ITV Corrie's Nicky star reveals why people slide into her DMs with their bargains and how a sowing machine saved her mental health

Fans now best recognise her for playing Nicky Wheatley in Coronation Street but there’s a lot more to Kimberly Hart-Simpson than being an actress. Away from the ITV soap, the 35-year-old is a businesswoman having set up a sustainable rework brand, Hart-Work, in 2018 and all the items for sale are handmade by the soap star herself.
But it may not come as a surprise to her Instagram followers as she regularly wows them with her latest handy work, regularly picking up items from the charity shop and bringing them back to life as brand new pieces. Back in February Kimberly, who made her Weatherfield debut in 2020 before returning earlier this year, struck a pose in an eye-catching leather look cropped top with distressed jeans in a snap shared on her Instagram.
And fans were even more impressed when she revealed that she had snapped up the bronze lace-up top for just £2. Then last month Kimberly looked a far cry from all the drama on the cobbles as she sparkled in sun-soaked photos while donning a dazzling multi-coloured mini dress. And she revealed that the designer dress was a bargain charity shop purchase hat she had snapped up for £18 from the British Heart Foundation.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News and other press, Kimberly said it was buying the cheapest sowing machine she could find, which she ‘put on an Argos card because I couldn’t afford it outright' that she credits to saving her mental health.
"I’m from a working-class family that went to charity shops so it’s in my bones. I’ve not changed, I’m not going to change despite whether I’m on a high wage or a low wage. It doesn’t matter. A bargain
