Bobby Brazier has love for his soap rivals, with the EastEnders actor leaving a very complimentary message underneath Emmerdale 's Lewis Cope's latest social media snap. Lewis, who has been playing Nicky Milligan in the ITV soap since 2022, has left fans hot under the collar thanks to his new Instagram post - with EastEnders' star Bobby one of many to react in the comment section. Initially introduced to Emmerdale viewers as the new Home Farm nanny, it was later revealed that Lewis' character Nicky is actually the son of Caleb Milligan (William Ash).
Caleb, Frank Tate's son, arrived in the village with a mission to exact revenge on Kim Tate (Claire King) and seize Home Farm from her. He coerced Nicky into starting a faux relationship with Gabby Thomas ( Rosie Bentham ) to have an inside man. However, Kim foiled Caleb's scheme.
Since then, while Caleb continues his mischief, Nicky has disanced himself from his father's criminal activities. He has begun dating Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana), and the pair are planning to leave the village for a fresh start. In last night's instalment of Emmerdale [3rd July], Nicky and Suni discussed their travel plans.
When Jai (Chris Bisson) showed up at Holdgate's front door, Nicky, fresh from the shower and clad only in a towel and slippers, answered. Nicky eventually ended up standing outside his house with no clothes on. After these scenes were broadcasted on ITV, Lewis took to Instagram to share a snap of himself in character standi.
