Nikki Sanderson could be about to make a red-hot return to
soapland.
Gorgeous Nikki is in secret talks with Corrie chiefs to come back as curvy crimper Candice Stowe.
A return is on the cards for sexy Nikki, with bosses hoping the 22-year-old could be back in The Street by the spring.
Viewers will see her best pal Sarah Platt get a phone call from Candice telling her she is about to marry into a wealthy family.
She reveals she is going to wed in Greece and offers to pay for Sarah – Tina O’Brien, 23 – to fly out to be her bridesmaid. A senior source revealed Nikki’s return would put a much-needed sex factor back into the show.
“There have been concerns about the pin-up element and nobody was a more popular ambassador for us in that area than Nikki,” he said.
“We decided the phone call from Candice was a subtle and plausible way of edging her back towards the cobbles.
“Nikki is certainly aware of our interest.”
Candice came to Weatherfield in 1999 to work as a trainee hairdresser for Audrey Roberts. She left six years later by running off with rockers Status Quo to be their tour stylist after meeting the band at the Battersby wedding.
It was rumoured at the time that Nikki quit the show in protest at the sacking of boyfriend Danny Young, 20, who played her on-screen love Warren Baldwin.
She has always denied this and in a recent interview she said she left Corrie to ditch her image, adding: “For that reason I can’t go back.”
But it now seems she could be ready to change her mind.
