Schoolgirl Amber is open and honest and always speaks her mind - even if it's uncomfortable hearing! She loves to gossip and is able to indulge her passion with equally nosy shopkeeper Norris.
2005 Mum Ravinder reveals her boss Dev is Amber's dad and the teenager determines to get to know him, much to his irritation.
2006 Wins round Dev and moves in permanently when Ravinder relocates abroad.
Nikki was born in 1990 and brought up in Bradford. Her father, Ash, runs a local shop, just like her character's dad Dev in the soap. Coronation Street is Nikki's first professional appearance, but she also took several months off in 2006 to appear in BBC school drama Waterloo Road as geeky student Shazir.
