Biography |
Nikki Ann Sanderson (born 28 March 1984) is an English
actress who is best known for playing Candice Stowe in the
television soap opera Coronation Street. During her time at
Coronation Street and since, she has also forged a career as
a glamour model.
Sanderson joined Coronation Street in 1999 and left in
Autumn 2005. Prior to this, she had appeared in children's
drama Children's Ward. In 2006, she appeared in a guest role
in the BBC television series New Street Law alongside other
notable Coronation Street alumni Chris Gascoyne and Chris
Bisson. British newspaper The Daily Express stated that she
was in the running to replace Billie Piper as the Doctor's
companion in Doctor Who, however Freema Agyeman was chosen
for the role. Sanderson appeared in a production of The
Vagina Monologues in Blackpool in 2006. She will next appear
in the ITV series Strictly Confidential.
A naturally gifted vocalist, Sanderson loves to show this
side of herself off; jumping up to sing at every
opportunity, she is a self-confessed karaoke enthusiast.
Recently she has made several television appearances
singing, most notably on ITV's Celebrity Stars in Their
Eyes, where her impression of LeAnn Rimes, singing the smash
hit theme from the film Coyote Ugly, 'Can't Fight The
Moonlight' earned her the winner's spot. She recently
appeared on The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars in the solo
16-24 category, mentored by Sharon Osbourne where she was
eliminated 5th. (It must be said, however, that Sanderson
was suffering from tonsillitis at the time and was straining
her voice to sing.) Despite the exit from the show, she
hopes to perhaps one day pursue a music career.
She has appeared in several British men's magazines in
lingerie and other provocative outfits. In June 2006,
Sanderson made the cover of British men's magazine FHM and
was the headlining feature of the issue, combining a photo
shoot and exclusive interview with one of the magazine's
journalists.
In May 2006 Sanderson played for the England women's team in
the Celebrity World Cup Soccer Six tournament. Her stout
performance helped her team to the final, although they
eventually lost.
She has worked as a television presenter on CD:UK.
For 2006 and 2007 Nikki has been signed up by hip sports
fashion footwear brand KangaROOS to head up their
advertising campaign which run outdoors and in magazines.
Sanderson has dated her Coronation Street co-star Danny
Young, although their current relationship status is
unknown. |
