Nicole “Action Barbie” Bessick – also known as Chloe on e.tv’s Broken Vows, Xenia Samuels on Binnelanders, and Britney on the IGTV drama series, Lockdown Heights – stars in the new Showmax movie, No Hiding Here, which is billed as South Africa’s first gay romcom.

The story is set in a small town where drama teacher Sam (Earl Gregory) accidentally screens gay porn during the biggest school event of the year, and he and the guest performer at the event – a closeted celebrity musician (David Viviers) – are forced into hiding from the incensed local community. What follows for the duo is a weekend isolated at the teacher’s house – escaping from their problems, themselves, and a scandalised community demanding answers. Nicole plays Jamie-Lee, an ambitious aspiring DJ and former pupil of Sam’s who is desperate for her big break.
