With a former job at David Lloyd, she was a popular and knowledgable talking head on lifestyle issues.
Yet just as her screen career was taking off, Nicci was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumour. Nicci's "golf ball sized" tumour was discovered in 2001 - after she had been struggling with her speech on her radio show - and forced a huge career change.: "I was sitting in the neurosurgeon's office and he told me I had a golf ball sized benign tumour that was deeply embedded in my brain.“It was near the parts of my brain that controlled speech, balance, co-ordination, and memory.
"My neurosurgeon said if I didn't have the tumour removed it would continue to grow and I would be like a vegetable within two years and dead within five."JUNGLE FOODIEHer Facebook page describes her as a "Mind Makeover Artist - Making Over Your Mind For A Fabulous Impact."Nicci still appears on an ad hoc basis on shows including Lorraine and Sky, but has significantly slimmed down her broadcasting career.
