 | Best known to television audiences for her role in the Nine Network’s late night interactive game show, Quizmania, Osborne was spotted by Mick Molloy last year and invited onto his Triple M radio show, ToughLove. The guest spot turned into something of an audition and when Molloy began developing his new Nine Network series, The Nation, Osborne was asked to join the team as a roving reporter and performer. At 27, Osborne, who studied drama at Queensland University of Technology, already has impressive credits to her name. In 2003, she worked with Oscar-winning director Peter Bogdanovich on the popular miniseries The Mystery of Natalie Wood, playing Wood’s best friend, Jackie Estes. She also appeared in the award-winning Australian mini-series Jessica, an adaptation of Bryce Courtenay’s bestseller of the same name, and demonstrated her comic talents in the Australian feature film Ned, written and directed by Abe Forsythe. Nikki’s other job is being mum to 3 year old Will.
