later told him about her job as an escort.

Over the following months, the pair grew closer, with Daniel talking to Nicky about Sinead's death and the pressure of being a single parent.
But Nicky left Weatherfield in September 2020.
Viewers saw Daniel give her money he'd stolen from Geoff Metcalfe, so she could quit her job as an escort and settle her debts.
But Kimberley, who plays Nicky, has confirmed on Instagram her return to the soap.
Last December, Kimberley posted a picture of her character on Instagram, with the caption: "She’s back! @coronationstreet 2022!!!
"Return of the side-eye."
And a few weeks ago, Kimberley posted a further update, where she could be seen in Corrie's dressing room wearing an ITV branded red coat.
Kimberley said: "Always thought I would make a good red coat. Good to be back."
Kimberley's friends congratulated on the role, with many saying they can't wait to see her on screen.
Shaughna Phillips said: "Yasssssssss."
Tom Malone Jnr said: "Back in the cobbles."
Wayne Lineker added: "You look amazing. Love you so much."
And Kel Allen said: "She’s back!!!!"
