The sighting comes just hours after Nicky admitted to Daily Mail Australia that she was anxious about facing the public for the first time since news of her affair broke.
‘I’m so nervous,’ she said, before entering an exclusive tent with Lucy and Ruby ahead of the annual Ladies Day event.
Speaking to the Herald Sun last month, Nicky said she was still happily together with Garry Lyon, 50, despite the huge public uproar the relationship created.
‘We’ve all moved on and everyone is happy and we’re just getting on with life,’ she told the publication.
Scandal: Nicky had an affair with Garry Lyon (pictured), 50, who was a long-time friend of Nicky’s husband Billy Brownless
Devastated: The pair are not believed to be on speaking terms, and in March 2016, Billy (pictured) opened up about the toll the affair has had on his family, saying ‘a good mate wouldn’t do that’
‘You get to a point in your life where you just want to be happy,’ Nicky added.
Garry Lyon opened up about the affair with the wife of his ‘good mate’ Billy Brownless in an emotional interview in January.
A tearful Garry admitted he had not spoken to Billy since before Christmas 2015, while the affair became public knowledge weeks later in early 2016.
The pair are not believed to be on speaking terms, and in March 2016, Billy opened up about the toll the affair has had on his family, saying ‘a good mate wouldn’t do that.’
Shocked: ‘I couldn’t believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier on what is going on and they said they were just good friends. That’s what hurts the most,’ Billy told The Footy Show

‘By law it’s legal. Morally it’s wrong. We all know our rights and wrong. You don’t touch a man’s wallet, you don’t touch his wife.’
Garry and Billy had been friends for 15 years and worked together on the popular Footy Show on Channel 9 between 2009 and 2015.
