didn't see any of it myself, a shame as it was filmed in Folkestone, I'm led to believe all the tantrums are just put on for the camera. Today's Sunday Mirror is far less pleasant, and they say:

Mixing with seamen on a Folkestone trawler, the little fraud pretended to puke at the sight of the writhing catch of the day.

Later she showcased her all-round uselessness working in a fish and chip shop.

Hey Nikki, why don't you stick to something you're good at - [deleted, just in case]!

This show is an insult. Make it stop.
