Nicola Thorp, who plays Nicola Rubinstein in Coronation Street, is to spend a night on the cobbles, not in Wetherfield but in Blackpool, to support  a homeless charity. 

Nicola will be joining Streetlife’s Big Sleepout fund-raiser on March 23. The Buchanan Street charity’s chief executive Jane Hugo said they were delighted to get the support from Nicola, along with 200 others who will be taking part on the night. 

She said:  “Nicola told us she wanted to help raise awareness of the homelessness crisis in the country and support her home town charity.”
