Emmerdale Nicola star says dog 'got excited' and 'thrusted on her' while on ITV set

Emmerdale’s Nicola King actress Nicola Wheeler appeared on The Big Soap quiz on Friday night (December 9).

And while appearing on the show, the beloved ITV1 soap star recalled how while on-set, a dog “got excited” and “thrusted” on her.

Speaking to Stephen Mulhern, who is at the helm of the quiz show that sees Coronation Street go up against Emmerdale, the magician and Britain’s Got More Talent host welcomed Nicola to the programme.

When he introduced her, he referred to her as an “Emmerdale legend”, which almost left her quite angry.

Nicola Wheeler has portrayed Nicola for 21 years

“I’m too young to be a legend,” she jokingly added, before chatting with Stephen about how easy it is that her on-screen name is the same as her real name.

“Can you believe you’ve been in Emmerdale for 21 years?” he asked her, before adding: “What would you say has been your highlight, the one thing you always think about?”

Stephen Mulhern was even in hysterics

“Well, one was a chihuahua getting excited on my back,” Nicola revealed candidly.

“Did it stay in [the edit of the episode],” Stephen asked, to which Nicola replied: “Yes, I think they did put it in, but I don’t know if they did with the thrusting.”

Stephen then exclaimed: “It was a hot dog!”

Watching along and reacting through the show’s hashtag, one viewer penned: “Nicola Wheeler is hilarious.”

Prior to her role in Emmerdale, which she stepped into back in 2001, Nicola had a role in rival soap Corrie.

She recalled how a dog thrusted on her back

In 1999, she was cast in Coronation Street as Melanie Tindel, which then led to her Emmerdale role of Nicola King (nee Blackstock) in 2001.

At first she starred in Emmerdale for just five years before announcing her decision to leave.

But a year later, she announced her return to the soap.
