Nadine grew up in Derry, Northern Ireland, before moving to London and then over to the States.
Speaking to the Independent.ie last year, Nadine shared her frustrations with people discussing her accent: "It’s almost like people think it’s ok to mention the Irish accent but what if I had any type of accent? Or from any other nation?
“It would be viewed as hugely disrespectful to pick up on the accent, on something that’s different. But because you’re Irish it’s alright to point and laugh."
