In 2010, Jack was cast in the BBC Scotland soap opera River City as Nicole Brodie.[3][4] She made her first on-screen appearance on 12 October 2010. ATV described her as "14 going on 40".[5] Speaking of her casting, Jack said, "I think they [her parents] were happier than me when I got the part. My mum was screaming down the phone. I think she nearly had a heart attack."[3] She quit the role in 2014, saying that she had learned all she could from the character.[1] Of her last storyline on the show, she told The Sunday Post that it "left her shattered".[6]
