Candice Stowe is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Nikki Sanderson.

When people at their school start to tease Sarah about her weight gain, Candice tries to help by telling that them that she is pregnant, which leads to everyone finding out about it.

Sarah's grandmother, Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls), soon took pity on Candice and she moved into the salon flat.

Candice dated Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley), but he broke up with her after discovering that she had slept with Jason (Ryan Thomas), his older half brother.

When promising footballer Warren Baldwin (Danny Young) arrived in Weatherfield she dreamed of fame and soon got together with him.

Candice also dated Darren Michaels (Nicholas Zabel) and Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), but later dumped him via a letter as she left the street when Status Quo offered her a job as a stylist.

"[1] Coronation Street producer Tony Wood said: "Candice is a character with a great deal of ambition and we felt it was not believable that she would stay in Weatherfield forever.

"[2] Following her departure, The People claimed that Sanderson quit her role after becoming tired of being sidelined by the show's producers.

She apparently felt that the soap's scriptwriters favoured her fellow cast-members Tina O'Brien (Sarah Platt) and Samia Ghadie (Maria Sutherland).

"The whole thing about Nikki leaving Corrie for love and a singing career is really only half the truth and bit of a smoke screen," Meakin revealed.
