She wrote: ‘Same spot, different bikini’.

Nikki revealed in March that she had quit Hollyoaks after starring as Maxine Minniver for 13 years.

Prior to shooting her last scenes in April, the actress shared with The Mirror that leaving the project was a very challenging decision for her.

In her conversation with the publication, she expressed that choosing to depart was an extremely challenging decision due to Maxine’s significant role in her life, which she cherishes deeply.

It took me quite some time to come to the realization that I was ready, and this wasn’t a sudden or impulsive decision. Instead, it was a struggle within myself that lasted for a while. Fortunately, I was able to seek advice from those around me and gather various perspectives on the matter.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I find myself deeply appreciative of the long-standing stability I’ve experienced thus far. However, I am eagerly anticipating the thrilling uncertainty that comes with not knowing what lays ahead. It’s an exciting journey into the unknown!

She’s made it clear that she hasn’t left the soap opera industry yet, and if the opportunity arises, she would be happy to return to “Coronation Street,” a role she had previously portrayed as Candice Stowe.

Nikki joined the cast of Hollyoaks in 2012 and has become a huge fan favourite over the years. 

Throughout her career, she has been featured in intense plotlines such as experiencing domestic abuse with the character Patrick Blake, being a victim of sexual assault following a social event, and subsequently, her on-screen persona being diagnosed with Munchausen’s Syndrome.

However, she’s chosen to relinquish her character Maxine temporarily and pursue other ventures, leaving her last scenes on screen still upcoming.

According to a source, they shared with The Sun that she had a meeting with superiors where she disclosed her intention to depart. Having recently turned 40, she felt it was the opportune moment to bid farewell to Maxine.

‘She’s keen to explore other opportunities and is excited to get back out there.

For several months, supervisors have been devising an engaging departure narrative for the character Maxine. They assure us that this goodbye will be a suitable farewell, and viewers should prepare for plenty of emotional turmoil as the story unfolds leading up to her departure.

Hollyoaks isn’t the only TV show that Nikki has appeared on.

Between 1999 and 2005, the star took on the role of Candice Stowe in ITV’s Coronation Street.

In 2006, she appeared in Holby City as Monica Southworth.

From 2008 to 2009, Nikki portrayed Dawn Bellamy in Heartbeat, while she was cast as Amy Harris in Casualty in 2012 as well.

Throughout her career, she’s received numerous nominations for TV awards. In 2014, she took home the Best Actress award at the Inside Soap Awards.

The actress has received nominations for Best Actress at the British Soap Awards, Best Actress in a Soap Opera at the TV Choice Awards, and Outstanding Performance in a Serial Drama at the National Television Awards.

This version maintains the original meaning while making it more natural and easy to read by using “received nominations” instead of “has been nominated,” and replacing “Soap Actress” with “Actress in a Soap Opera.” Additionally, “Serial Drama Performance” was paraphrased as “Outstanding Performance in a Serial Drama” to make it sound more descriptive and clear.
