CARRIE BICKMORE: Please welcome Nikki Webster!

NIKKI WEBSTER: Hi!

CARRIE: Do they superglue those masks on? It looks like it took forever to get your head out of that.

NIKKI: Oh they’re so hard to take off, exactly. Nothing like TV to get it off.

CARRIE: How was the whole experience, did you love it?

NIKKI: I loved it. It was so much fun. Crazy, wacky but just a great time to kind of perform and sing again, and you know, behind a mask where no one kind of, well, no one knew who I was until they heard me sing. So it was a pretty awesome experience.

WALEED ALY: Well officially no one knew who you were but I think a fair few people guessed it.

NIKKI: I think so.

WALEED: What I have a problem with is, right, because Strawberry Kisses was set on a space ship. And I remember this because I was clearly the target demographic for that song. But if you’re gonna be famous for a film clip on a space ship, when they come to give you a costume, could they have given you something other than the alien?

NIKKI: I know, why couldn’t I be the unicorn or something?

WALEED: Yes!

NIKKI: Or the lion? I had my ‘rawr’ ready, I don’t know! I guess it was more about the alien being, people kind of think they know who the alien is but do they really know who they are. So it was kind of that idea.

WALEED: Well it turns out yes, they knew.

NIKKI: They guessed! I’m very predictable, what can I say?

JACINTA: Watching you last night talk about your daughter was so surreal. We still think of you as little Nikki Webster, and now you’re 32 and mum of two kids.

NIKKI: Thanks for making me feel old, but yeah! [laughs] But yes I get older like everyone else, and it’s the best job of what I do, is being a mum. So to make them proud was incredible and watching them watch the reveal last night just made everything well worth it, that’s for sure!

TOMMY LITTLE: Nikki, I’m so sorry about Jacinta’s question. Are you at the age now where we’re not meant to mention your age?

NIKKI: Well never to a lady. That’s it, see I’m a lady now. So never to a lady, that’s for sure!

Nikki Webster Has Been Working On New Music

By Olivia Esveld

If you’ve been missing, wishing, missing Nikki Webster’s strawberry kisses then you would have been very pleased to see her burst back onto the scene on The Masked Singer last night.

Nikki was unmasked as The Alien last night following a stellar performance of ‘Youngblood’ by Aussie band 5 Seconds of Summer.

And while we weren’t necessarily shocked to see Nikki’s bright and bubbly face pop up when the mask was officially removed, we certainly were happy about it!

Nikki joined Kyle and Jackie O this morning to chat all about her experience on Channel 10’s latest competition show.

Nikki told us that she was so excited to take part in order to inspire the students at her dance school. But she had to keep it a secret from absolutely everyone!

“I guess that’s what doing this show was about was showing them, yes they’ve seen all of my stuff on YouTube when they weren’t even born and they’ve kind of revisited what I’ve done but that I’m still doing things and I’m still pushing my career and you’ve got to work hard to have a career,” Nikki told us this morning.

“She had no clue,” Nikki added about her five-year-old daughter. “And thank god I never told her because last week everyone was asking her, like in the street, ‘Is your mum the Alien?’.”

“And then last night she was watching it and I didn’t watch the TV I just watched her and her face was incredible,” Nikki added.

After Nikki’s incredible voice was brought back to our attention on the show, Jackie decided to ask whether she would consider doing anything with music in the future.

“Any new music from you?” Jackie asked.

“Hopefully! I’ve definitely written new music,” Nikki revealed. But she’s also working on some new and exciting things outside of the recording studio!

“I’m kind of working on some other projects that hopefully will come to fruition you know, outside of music and for the new generations of tomorrow, so that’s my real passion.”

How exciting! We can’t wait to see more from the Strawberry Kisses and now The Masked Singer star in the future.

Nikki Webster Had A Major Mishap During Her First Masked Singer Performance

By Olivia Esveld

Nikki Webster’s performances on The Masked Singer might have been pitch perfect but it turns out that her first performance on night one of the show had a major error!

But the malfunction wasn’t actually shown on TV!

Nikki joined the Kyle and Jackie O show this morning when Nikki and Jackie, who is one of the panelists of the show, revealed the inside goss on the moment that never made it to air.

According to the pair, the moment occurred as Nikki was singing Born This Way and was trying to have a Lady Gaga moment as she emerged singing from inside a big bubble as the Alien.

But things didn’t really work out as planned the first time around!

“A lot of people don’t know this but on the first episode that we recorded, you were in this perspex bubble,” Jackie began.

“It was like a world, like an alien kind of world where this alien was kind of hatching out of this egg was the idea of it, however, it never went right,” Nikki revealed.

While in the official footage from the show Nikki is seen successfully emerging from the bubble to finish her performance, she told us that things didn’t run so smoothly during the actual filming.

“We had quite a bit of problems with your egg didn’t we,” Jackie said.

“And it takes a good 25 minutes to blow it up,” Nikki continued. “So they have to blow it up halfway, and then I have to try and get inside with the head which is just ridiculous in this little hole.

“And then, trying to remember I’ve got to sing, and then the dances were supposed to pull it and it was supposed to open beautifully and I was supposed to emerge as the Alien.”

“But it didn’t,” Jackie added with a laugh.

Apparently the big bubble actually collapsed leaving Nikki trapped inside!

“It collapsed on Nikki,” Jackie revealed. “She was midway singing, it totally collapsed and it looked like it was suctioning in on you and you stopped singing and it went dead.”

After the mishap, Nikki then had to restart her performance for the recording, which she explained was incredibly hard work when you’re wearing a massive costume.

“I think that’s where they banned all hard sets,” Nikki added. “But I had to sing back-to-back for that episode. It was hard because I was boiling and hot and sweaty, I couldn’t take the head off as they were blowing up the thing. It was crazy.”

Kyle was so gobsmacked by the revelation!

“People are taking their lives into their own hands being on this show,” he exclaimed.

“Imagine if you died in an Alien head inside a deflated bubble.”

“What a way to go,” Jackie laughed.

Thankfully Nikki managed to make it out of that one unharmed! Relive her first performance as the Alien in the video below!
