It comes after in recent years, 37-year-old Nicola, who plays Penelope Featherington in Netflix's Bridgerton, said that Kim was her 'bestie'. Speaking to Bustle in 2022, the former Derry Girls star explained: “I woke up one morning and had a DM from Kim Kardashian.

“I was like, ‘What is going on?’ So weird! We talked about Bridgerton."

The pair kept in touch, with Nicola messaging Kim around that time to wish her luck for her appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The 37-year-old said: “I messaged Kim to say, ‘You’re gonna do great!’ And she said, ‘Thanks, I’m really nervous'.

“I told her, ‘No, you’re gonna kill it.’

“She’s so nice. I’d heard that about her from lots of different people, and I can attest to it now...

"Well, now I’m, like, best friends with Kim Kardashian."
