"Babies are definitely in my future. I'm maternal and everybody who knows me know just how much I love children."

And it seems Nikki is getting some parenting practice in with her partner's family.

"Right now I'm really busy with Hollyoaks, but Greg had a new nephew the other day and we've got a couple of other nieces and nephews. They're all amazing," the actress told Sunday People.

"I'm also very close to Eva, who plays my two-year-old daughter on Hollyoaks – I absolutely idolise her," Nikki added.
