Footage of the Westlife singer's training session has been released on the BBC website where thanks to an unfortunate choice of clothing, Nicky's unbronzed skin became more than apparent.
Arriving for his first session, Nicky decided to bear his legs, turning up wearing a pair of shorts.
Blaming the lighting in the dance studio, Nicky couldn't believe how pale he was.
He said: "Whatever is going on with the lights they've made my legs look the whitest they've ever been since I was born so I might actually tan all right!"

Dancer partner Karen was also unimpressed with the singer's choice of attire for their first session.
She joked: "Ballroom shoes and then the little socks, it's just not.."
Interjecting, Nicky exclaimed: "There's nothing wrong with that! They're fantastic."

Nicky's first dance will be the Waltz and so far, Karen has been impressed.
She admitted: "I think today's session went really well. It's the Waltz, it's a tough one. It looks beautiful and it looks easy but it's really not."
"Nicky's a winner already, I just need to fix a few things here and there but I think he's got what it takes."
No pressure then Nicky!

Nicky previously admitted that his dance ability was somewhat limited to the one move made famous by Westlife.
He said: "Standing up for a key change became synonymous with us."
"Actually Robbie Williams once said to us that we should call our next album stand up for the key change. So that's my dance experience!"
