Coronation Street fans make same joke as Nicky star shows off new look

Coronation Street's Kimberly Hart-Simpson first arrived on the cobbles as Nicky Wheatley back in June 2020.

Nicky struck up a close bond with school teacher Daniel Osbourne, before briefly leaving Weatherfield. The character then returned and was given a job as a teaching assistant at Daniel's school before she was suspended when her previous job as a sex worker was exposed by Max Turner.

Nicky left the soap in May of this year, when Daniel discovered Nicky packing her and daughter Maisie’s things, revealing she was off to stay with a friend for a while.

However, Kimberly has since teased her return to the long-running ITV soap. When many disappointed fans took to social media over Nicky's return, the actress responded, saying: "You will see Nicky again".

Away from the cobbles, Kimberly is a huge fashion fan. She regularly peruses charity shops for bargains and even wears some of the outfits to high profile events. She also appears to have a favourite clothing brand, judging by a room in her house. Kimberly is known for her signature blonde locks, but on Sunday she teased a new look.

In a selfie posted on Instagram, the star could be seen wearing white Adidas trainers with a matching bikini top and a white mini skirt. In the photo, she has long white blonde hair that cascades over her shoulders. The snap was taken in a room of her house that is covered in Adidas items and branding.

Captioning the post, she simply said: "My home". Many fans were quick to compliment the actress, as some made the same joke.

Liv Cooke said: "What's your favourite brand?", to which Kimberly replied: "Aldi". Charlotte said: "Can tell from this photo that you absolutely love Nike [laughing emoji]", while Karl Queensborough said: "Clearly love Nike, don’t ya?"

Clare Stephens said: "Gorgeous", while Joanna said: "Love a bit of Adidas me, and loving the new hair".
