'I was a lot younger. I just didn't care – it was like, 'OK, let's do this, come on – everybody in',' she said.
She continued:'I couldn't look back and tell you, 'This felt great'. Or, 'This felt wonderful'. It was so frenzied and drink-fuelled that it was just a bit of fun. It was alright.'
Nikki also revealed despite her lifestyle she was 18 before she lost her virginity – though it was in a New Jersey motel.
She said a friend of her sister's asked her to come to the off-licence to get drinks when he suggested they check into a motel.
She admits going to a motel on the side of the road in New jersey sounds seedy.
'I remember going, 'Really? This is it?'.
'He told me: 'The more you do it, the more you'll enjoy it'. I was like, 'Yeah, whatever'. I went home a month later and that was the end of that.'
And she told how she has suffered a nervous breakdown which played a part in her split from fireman Frank Black.
She revealed three years ago she was being held under the Mental Health Act in a psychiatric unit.
'And then a year after the breakdown, my marriage broke up. So, I never really properly recovered – just as I was starting to get back on my feet again, I was back down in the dumps,' she told Hot Press.
