EMMERDALE Icon Nicola Wheeler Leaves Fans Howling After Dropping F-Bomb At The Most Chaotic Moment
Emmerdale star Nicola Wheeler has left fans howling after dropping an f-bomb at what may have been the worst — or perhaps best — possible moment.
The actress, best known for playing Nicola King on the ITV soap, found herself at the centre of a hilarious real-life TV moment after an awards night celebration took a very unexpected turn.
Nicola has always been loved by fans for her sharp humour, quick wit and chaotic energy on screen. Her character Nicola King is never far from a cutting remark, a dramatic reaction or a moment of pure village attitude. But this time, it was the actress herself who stole the spotlight.
