Nicole Kidman's nepo baby niece Lucia Hawley begs for a job as she reveals she is unemployed after quitting her TV gig in Australia and moving to London
The 26-year-old gave up her role as host of 7Bravo in Australia and relocated overseas last month.
In her latest Substack blog, she spoke about the challenges of starting afresh in a new country without a job.
'On June 18, I officially made the move to London. On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me (someone hire me pls),' she wrote.
'I am risk-averse, which means my body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed.'

Lucia revealed she found it 'traumatic' to say goodbye to her boyfriend Henry and younger siblings.
'Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult (I am traumatised by airport goodbyes). Even harder were the goodbyes to my family - I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears,' she added.
The presenter finished by saying while it was a hard decision to make, she knew it was ultimately for the best.
'It is exciting and freeing and kind of what life is all about. I believe home to be a feeling... Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance,' she wrote.
In December, Channel Seven announced that former Bachelor star Bella Varelis would be the new host of 7Bravo, following Lucia's resignation.
Bella, who was runner-up on Locky Gilbert's season of The Bachelor, became the channel's new local host and the face of Live From E! red carpet events in Australia.
NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-to-Consumer and Distribution, Australia & New Zealand Managing Director, Chris Taylor, said: 'We are thrilled to have Bella step into this much-coveted role, becoming the new host of 7Bravo.
'As a familiar face on 7Bravo, we have every confidence that her on-screen warmth, energy, style and expertise will continue to resonate strongly with audiences and talent alike.'
Channel Seven said 'Lucia is departing the role at the end of this year to explore other opportunities' after two years.
Lucia is the eldest child of Nicole Kidman's sister Antonia and her ex-husband Angus.
She started her TV career after studying Arts at the elite University of Sydney.
Following her degree and internship at Vogue Australia, she started working at a production company as an assistant and later applied for a job at 9Honey — Channel Nine's women's network.
She eventually landed a role with NBC Universal - who launched 7Bravo in 2022.

Liverpool street where Beatles legend George Harrison was born puts a chain up...to stop tourists getting in
They come from Here, There and Everywhere to see the childhood home of the Beatles legend George Harrison. But residents in the terrace street where the late guitarist spent the first seven years of his life have become increasingly irate at being inundated with tourists and day trippers – and have now chained off the road in an attempt to stop the disruption. Access to Arnold Grove was restricted earlier this month after residents complained that the number of Beatles fans descending on the street had surged since a blue heritage plaque was put up outside number 12, where Harrison lived, last year. A chain now in place across the entrance to the street in Liverpool's Wavertree district carries a sign which says: 'Private Road - Residents Access Only'. Arnold Grove is unadopted, meaning Liverpool City Council is not responsible for it. Harrison, the Beatles' lead guitarist, was the youngest of four children and lived in the street until his family moved into a council house in the suburb of Speke. The three-bedroom property is now and Air BnB marketed at Beatles fans. As is the case with John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney's childhood homes in South Liverpool, Arnold Grove has become a hotspot for tourists - featuring on tours - and residents of the Wavertree street said this has only increased since the plaque was installed. The BBC reported on Monday that a chain was put up as residents had complained about their privacy being invaded by tourists. Chris Bennett, who lives on the street and is licensee of The Cock and Bottle pub on the nearby High Street, told the BBC: 'Since the blue plaque went up it's been ridiculous.. The volume of traffic is too much now and we don't get any peace. 'The first taxi could come at 9am and my wife will see another on the road when she gets home at 9pm. 'You get people looking through the window and if you leave your front door open they look through the door.' The Magical Mystery tour run by the Cavern Club, the Liverpool venue synonymous with the Beatles, is one of the tours which frequently calls at the site. But a resident called Onyema, who didn't wish to give his surname, said he had lived on Arnold Grove for around a year and did not see the visits of Beatles fans as a problem. He told the Liverpool Echo: 'Tourists don't park here, they park the tour coaches on the main road and then they come here. They always come around but I don't have a problem with it. 'It's a good street to live on - it's a lovely place. I like the fact tourists come here.' Harrison's widow, Olivia, unveils the plaque outside his childhood home in May 2024 The tour used to take people onto the street but this has stopped since the chain was put in place. Holly Andrews, 36, from Pennsylvania, USA, was among the Beatles tourists to depart the bus in Wavertree on Friday. She was sad not to have made it onto the street but understood concerns from the residents. She said: 'I did this tour in 2008 and I was just looking at my photo from being in front of the house. But in the same token, these people have a right to their own privacy and their homes. 'It's great to be able to see it and imagine the guys walking down the street and doing their thing. But it's also being respectful to the home owners and striking that balance.' Liverpool-based Beatles tour guide Jackie Spencer wrote on Facebook: 'Many people are contacting me asking my opinion on the chain across Arnold Grove. I've been biding my time and considering how to reply, but the truth is I am livid. 'Not at the residents of Arnold Grove. Not at all. 'They've put up with a lot over the years and in my 30 years as a guide they've always been lovely and welcoming to me because I have never overstepped the mark and treated everyone with the respect and gratitude they deserve. (left to right) Ringo Starr, George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney in a Beatles publicity picture from 1963 'I am livid at the fake unlicensed guides, taxi drivers & lone tourists who have absolutely no respect for people's privacy.' 12 Arnold Grove was marked with a blue plaque to celebrate George's contribution to culture through film, music and his humanitarian work. The musician's widow, Olivia Harrison unveiled the Historic England plaque in May 2024. Somewhat prophetically, she said that while her husband would have been 'touched' by his childhood home being honoured, she felt he would be 'nervous' the current residents might get disrupted because of it. A spokesman for the Magical Mystery tour told The Telegraph that it had received no previous complaints about increasing tourist numbers, and said it had a 'great relationship' with the street's residents. Harrison died in November 2001 at the age of 58 following a battle with cancer.

