Speaking about their split during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Nicole revealed: ‘I don’t see anything negative.

Viktoria reportedly revealed that the pair met in Barcelona four years ago, before exchanging direct messages on Instagram, though they’re not just friends.

The model has previously claimed that she’s been messaged by countless footballers and athletes on Instagram in the past, including Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo.
