Fans have speculated Nikki could reprise her Coronation Street role as Candice Stowe. She portrayed Sarah Platt's best friend in 400 episodes from 1999 to 2005. But whatever the future does hold, Nikki says she grateful to have the support of boyfriend, fellow Hollyoaks alum, Anthony Quinlan, 40, who played Gilly Roach on the show from 2005 to 2011. Nikki remains coy when it comes to discussing partner of three-and-a-half years, but she does admit she's never been happier - and won't rule out marriage and children with him. She says: 'I don't like to talk too much about my personal life, but I will say I'm the happiest I've ever been, Anthony is incredible. 'I'm in a wonderful, happy relationship, so let's see what the future holds! Anthony really is my rock, he's been incredibly supportive of me in my tough decision to leave Hollyoaks.' 6 Nikki played Candice in Coronation Street for six years Credit: Rex Features 6 She joined Hollyoaks in 2012 as Maxine Minniver Credit: Lime Pictures 6 She quit the soap after 12 years Credit: Getty
