‘Gettin’ down on Friday’: Tween sensations Nikki Webster and Rebecca Black unite to bring Australian fans the ultimate night of rave bingo
Nikki Webster and Rebecca Black were both just 13 years old when their singles Strawberry Kisses and Friday became smash hits.
And now the unlikely duo are set to unite years later for an intense night of bingo.
Nikki, 32, and Rebecca, 22, will lead Bingo Loco attendees in a series of interactive games that are said to ‘turn bingo on its head’.

Despite the intense and often brutal criticism, Rebecca appeared in Katy Perry’s music video TGIF just three months after Friday was released.
Rebecca has continued to maintain her YouTube channel throughout the years, sharing videos of her daily life, song covers and even releasing new music.
Meanwhile, Nikki, who is best known for her performance at the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony in 2000, stayed primarily behind the scenes after her initial success.

As a teenager, Nikki toured for several years before launching her own clothing line at Kmart.
She later stepped back from the spotlight and opened her own dance studio, before having two children.
After appearing on The Masked Singer Australia as the Alien, Nikki announced she would bring the American reality series Dance Moms to Australian shores.
