Former Coronation Street star Nicola Thorp has tied the knot with actor husband Nikesh Patel months after welcoming their first child together.
The 35-year-old, who played Nicola Rubinstein in Corrie, shared a video from their beautiful wedding day after confirming her engagement to the actor, 38, last January.
‘This weekend, we got married in the same place that race riots broke out three weeks ago,’ she captioned the joyous Instagram reel.
Two hearts, two families, two cultures: united, celebrated and loved.
‘Love wins. Thank you to all our friends and family for making it so magical.’
Of course Coronation Street co-stars were among the guests for their magical day including Victoria Ekanoye (Angie Appleton) who commented: ‘Cried my tatas off when I saw the way Nikesh reacted to you and Naya walking in. Love you all so much.’
Sair Khan, who played Alya Nazir, added: ‘WE HAD THE BEST TIME! Love you both so much.’
Earlier this year, Nicola took to social media to confirm she has welcomed her first child with Nikesh.
‘We are delighted to say that we recently welcomed our beautiful baby daughter into the world,’ she began on social media.
‘Everything they say about birth being a rollercoaster of emotions is true. We’re shattered and smitten and everything in between.
Nicola,who was in Corrie in 2018 and again briefly in 2019, announced her engagement to Nikesh, 38, in January.
Nikesh has starred in projects including Indian Summers, Starstruck and the mini-series Four Weddings and a Funeral.
He and Nicola have been dating since 2021, and they appeared together in the fifth series of Channel 4 reality show Celebrity Hunted last year.
Nicola Rubinstein was the daughter of Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre), and Seb Franklin’s (Harry Visinoni) caseworker.
She left Weatherfield in 2018 after surviving being shot by her father and heading off for a new life in Bristol.
On leaving Corrie, Nicola said: ‘I’ve got wonderful friends, a family that I’ve made here, and I’ll be really, really sad to say goodbye for now.’
Nikesh, meanwhile, has appeared in various TV shows including Indian Summers, Starstruck and the mini-series Four Weddings and a Funeral.