The Block contestants crumble under the pressure just days into the renovation as Alicia breaks down over bathroom drama
The Block is back - and so are the tears and tantrums. On Monday night, Sonny and Alicia hit a snag with their bathroom renovation thanks to an undersized shower door. The pair were warned by Foreman Dan that having an opening that is just 650mm wide was not likely to go over well with the judges. It was all too much for Alicia to bear, and she broke down in tears of frustration. 'I just don't want to fail,' she sobbed to her husband, Sonny. Despite only being a few days into renovations, Alicia was feeling the pressure of having to make difficult decisions quickly. The couple opted to ditch the screen around their shower to avoid the issue, but the process left Alicia rattled. On Sunday, the show kicked off with high emotion, unexpected confessions and more tears than tiles. This year's season, filmed in Daylesford, Victoria, is already shaping up to be one of the most heartfelt yet, with several cast members breaking down as they opened up about their pasts, personal battles and the pressure of national television. WA contestant Can, who is competing alongside her partner Hannah, was visibly emotional as she spoke about her journey with her sexuality - revealing this was the first time she's come out publicly. 'For a lot of my teenage years I felt a lot of shame and insecurity around my sexuality,' Can said through tears in the show's premier episode on Sunday night. 'I have not professed that I have a girlfriend or that I am gay and I still hide it from certain people and in certain instances. So, to come on national TV is a big thing.' Fellow contestant Mat, a South Australian hairdresser who is competing with his best mate Robby, also got choked up as he opened up about growing up gay in a strict environment. 'High school was probably the toughest time of my life because I was a figure skating, gay boy at a private Catholic school with lesbians for parents,' he revealed. 'So it wasn't f**king easy in the late '90s.' Tears continued when Han and Can missed out on their dream home after coming fourth in the ChillOut Festival float challenge, which determined house selections. They were devastated to be stuck with a flat-roofed house they didn't want. Han was so emotional she had a long cry in the bath while Can tried to cheer herself up by Googling design inspiration. 'I hate it. It's like letting go of my child,' Han moaned.
