She had been asked: “Why you leaving Corrie.” and explained: “Okkkk let’s get this answered because it’s heavy in the inbox.
“So it’s not a case of leaving Corrie. It’s more that I came back for a storyline which for now has been completed.
“If you watched Friday’s eps you will see there was no big leaving scene so you never know for the future but what I do know is this…

“I owe so much to Corrie and I absolutely love it there – the people – the vibe – the street.
“Life happens in chapters – and I am looking forward to the next part.”
Kimberly first came on to our screens in 2020 when Nicky met Daniel Osbourne, who was still struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife Sinead.
The pair got close despite a bad start when Daniel realised Nicky was a sex worker.

Her first stint ended when she left Daniel in September of 2020 with enough money to look after his son Bertie, but Nicky wasn’t quite finished on the street yet.
She returned in March of this year looking for Daniel, only to be thrown off the scent by his then-partner Daisy.
That ran all the way to last Friday (July 1) where Nicky ended up in the police station, being discovered by Peter Barlow.
It seems that Kimberly is done for now, but never say never with Nicky.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 8pm
