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 has been a regular fixture, seen debating current affairs on Lorainne, This Morning’s ‘Morning View’, BBC News and Good Morning Britain.

Born and bred in Blackpool, Nicola has spent the last three years investigating the shocking disappearance of a 14-year-old girl in her hometown, Charlene Downes. Nicola was 14 when she disappeared and lived less than a mile from her house but the truth about what happened to her has never come to light. The ‘Charlene’ podcast series is coming out later this year on The Crime Desk where you can join Nicola as she returns to her childhood town 22 years later and seeks to uncover the truth, and the lies, about what really happened to Charlene.

Nicola also had a weekly column in the Metro, covering topics such as mental illness, women’s rights, social justice and her hometown of Blackpool where she is an ambassador for two local charities, JFH and Streetlife, which focus on rehabilitation after addiction and youth homelessness in Blackpool. Having initially trained as an actress, Nicola is also known for her role as Nicola Rubinstein in Coronation Street, and appearances in Doctor Who, The Guilty and Father Brown.
