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.
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. |
