Nicola is a major Queer Eye fan, but she doesn't just watch the show — she's also good friends with one of the cast members. As she explained to Bustle, she and Jonathan Van Ness became friends through Instagram. "Basically, I printed his face on a jumper and posted a picture of it," she said. "I just figured if I could take a little bit of his energy onto set with me I would get up and be ready for the day and feel happy even if it was 4 a.m. So I had this hoodie made, and he saw it on Instagram and messaged me like, 'Girl, I love you!' and since then we've hung out a lot." And they have — just look at these cute pics.
She also has made it her mission to befriend the rest of the Queer Eye crew. ". . . I met Bobby at the BAFTAS. Then Tan followed me on Twitter, so I'm getting them one by one," she told Glamour UK during a November 2019 interview. "I love them. I aggressively made friends with Bobby, which was my main aim of the BAFTAS. 'If I'm not going to win a BAFTA, I'm going to be friends with Bobby.' And it's worked, because he messaged me the other day and asked when I'm coming to LA."
