Jimmy King’s first wedding to in Emmerdale in June 2010 came dangerously close to being cancelled after Nicola bit a child! So as they plan to renew their vows, will take two be any different? Not likely!
It was a chaotic, bizarre and surprisingly funny day for the pair. And with Nicola reminiscing tonight (Thursday August 20) about what a disaster their wedding was, we’ve taken a trip back to remember exactly what happened.
Here’s everything you need to know.

A rocky romance
Nicola began dating Jimmy King, the eldest of the three King sons, in 2009. They initially slept together in the back of a haulage truck after drowning their sorrows in the pub. But Nicola was embarrassed by what had happened and rejected his attempts to start a relationship.
They ended up in bed together again, and when Rodney mentioned that Jimmy might have money hidden away in a Swiss bank account, Nicola decided she wanted to pursue him after all. Jimmy soon realised she was only interested in his money and humiliated her.
But despite all the drama, they couldn’t stay away from each other. Nicola soon discovered she was pregnant with Jimmy’s child. The pair weren’t together at the time, and Nicola considered both abortion and adoption.
Laurel eventually talked her out of those plans, and Nicola reunited with Jimmy. They moved into Mill Cottage and prepared for the arrival of their baby.
Then tragedy struck. Nicola had a row with Lexi King and fell down the stairs. She and the baby were thankfully okay, but Nicola went into premature labour a few days later and gave birth to daughter Angelica.
