Nicola, 41, exclusively said: “Yeah, when I did it there wasn’t any social media so the only way to connect with someone that you really liked was to write them a letter or send pics to be signed.
“We used to get loads of stuff sent to the Daily Star and The Sun when we worked for them. Well, that’s how I met my husband.
“He sent me flowers to my modelling agency and said to me in a letter ‘Here’s my name and number. I play for QPR, so you know I’m not a weirdo.’
“But I never went on the date because I was with someone that I hated at the time, so I definitely should have gone on the date.
“Then nine months later, I met a girl who had mutual friends with Tom and she said he was lovely and that I should go.
“So, I looked him up on the computer and I said to my mum that I was going to marry that man.”
She continued: “We went on a date and I moved in three weeks later and got pregnant very quickly – so it absolutely worked out.”
Nicola has been married to her husband Tom since 2009 and the couple are still going strong.
The TV star recently revealed that she and her hubby once got very drunk with a member of the royal family.
The former I’m A Celeb campmate was once out partying with Prince Harry at James Haskell’s birthday party in 2015, who was mates with the royal.
She told us: “I got very drunk and fell in a bush as I was leaving. I was trying to scramble my way up and thought, ‘My husband Tom cannot see that I’m this drunk’.
“Then Harry put a hand out and grabbed me up. I was like, ‘Don’t tell Tom,’ and we were p***ing ourselves laughing.”
