Coronation Street’s Kimberly Hart-Simpson is on the prowl and looking for love – and says Instagram is “like a dating app”.
Kimberly, who plays sex worker Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap, says she has seen friends find someone on the social media site.
Hoping to slip into the DMs of someone new after ditching trendy celeb love app, Raya, the 33-year-old says she is ‘use to rejection’ due to her career.
She said: “If you see someone you like and want to know if they’re available, why not? They can only say ‘no’.”
Before adding that she’s used to being “rejected all the time” from working as an actor, The Mirror writes.

The star says she knows people who have met on Instagram and if there was someone she liked she’d approach them.
“I will put myself out there,” she added.
The Corrie actor admitted she hasn’t been on dating app for a long time and used Raya before joining the soap.
She claims “you are always seeing people you know on Tinder” and would end up bumping into people.

She’d rather use a friend’s contacts and see if a date is on the cards.
Kimberly split from Shane, 32, last month after the pair met through Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating series.
She took to Instagram to update fans: “After 6 months of dating Shane and I have decided to part ways.
“We are proud of our journey and respect each other immensely. The show has been the best experience.
“Our journey after that even better but with the distance between us, work commitments and restrictions can naturally take its toll.
“Thank you for the love you have given us, it has not been wasted. XX”
The actress opened up about single life and urged people to get involved in the British Heart Foundation’s Reuse Revolution campaign and snap up preloved clothes.

The cause is close to her heart after her sister Emma, 46, has been diagnosed with a heart disease.
Emma was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease that affects the heart muscle.
She said: “The doctors thought it was just anxiety at first but it’s petrifying because she spent a long time in hospital before they found the real issue.
“She’s on medication now and she’s doing OK but she does struggle and gets tired a lot.”
Kimberly added they’re an ‘optimistic family’ and will “have to get on with it”.“
