“Nicky’s a great character,” Lewis said before adding: “He’s very relatable, likeable, and I’m just having fun with him.”
When asked if Nicky has a dark past, the soap star teased: “At the moment he’s a lovely person, and there’s nothing to say [otherwise]…he kind of fits the bill.
“He is almost too good to be true, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
It is unclear whether Nicky has any previous connections to the village, but if he does, it’s only a matter of time before he is exposed.
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
