Inbetween working as an actress on Corrie and taking part in reality TV shows like Celebs Go Dating, Kimberley, 35, has a lucrative side hustle.

She sells sportswear that has been redesigned and has boxes of stock throughout her pad.

She has even reflected her love of Adidas in her home by splashing its famous three stripes across key pieces of furniture like her blue and white coffee table.

She's also upcycled trainers and turned them into plant pots, and has draped her sofas and chairs in blankets emblazoned with 'Adidas'.

Not stopping there, Kimberley's splashed out on custom-made Adidas cushions and a large acrylic statuette of the Adidas three leaf logo.

Kimberley has opened up about her work outside acting, saying she also volunteers in charity shops when she's not filming for Coronation Street.

The star has taken up a volunteering position at the British Heart Foundation - and it's for a very personal reason.

Actress Kimberly, who plays Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap, said: "A few years ago [my sister] Emma became poorly and after going back and forth to the doctors for a long time she was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy.

"The condition has been life-altering for her - she has a lot of different symptoms and has good and bad days but can’t predict when they will be, it can be frustrating when she feels fine one day but can’t do anything the next.

"Because of Emma’s experience, it has pushed me to use my platform soeverybody knows about the charity and it’s a definite driver for me tocarry on shopping there."

Kimberly - set to return to Corrie in spring - added that she mostly keeps herself hidden away in the stockroom while working at the store.

She told the Mirror: "I often tend to stick downstairs in the stockroomwhere I can rummage through the donations and steam them to prep them for sale, but I have worked on the shop floor as well and it’s lovelychatting to customers coming in. You meet the best people."

Kimberly added: "The charity have done a big volunteering drive as the numbers of shop volunteers they had fell after lockdown, so I’ve been doing it around my schedule and it’s become a home from home to me."

The Sun exclusively revealed Kimberly would be reprising her role of sex worker Nicky, after she left the show and went on to appear on E4's Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion.

Nicky’s return to the cobbles will cause chaos for ex love Daniel Osbourne and his relationship with barmaid Daisy Midgeley.
