‘But through the haze, I distinctly remember Nicola coming up to me and started speaking with me, I had no idea what was going on, is this happening? Is she really chatting me up? I couldn’t believe it, I was so lucky to be in that situation.’ 

‘Despite how drunk I was after drinking half of my gin and tonic, I will never forget those piercing blue eyes looking at me and from that moment I already knew I’d started falling for you or falling on you, I can’t remember.’

Nicola rose to fame on E4’s Made in Chelsea in 2015, which she joined the cast as ex Alex’s then-girlfriend.

She left the show in 2016, after the relationship broke down after alleged acts of infidelity from Alex, who ended the romance via text.
