Coronation Street theory: Nicky Wheatley seeks revenge on Max Turner in blackmail twist

Former sex worker Nicky (played by Kimberly Hart-Simpson) was left humiliated and unemployed after troubled teenager Max (Paddy Bever) shared inappropriate photographs of her around the school. The Coronation Street mum-of-one has been struggling to find work since being fired as a teaching assistant and might be about to give Max a taste of his own bitter medicine. 

As Max prepares for a date with soap newcomer Sonya (Isabelle Smith) in upcoming scenes, she sends him a text asking him to send her a picture of the whole package so she can see what to expect. 

Max, who is taken aback by the flirty message, returns home unbuttoning his shirt as he prepares to take some snaps of himself.

Later on, a confused Sonya reveals she has never received any pictures from him nor sent any back.

Official ITV soap spoilers have revealed Max and Sonya are left mortified when they realise they have been set up.

Her life “was in a bit of a mess” and she moved in with teacher Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) while she searched for another job. 

However, Nicky was dealt a crushing blow in recent weeks when she discovered Daniel was still in love with his ex-girlfriend Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Brown) who despises her. 

When asked if Nicky would make Max pay for his actions, Kimberly said: “She wouldn’t seek revenge [on Max]. 

“I think she realise he is just a kid and did it for his mates and did not realise the ramifications.
