Nikki Webster stole the hearts of the world as a performer at the 2000 Sydney Olympics when she was just 13.
And the former child star still looked remarkably youthful on Tuesday as she marked the 20th anniversary of the games on Nine’s Today show.
Here’s what the 33-year-old Australian singer has been up to in the two decades since her rise to fame in 2000.

Nikki appeared to have barely aged a day in the video cross with anchor Karl Stefanovic and fill-in co-host Deborah Knight.
Reflecting on her stardom as a teenager, she said: ‘There was no written book on how to do it right. We just kind of went with it. Took the experience for what it was and that.’
Nikki added: ‘I got to be immersed with so many different people from around the world, I got to make music and clothing ranges and do so much.’
In 2001, Nikki released the chart-topping single Strawberry Kisses, and in 2005 had her own range of clothing sold at Kmart.

Last year, news came to light that Nikki’s former partner, Matthew McMah, had been charged with assaulting her.
McMah was convicted of common assault domestic violence and fined $800 in July, The Daily Telegraph reported on November 2, 2019.
The pair had been together for seven years, but it was revealed Nikki had quietly split with McMah earlier in the year.
McMah, who is understood to work in the aviation industry, proposed to Webster after two-and-a-half years of dating during a romantic holiday to Fiji in 2010.
They were married since 2012, although it’s unclear when their relationship broke down.
