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.

Thor fans' excitement has been building over the upcoming latest movie featuring everyone's favourite hammer-swinging Norse god and Avenger.In particular, they've been clamouring for footage of that film's main bad guy - namely Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher - with many fearing that he won't end up looking anything like he does in the comic books.And now the new trailer's finally dropped all those people seem to be saying the same thing - that he's more goth than Gorr and the spitting image of US shock rocker Marilyn Manson.The online promo from Marvel Studios, which landed earlier today, introduces Welsh-born Bale's arch villain as a white-skinned character in robes who sports scars all over his face and has fearsome glowing yellow eyes.But, while the movie's celebrated director Taika Waititi is already calling Bale "probably the best villain Marvels' ever had," fans have been taking to Twitter to express their own opinions. "Looks like Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher dipped into late '90s Marilyn Manson videos," posted one, while another added, "I, for one, am looking forward to Marilyn Manson making his debut as the newest Marvel villain.""Yo!

Beautiful day for a visit to Coverack.”In the picture the ship sits atop the water so perfectly still it has become the colour of the sky.While sadly not actually some kind of futuristic boat-plane hybrid, the picture amazed people on a local Facebook - group describing it as "an amazing shot".Such phenomenon has been seen before in Cornwall, with different explanations given.In 2017 Rosie Patterson in Porthleven captured what appeared to be a 'flying' container off the coast of the port.At the time it was explained as a rare state of conditions, in which the sea in the foreground of the picture was choppy, with waves, while further back out to sea where the ship was anchored the water was calm and mirror-flat.This created the illusion of the ship apparently sitting in the sky, with the horizon line placed along top of the choppy water.However, when a similar image was captured by David Morris at Gillan Cove back in March last year, a different explanation was given.At that time BBC meteorologist David Braine described as a "superior mirage", which were common in the Arctic but happened only "very rarely" in the UK.A superior mirage is one in which the image appears to be located above the real object, caused when the air below the line of sight is colder,
