Lewis has been a familiar face on our screens since 2022, when he made his debut on Emmerdale as Nicky Miligan. From the moment he arrived in the eponymous village, he captured the attention of fans with his intriguing character and captivating storyline.
Nicky's interest in Gabby Thomas and his involvement in the Tate family drama made for some intense and dramatic moments. But the biggest shock came when it was revealed that Nicky was actually the son of Caleb Miligan, Kim Tate's ex-husband. The two joined forces to take down the notorious Kim, but it was soon revealed that Caleb had his own hidden agenda and had roped his son into his scheming ways in order to gain control of Home Farm.
Just when we thought we had Nicky all figured out, another twist was thrown into the mix. Nicky couldn't go through with his plans to marry Gabby, and instead, he came clean with her about his true identity - he was gay and in a secret relationship. This revelation only added to the complexity of his character and made him even more relatable to viewers.
But Nicky's troubles didn't end there. He and his new boyfriend, Suni Sharma, were caught up in a horrific homophobic attack outside a nightclub. This traumatic event will resurface this week as Suni reaches out to Nicky for help once again. Rushing to his rescue, Nicky and his friend Ethan Anderson find themselves involved in a catastrophic car accident. The events surrounding Nicky's character have left fans curious about the actor who portrays him - Lewis Cope. So, let's take a closer look at Lewis and get to know the man behind the character.
Lewis Cope is a 29-year-old English actor from Hartlepool. He has been playing Nicky Milligan on Emmerdale since December 2022. Before landing this role, Lewis appeared on BBC's daytime soap, Doctors, and the ITV drama, Vera, which is filmed in his home region of the North East. However, Lewis first started his acting career on the stage. He began dancing at a young age and even landed a leading role in Billy Elliot: The Musical on the West End when he was just 11 years old.
Fans may also recognize Lewis from his appearance in the advert for David Beckham's fragrance, Bold Instinct. The soccer superstar was impressed by Lewis' story and decided to feature him in the ad. But Lewis' on-screen character isn't the only one with a complicated family life. In an interview on ITV's Lorraine, Lewis opened up about his own family, revealing that he has 14 siblings. He also has a girlfriend - fellow actor and fitness instructor, Rachel Lopez. The couple often shares pictures of their adventures together on Instagram, including trips to the Greek islands and Dublin, where Rachel is from.
As the drama continues to unfold on Emmerdale, fans are left wondering if Nicky will survive the car accident. With his life hanging in the balance, the suspense and anticipation are high. In an interview with Lorraine Kelly, Lewis hinted at the possibility of his character's death, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. But one thing is for sure, Lewis has made a lasting impression on fans with his portrayal of Nicky, and we can't wait to see what's in store for this talented actor in the future.
