He's better off than say Sid who has half as many followers as Ola (she has 100k) but Sid may have lots of older fans.”
Of course, Nicky has been on Twitter longer than Kimberley or Victoria - I'm not sure of the exact dates, though. So comparing Twitter followers isn't an exact science.
EDIT: Did a bit of research as I have no life. Nicky has been on Twitter since at least October 2009 as that's when the link to his feed was added to his Wikipedia article. I'm pretty sure Kimberley only started tweeting late last year or early this year
Either way - in spite of a significant head start Nicky only has a 40k lead over Kimberley. So just 'how many followers' isn't necessarily the whole story.
