Nikki has enjoyed her day off, I saw her yesterday and she was happy and cheery although her car was frozen and covered in snow lol, she was able to start it. She told me she will be happy when the panto is over, only 10 more performances. I told her that when its all over she will be very happy she has done it and it will look good on her resume. Nikki is getting the train back to Kettering today, she didn't want her mum driving her back as the roads are still not that safe.

For me I am flying back tonight and my flight is operating, its been a great holiday.

I have been walking around the nearby Ruislip Woods here and its like a winter wonderland, ducks and swans swimming in a small section of a frozen lake, never seen anything like it.

Thanks everyone, for all the updates.
Glad you had a nice holiday, Bluegroper. Hope you have a safe journey home, with no delays. The panto, although a lot of hard work. should do Nikki a lot of good.

Glad you had a great holiday, with lots of good memories - but you'll be glad to be back in the warm i bet lol !

She has done well considering its her first Panto, it will certainly look good on her resume and will stand her in her good stead for the future - she might want to do another and will know what to expect next time!

Nice pic of Nikki, Sue and David at the OK! party at Embassy in the mag this week

thanks for the pic barra, flight delayed but have internet access, nice pic.

Home sweet home, had a great holiday and hope everyone has a good christmas and hope the weather doesn't get too bad for you all

David Van Day tweeted that the afternoon show on tuesday, (his last tweet before I left) was a full house. Nikki is finding the going hard living away from home, travelling back and forth to Kettering on her days off. She should be proud of her performance in the Panto she did great. Her mum Sue, Natalie and little Sunny will be in the audience on christmas eve and bring her home for christmas, she will be over the moon!

Glad you got back ok and in time for christmas, many are still stuck

I am sure they will have a lot of full houses now coming towards the end, She will have a great Christmas and will enjoy having her family there to see her tomorrow and bring her home!

and then there will just be the final two shows on boxing day and it will all be over - she has done well as i have said before its her first ever panto, she can be proud of herself and heres to many more !

Happy Christmas Des and everyone on the NTA and though i have this year exchanged Christmas Greetings in person with Nikki, i can still wish her Happy Christmas on here cant i

Re DVD Tweets, he said that Faryl Smith was in the audience last night

Just popping in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Thanks everyone for all the news and updates over the year.


Glad Des enjoyed his time over here..and that Nikki has withstood the panto season (and managed to last the duration).

Glad you got home safe, and had a good holiday.

Merry Christmas to Nikki and family, and everyone on DS.

I had my fingers crossed too

She did well and we can all be proud of her, our little best HM ever


Merry Christmas everyone

Hope Santa's been.

Got caught in the Heathrow disruption so only back yesterday. Glad to see BG made it back okay and Nikki is currently resting her singing voice.

Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you're all having a great day.

Well done to Nikki - just about now she is completing her final performance in Aladdin and i know what her first thought will be !!

Hope she will look back with pride at what she as achieved and will take away a lot of good memories that will outshine the bad, but anyway she will now be able to enjoy the rest of the festive season as only she can !

If she did enjoy it and wants to do it again next year i am sure she wont be short of offers - personally i would like to see her in Cinderella - think she would be perfect for the title role

But anyway hope she had a great christmas and everyone here on the NTA too!

Personally I want her to do Peter Pan, and hope Andrew Lloyd Webber is listening (re: autobiography of the future BB7)

She certainly did herself and all of us proud in this production and I saw 4 performances. I loved every minute of it. A funny moment was when Aladdin forgot to give her the handkerchief, when it came time for Abanazar to pick it up it came sailing in from the wings, Nikki finding it hard not to laugh lol

David Van Day tweeted the first performance was a full house and hopefully the 2nd was the same. He also tweeted he injured his hamstring and was limping around the stage . Hope he has a speedy recovery.


edit: There is a video on FB of Nikki and Carly on Christmas Day by Carly's mum Debbie. I have shared it to my profile.

Says video unavailable ??

Sorry must be Debbies friends only

It was a vid of Nikki and Carly doing karaoke of one of Lady Ga Ga's hits Bad Romance. Anyway looks like they had a great christmas, sorry about the link.

Nikki was a gem, finally i saw the show and she was exceptional. Why is it she doesn't get some tv work as she has a very good personality.

Glad you got to see it and enjoyed it - she certainly is a bright glittering gem

Glad you were able to go to the show. Yes Nikki is a gem and would like to see her do more TV work as well.

Found this lengthy review of Aladdin - don't know what this writer was watching- he thought there was no chemistry between Josh and Nikki and that she was the weakest link - couldn't disagree more - they were brilliant together and Nikki gave her all !

I wouldn't worry, Nikki was amazing in the handful of scenes she was in, which was what the part called for. It was noticable that Nikki was the only one that was been asked for autographs in the 4 shows I had seen.

It might be a review by a normal person like us and he must be big nikki hater so he must of went in with this mind and probably skipped nikki's performance by either holding his ears tight and eyes closed which he missed it. I wouldn't take any notice, is there anymore reviews?

I think you are right there as people I spoke to after the shows and around Kettering all loved her performance. And lets not forget this is Nikki's first panto and some of the others are panto veterans.

Nikki messaged me last night that she was very glad she did the panto as it was very good experience.

The Sun have a TV quiz of the year, dont watch much TV so don't know a lot of the answers - but i do know the answer to question number 42....

Yes you cant please everyone and i know i am biased but i saw people come up to Nikki after the performance i saw and so i know it wasn't just us that were impressed

It will have done her a lot of good the Panto, whatever she decides to do next
