Adam Spratt, who had been referred to as 'hunky' by many media outlets, responded to Nicola's tweet with good humour.
He wrote: "Hunky friend! Hope your hangover isn't as bad as mine!"
A source later told the Mirror: "[Adam Spratt]'s an old friend of Nicola's family who had booked her for an appearance at the club.
