Nikki Webster's grim plea to Got Talent star: LEAVE AUSTRALIA!

Former child star Nikki Webster has today turned into a public mother hen, passionately warning Australia's Got Talent finalist Jack Vidgen to leave Australia due to tall poppy syndrome.

In case you've forgotten (and that's highly likely...), Nikki was that annoying little girl from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Afterwards she had a brief singing career, peaking with her debut hit single and bogan teen romance anthem Strawberry Kisses:


Webster laments to the Sunday Telegraph that she wishes she "knew to get out of Australia at age 14, but I chose to stay in my home town and got burnt for it".

I actually agreed with Nikki here. The main reason I've been so taken aback by her comments today is because she sees it fit to compare herself to Kylie Minogue:

"Hopefully (Jack) can learn from what I went through, because I guess I was one of the first in Australia to go through it, other than Kylie".

Oh no she didn't!

Firstly Nikki, sorry girl but were never as big as Kylie even at your peak. You weren't even as big as Dannii Minogue

Secondly, "one of the first"? I don't think so... unless the world started in the 1980s.

Other than that, Nikki does have a point. Jack better watch out because he may follow in her suit and find himself in five years time releasing heinous "comeback" singles like:


...or maybe desperately performing his one hit single at a Sydney gay club. See Nikki's crowd-stopping performance of Strawberry Kisses at my friend's favourite club, The Midnight Shift below:
