It’s claimed they now have an uneasy relationship after their brief fling turned sour.
Not true, says a frustrated Nikki.
“I can’t win,” she says. “A few weeks ago I was at this event, and they said, ‘You missed Rob’s birthday, how do you feel?’ And I said, ‘I called him, it’s fine.’ And they wrote, ‘She’s clearly bitter over the breakup.’
“I’m like, what breakup? Rob and I were never together.”
So what does she think of Rob?
“My opinion of Rob has always sort of been the same,” she says. “He’s a great guy, he’s really talented, [but] we’re not as close as the rest of the cast.”
And there you have it - no love triangle to see here!
