Biography

In 2011, while watching an episode of Coronation Street (1960), Anna Bianconi-Moore, a nurse within the dermatology department at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, spotted a mole on Nicholls' shoulder and immediately contacted the show via e-mail to express her concerns. Nicholls was seen by the show's medical team, before being referred to a skin cancer specialist, where she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. After the mole was successfully removed, ITV, the show's production company, contacted Bianconi-Moore to update her on the situation, and she was invited to the Coronation Street set, where she met Nicholls.

Is just a little over 7 years older than Helen Worth, who plays her daughter on Coronation Street (1960).

In 1968, she released a record called "Where Will you Be?", which peaked at number 17 on the UK singles chart. It remained in the top 75 for eight weeks.

She met her husband, actor Mark Eden, at a party in 1983, and they married ten years later. He went on to star alongside her in Coronation Street (1960) as villain, Alan Bradley.

Her father, Sir Harmar Harmar-Nicholls (1912-2000), was made a Baron in 1975. She then automatically became "The Honourable Miss Harmar-Nicholls".
