‘She wants a talk show!’ Richard Wilkins is ‘doing everything in his power’ to help new girlfriend Nicola Dale achieve her dream of becoming ‘the Australian Oprah’
Today entertainment guru Richard Wilkins introduced the world to his new girlfriend Nicola Dale on Instagram in July.
But it seems Dickie’s stardom may soon be eclipsed by his ambitious new girlfriend, who reportedly dreams of becoming a TV star herself.
According to Woman’s Day magazine, flight attendant Nicola has ‘looked up to Oprah Winfrey for decades’ and hopes to emulate the American talk show star’s success Down Under.
