Where have you seen Nicola Rubenstein before?

Seb's case worker Nicola Rubenstein rocked up in Coronation Street tonight.  She's the lady who will turn out to be the daughter of Pat Phelan, bringing light into his life, says Corrie producer Kate Oates. You can read more on that here.

And if you think that Nicola Rubenstein has a familiar face, you may well have seen her on the news before.

She's played by Nicola Thorp and if the name may not be familiar to you, she's an incredible woman known for a lot more than her acting skills

Nicola is the woman who was sent home from a London accountancy firm for not wearing high heels. She began a petition last year in an effort to change dress code laws after she was fired from her temping job as a receptionist for declining to change out of flat shoes.

She's also starred in TV in Doctor Who, Doctors, The Guilty and Father Brown. She's worked on stage in everything from Cinderella to Macbeth and has starred in two films - Alice and The Last Superheroes.
