Biography

In 2011, while watching an episode of Coronation Street (1960), Anna Bianconi-Moore, a nurse within the dermatology department at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, spotted a mole on Nicholls' shoulder and immediately contacted the show via e-mail to express her concerns. Nicholls was seen by the show's medical team, before being referred to a skin cancer specialist, where she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. After the mole was successfully removed, ITV, the show's production company, contacted Bianconi-Moore to update her on the situation, and she was invited to the Coronation Street set, where she met Nicholls.

She met her husband, actor Mark Eden, at a party in 1983, and they married ten years later. He went on to star alongside her in Coronation Street (1960) as villain, Alan Bradley.

In 1968, she released a record called "Where Will you Be?", which peaked at number 17 on the UK singles chart. It remained in the top 75 for eight weeks.

Her father, Sir Harmar Harmar-Nicholls (1912-2000), was made a Baron in 1975. She then automatically became "The Honourable Miss Harmar-Nicholls".
