Coronation Street fans best know Kimberly Hart-Simpson as Daniel's former flame Nicky Wheatley, who has been causing a stir on the cobbles as she went head-to-head with Daisy to compete for his affections.But away from the ITV soap, Kimberly has a very different career altogether, as she actually makes dresses for brands including Asos and Urban Outfitters.Kimberly is an advocate for sustainable fashion on her social media, and volunteers at her local British Heart Foundation charity shop as well as showing off the clothing bargains she picks up from thrift shops across the country.And that passion grew into upcycling her own wardrobe, making sustainable pieces for various fashion brands as well as hosting her own online store, HartWork.It all began when she invested in her first sewing machine - purchased on store credit because she couldn't afford it outright.Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Kimberly explained: "I got a sewing machine a couple of years ago, and that saved my mental health massively, because I had this thing where I could turn something that’s destined for landfill into something beautiful again."That just resonates with me in life! You’re saving the planet and working on yourself and then you see something beautiful - what’s not to love about that whole thing?"She continued: "It started off making a couple of pencil cases on the cheapest sewing machine I could find. I put it on an Argos card because I couldn’t afford to buy it outright, so for starters I decided to make a couple of things..."Then my friend Jessica Ellis from Hollyoaks was going to the Soap Awards, and she said, 'Can you make me a dress?' and I was like, 'Yeah...

Emmerdale fans didn't hold back as they took a brutal swip at David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden. The couple have been seen discussing their relationship on screen this week as David suggested the pair had got in a bit of a 'rut'.

Coronation Street star Shelley King has teased an upcoming romance plot between her character Yasmeen Metcalfe and former homeless man Stu Carpenter.Now working at Speed Daal and living with Yasmeen, things are certainly on the up for Stu, who was instrumental in getting Corey Brent sent down for the murder of Seb Franklin.Earlier this month, it was revealed that Stu has a daughter, Bridget, who he hasn't spoken to for years.Yasmeen was left heartbroken to discover Stu isn't even aware he's now a granddad, and became determined to track Bridget down after all these years.Now things could be looking up, as actress Shelley exclusively hinted to Daily Star that she hopes Yasmeen will find love with the "gentle" Stu.Shelley appeared at the MEN Pride of Manchester Awards earlier this month alongside her co-stars Julia Goulding (Shona Platt) and Sair Khan (Alya Nazir) to present a gong to PC Simon Toft and PC Alicia Snowden for their extraordinary bravery.The officers were first on the scene at a medical centre where a man was armed with knives and a meat cleaver, keeping patients and staff trapped.When asked if she thinks romance is on the cards, Shelley told Daily Star at the ceremony: "I think possibly! I think that Yasmeen’s had enough of a hard journey through her relationship life with her husband and her son who died, and now she’s met this gentle man who’s also flawed."Yasmeen is a mender, she’s a fixer, and I think that’s very attractive to her. He’s gentle, he’s human, he’s cuddly - and Yasmeen wants to save him."So let’s see what happens as their relationship grows, because the scriptwriters also watch Bill [Fellows] and myself and see what we can give them.

Coronation Street fans are convinced a cryptic clue has rumbled the true identity of Jacob Hay.The youngster is portrayed by actor Jack James Ryan on the ITV soap and has caused his fair share of trouble since rocking up in Weatherfield last year.Having struck up a relationship with Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Tracy Barlow's daughter Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney), Jacob was recently rumbled sneaking a shower at Eileen Grimshaw's house by a horrified Tracy (Kate Ford).Asked about his parentage by his girlfriend's mother, Jacob then dropped a big hint that his mother may be Steve's ex-wife Karen McDonald.In the potentially pivotal conversation, Tracy sat Jacob down and demanded an explanation as to why he was showering at Eileen's.Explaining that he and Amy had been struggling to pay their bills and that their flat was subsequently full of dampness, the retired drug dealer was then asked about his childhood.Tracy said: "At the risk of sounding impossibly naïve, where were your mam and dad when all of this was going on?"I take it they weren't at the country estate."Jacob replied: "My mum was in and out of prison."While seemingly not too leading, the tidbit could prove significant as theories about Jacob's mother begin to emerge.It has since been suggested that Jacob's mother could indeed be Karen McDonald, who was played by Suranne Jones and hasn't been seen on the soap since 2004.Karen and Tracy were famously love rivals both vying for the affection of Steve.Jacob being Karen's son would certainly be an ironic twist since Amy's conception caused a deep rift between Tracy and Karen.In one classic Corrie moment, Karen stole Tracy's car and set it on fire - with fears Amy was still inside it.Thankfully, the tot was being

Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson has hinted at the return of an iconic character to woo Daisy Midgeley after her split from Daniel Osbourne.Daisy was left devastated when Daniel assumed she was the one to inform the school about Nicky Wheatley’s sex worker past - when really Max Turner was behind it.But now a new fling could be on the cards, as Kimberly was quizzed on how she wants Nicky and Daniel to interact in the future.Though she went ahead with shooting her shot last week and was rejected, new romance could still be on the cards - especially if Daisy finds someone else.Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Kimberly admitted the “ideal situation” for Nicky would be for her character to try and reunite Daisy with an ex flame.She giggled: “She’d try and call Ashley to come back in, the footballer, see if she gets with him!“With Daisy I think she can negotiate that. Nicky’s a feisty woman, she’ll be sound and she’ll want Daisy to find love.

Coronation Street fans have been left surprised by Shona Platt during the most recent trip to Weatherfield. The ITV soap character, played by Julia Goulding, was causing a distraction for Amy Barlow as she tried to work in Roy's Rolls.

BBC announced in September 2021 that the school-based programme would be returning to screens based back in Manchester with the makers of New Tricks, Wall to Wall producing it alongside a Manchester-based label, Rope Ladder Fiction who had previously worked on the show.Earlier this year, it was announced that Angela Griffin would be returning alongside Katie Griffiths as Chlo Charles and Adam Thomas as Donte Charles.While Angela's character, Kim Campbell, may have been head of pastoral care – she's now stepped up as headteacher.Speaking exclusively about the show at the Pride of Manchester Awards, she told Daily Star: "It's bloody brilliant, she's very different this time."What's happened to Kim in the last six years? You'll have to wait to find out when it comes back."She's a different person, definitely, things have happened and it all comes out when we come back."Opening up about the changes in the show and working with Katie and Adam again, she said: "It's a little bit weird because he's married with two children."To me, I find that weird because he's still a student, he's 15 but yeah, all good."Reflecting on becoming headteacher, Angela said: "Stepping into Jack's shoes, Rachel's shoes, it's really good, I'm really quite enjoying it – I think I'm a great head."The lovely Kym Marsh who is presenting is on the team."Angela attended the awards ceremony alongside new co-star Vincent Jeremone who plays her deputy head, Lindon King.He said: "You make a great head."Discussing his latest role, Vincent said: "It's an experience, it's great, everybody is wonderful and I'm having a great time."Reminiscing on the previous seasons, he said he had "dipped in and out" of watching the show.Vincent continued: "I watched more of you

Coronation Street. The Nicky Wheatley star admitted she "grew up with" Peter, who has played vicar Billy Mayhew's ex Paul Foreman since 2018.And now that Nicky has moved in with teacher Daniel Osbourne, the house might be becoming more crowded - but it's definitely a dynamic Kimberly is enjoying.Current members of the household include Paul, Daniel, Nicky, Nicky's daughter Maisie and Daniel's son Bertie - and that's all in one small flat.And as Kimberly teased a heating up of the romance between Nicky and Daniel after his split from Daisy, she's looking forward to more scenes with Peter in particular.Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Kimberly splurged: "So I've actually just done some work with Peter Ash because [Paul] is living in the same house."I’ve worked with Peter Ash for many years in previous history, because we both grew up together in the acting world!"Kimberly and Peter both starred in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, with Kimberly starring as Davina from 2017 and Peter appearing in 2018 as Ron.She previously told Daily Star that she knew both Abi actress Sally Carman and Peter from appearing at various screen tests for Corrie, explaining: "I've been friends with Sally for years and she's been up for several screen tests as well."We both got told all the time it will happen.

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.

Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson has teased a racy OnlyFans storyline for her character Nicky Wheatley and Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson).In a chat about her character's future with Daily Star and other press, Kimberly hinted that the NSFW subscription site could be brought onto the cobbles as a way to bring the soap further into the 21st century.OnlyFans allows content creators of any kind to make money from its platform, but the site also tends to include plenty of racy shots, videos and other content.Speaking to press, Kimberly gushed: "I think Nicky and Leanne Battersby, there could be a bit of a connection there because they’ve got similar backgrounds - that’s a story there, the two of them connecting over their experiences. "As we all know, right now the sex industry - which is the longest lasting tradition - in terms of what we’ve just gone through, OnlyFans is thriving so I think it would be interesting to tap into things like that, and areas like that which are so relevant in our world now," she added.

Fans now best recognise her for playing Nicky Wheatley in Coronation Street but there’s a lot more to Kimberly Hart-Simpson than being an actress. Away from the ITV soap, the 35-year-old is a businesswoman having set up a sustainable rework brand, Hart-Work, in 2018 and all the items for sale are handmade by the soap star herself.
