Captioning the picture, Nikki wrote: “A photo I got sent from a friend of me on Michael McIntyre‘s The Wheel. It was the repeat I was dreading.
“I’ve had to accept that some jobs go well and some don’t. It took me a very long time to forgive myself for sending every f’ing contestant back down that hole. I’m no good under pressure, never have been and I wasn’t well that day, my endometriosis was painful and stuff happened so I wasn’t funny or present.
“Can’t feel good about your work all the time can you!”
