Nikki Ann Sanderson (born 28 March 1984
in Blackpool, Lancashire) 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
and television presenter on programmes such as, CD:UK,
Junior Eurovision and Ministry of Mayhem.
Career: Sanderson joined Coronation Street in
1999 and left in Autumn 2005. Prior to this, she had
appeared in children's drama Children's Ward and in
2004, the hit fitness DVD Coronation Street - Funk fit.
Since leaving Coronation Street, Sanderson has appeared
in episodes of the BBC television series' Holby City and
New Street Law alongside fellow 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. In
2006, Sanderson appeared in a touring production of The
Vagina Monologues with Jerry Hall amongst others and an
episode of Kay Mellor's 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 Madonna Mania,
Discomania, Abba Mania 2 and 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. Sanderson has
appeared on the cover of Loaded magazine and in August
2005, the cover of Maxim magazine and in June 2006 the
cover of FHM as the headlining feature of the issue,
combining a photo shoot and exclusive interview with one
of the magazine's journalists.
For 2006 and 2007, Sanderson has been signed up by hip
sports fashion footwear brand KangaROOS to head up their
high-profile new print advertising campaign. She will
shortly be seen in the new independent film Clubbed and
in episodes of Cold Blood for ITV1 and The Afternoon
play for BBC1.
In June 2007, it was reported that Sanderson would make
a brief return to Coronation Street in Autumn 2007, when
her character, Candice Stowe, turns up during the build
up to another characters wedding. However these reports
were later dismissed by Sanderson during an appearance
on ITV1's Loose Women due to "scheduling
problems".
She will appear in the "Tuareg Productions"
play Living under one roof at the Theatre Royal,
Nottingham from 26 - 30 June 2007.
World Vision: In 2007, Sanderson was chosen as
the annual 24 hour Famine Celebrity Ambassador, for
World Vision UK, a Christian relief and development
organization. As part of her role she visited the
Keembie community in Zambia who will benefit from the
fund raising effort.
Personal life: She has dated her Coronation
Street co-star Danny Young, although their current
relationship status is unknown. |
