Nicola Thorp is a broadcaster, actress, podcaster and equality campaigner from Blackpool.

A passionate broadcaster, Nicola has co-hosted Talk TV’s breakfast show ‘Talk Today’ and is a regular on Lorraine. Nicola has also made regular appearances on This Morning and Good Morning Britain.

Nicola has spent the last three years investigating the shocking disappearance of 14-year-old Charlene Downes from her hometown, Blackpool. Nicola was the same age as Charlene when she went missing, but the truth about what happened to her has never come to light. Her podcast series ‘Charlene: Somebody Knows Something’ will be released this month on The Crime Desk where you can join Nicola as she returns to her childhood town 22 years later to uncover the truth, and the lies, about what really happened to Charlene.

Nicola gained national attention for her campaign to end sexist workplace dress codes which led to a parliamentary inquiry and lasting policy change, and her successful campaign to give stalking victims the right to know the identity of their stalker, dubbed ‘Nicola’s Law’.

Nicola also had a weekly column in the Metro, covering topics such as mental illness, women’s rights and social justice. Having initially trained as an actress, Nicola is also known for having had a regular role in Coronation Street as Nicola Rubinstein, and appearances in Doctor Who, The Guilty and Father Brown.
