In a surprising turn of events on her Nova drive show, Ricki-Lee, alongside co-hosts Tim Blackwell and Joel Creasey, received a FaceTime call from Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto. During the conversation, Ricki-Lee expressed her gratitude to Leto for being a significant source of inspiration during a challenging period in her music career.
