catsuits X MARKS DOWNFALL FOR KYLIE

THERE’S one thing former Corrie beauty Nikki Sanderson doesn’t miss about Weatherfield – her character’s duff clothes.
 The pretty actress, who played the Street’s hairdresser Candice Stowe, is first to admit her soap wardrobe was "interesting" at best.
 From school uniform to lycra zentai leather catsuits , Candice never failed to stand out.
&nbsp,catsuits;So it’s not surprising that when Nikki left the ITV1 soap last September, she didn’t smuggle any of the outfits out with her.
 In real life though, it was 21-year-old Nikki’s spot-on style which landed her the job of host for last week’s More Fashion Awards.
 It’s just the latest in a string of big jobs to land in her lap. She has recently made an appearance in hit BBC series Holby City and is soon to be heard in a BBC radio play. After that she is in telly drama New Street Law.
 KATE JACKSON caught up with the star to talk style, Corrie and that catsuit.
 ON COSTUMES:
 "Candice was a real character. Some of the things she wore I would never wear for real.
 Like the bright green leather catsuit!
 It was brilliant wearing it because it was so different. I’m not a diva and I would never have said I wouldn’t wear something.
 Dressing up in those sort of clothes was fun because you wouldn’t normally be seen dead in those outfits.
 I wore a school uniform until I was 20. When I left I got all the other cast members to sign it, like you do when you leave school.
 I think I might auction off the lycra spandex costume spiderman for charity. It might only make a pound but it’s better than hanging in my wardrobe.
 ON FASHION:
 "My style is very much High Street. I’m a real copycat when it comes to fashion. I’ll recreate what Kate Moss or Sienna Miller wear but buy it in Topshop.
 You can go and spend hundreds on something designer or wait a month and it’ll be almost the same thing in the High Street but a lot cheaper.
 ON STYLE ICONS:
 "Kate Moss and Sienna Miller are beautiful.
 Cat Deeley always looks gorgeous. So does Victoria Beckham but she wears designer.
 ON THIS SEASON’S LOOKS:
 "I like the dresses and skinny jeans. I’m quite into leggings and long tops at the moment. The most important item in my wardrobe is a plain vest top. You can wear them under dresses or dress them up with beads or brooches.
 ON RED CARPET GLAMOUR:
 "I’ve regretted loads of my red carpet outfits! When I was growing up I did make a few mistakes. I look back and think, ‘Why didn’t someone stop me?’
 It’s all right now that I’m older, I’m a bit more independent.
 ON HER CAREER:
 "I’ve done an episode of Holby and I’ve filmed a drama called New Street Law which will go out in April or May. I’ve also done a radio play.
 Otherwise it’s all about going for auditions and getting back into the acting game. I’d love to do something really gritty, a character that’s totally unlike me. That’s when I think people see your true potential.
 ON CRACKING HOLLYWOOD:
 &quot,Spiderman Costumes;I’m not going to hold my breath. It’s a hard nut to crack and I need to break Britain first.
 Yes, I’ve done Coronation Street but I’d like to build up a steady career here.
 ON REALITY TV:
 "I love reality TV – I really enjoyed Celebrity Big Brother this year. I don’t think it would be the right time in my career to go on a reality TV show. I want to be seen as a credible actor and I don’t think reality TV would be the way to do that.
 ON KEEPING IN SHAPE:
 "I try! I’m quite lucky because I’m a size eight to 10 and tend to stay that way. I don’t worry that much about what I eat.
 Every girl’s got something about their body which they wish was different.
 My legs could do with being a little longer but I’m generally happy.
