Nikki Sanderson misses 'Coronation Street'.

The actress, who played hairdresser Candice Stowe in the hit soap, had a great time starring in the series but is doubtful she would ever return to Weatherfield.

Nikki - who joined the cast in 1999 when she was just 15 - told Britain's New! magazine: "I miss some aspects of it. It was a brilliant job and I didn't leave because I didn't like it anymore, I loved every bit, but after six years I felt it was the right time to move on. I was getting itchy feet to try new parts. I'll never forget Corrie though and Candice will always be a huge part of my life because she gave me all the opportunities I've got and I will always be grateful.?

Nikki has also revealed she has no intention of taking time out from her career to settle down with her boyfriend and former 'Coronation Street' co-star Danny Young.

The stunning 22-year-old actress - who currently plays barmaid Dawn Bellamy in 'Heartbeat' - said: "Things are going great. It's been about three-and-a-half years now. When we first got together everyone said it would last about six weeks, and now it's three and a half years! We're still together, it's going well and we're really happy.

"In the future I would like to be a parent, but not at the moment I'm quite happy working. I'm not ruling it out for the future but I'm dedicating my life to being a successful, credible actress at the moment and putting all my energy into that.?
