Nikkie showed up during a scene involving Kat, played by Barbara Ferreira. In the show, Kat is a plus-sized teen suffering from self-esteem issues.

In this particular scene, Kat is seen sulking in her bed, watching a NikkieTutorials video. The video plays on her laptop and Nikkie is heard saying while doing her makeup:

"It's not gonna solve all your life problems, but it is gonna solve today's battle."

Kat then shuts the laptop lid, and the scene progresses into a paracosm, where multiple imaginary women try to build her confidence.

Nikkie's short cameo caught her followers off-guard, who couldn't have been more excited about her small-screen debut. Fans took to social media to express their joy.
