Coronation Street’s Kimberly Hart-Simpson sent fans swooning when she returned to the set of the ITV cobbles.
Kimberly shared a stunning snap from her dressing room as she prepared to reprise her famous role as Nicky Wheatley on the hit soap.
The 35-year-old actress looked sensational as she struck a pose in the famous ITV red coat.
Taking to Instagram, Kimberly caught up with her 133k followers – giving them a sneak peek into set just before her epic comeback.
Kimberly recently revealed that her iconic Corrie character, Nicky Wheatley, was returning to Weatherfield.
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.

Kimberly arrived as Nicky 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 announced her return in December with photos from her stint as Nicky.
Last January, she also starred in the Channel 4 dating series Celebs Go Dating.
Announcing her Corrie return, Kimberly wrote: “She’s back! @coronationstreet 2022!!!”.
“Return of the side eye.”
