Coronation Street Kimberly Hart-Simpson has sent fans wild with a glimpse of herself back in her dressing room after revealing that her character was returning to Weatherfield.
Kimberly Hart-Simpson wowed as she posed in the famous ITV red coat as she makes her comeback as Nicky Wheatley.
The character was a big hit with viewers in a moving storyline that saw the sex worker grow close to grieving Daniel Osbourne following the tragic death of his wife Sinead.
Her return is bound to cause chaos for teacher Daniel who has since fallen for feisty Rovers Return barmaid Daisy Midgeley and is currently dating newcomer Lydia Chambers.
Kimberly, who starred in the dating series Celebs Go Dating last January, captioned the photo shared on her Instagram: "Always thought I would make a good red coat ent."
And she added "good to be back" with a love heart.
Fans flocked to share their excitement over her return.

Kimberly arrived as Nicky in Corrie in June 2020 and she left in September that year.
Nicky came into widower Daniel's life when Adam Barlow decided it was time for him to get out and about following the death of Sinead from cervical cancer in October 2019.
The pair hit it off at a drinks reception but Daniel was shocked to realise she was charging for his time when he asked to see her again.
But he decided to meet up with her in a hotel and paid her £220 as he opened up to her about missing his late wife.
He paid her to wear his wife's clothes and it soon became clear that Daniel had feelings for her, urging her to quit her life as a sex worker.
When Nicky ended up in hospital following a nasty attack, Daniel stole money from vile Geoff Metcalfe and gave it to the single mum so she could start a new life.
Kimberly annouced her return in December with photos from her stint as Nicky.
"She’s back! @coronationstreet 2022!!!" she exclaimed.
"Return of the side eye."
