View Full Version : 'Princess Nikki' faces Axe

BIG Brother moaner Nikki Grahame faces losing her new TV show after revelations of her vice girl past.
The stroppy blonde has been signed up to make Princess Nikki, trying her hand at a series of jobs to see if she can last a single day.
Bosses at digital channel E4 are now considering pulling the plug, saying: “We need to chat to Nikki.”
But boyfriend Pete Bennett, who won the show and a £100,000 prize, is standing by her.
The couple spent Saturday night together at a hotel. It is believed Nikki, 24, chose then to come clean about her vice shame before yesterday’s News of the World revelations.
She and Pete had partied with other ex-houemates at the Holiday Inn in Borehamwood, Herts.
A source said: “They had an emotional reunion and sat up drinking with everyone until the early hours.
“Nikki and Pete then went up to his room and she stayed over.”
Last night ex-druggie Pete, 24, shrugged off Nikki’s shame and said: “I’ve done much worse.”
Nikki has confessed to working as a £500-an-hour vice girl for the Bonnie escort agency.
Junkie rocker Pete Doherty was one of her clients, although Nikki insists she did not have full sex with him — or her other two clients.
And fearing she would lose BB winner Pete, she sobbed to pals: “I hope it doesn’t turn him off me.”
Tourette’s sufferer Pete snubbed Nikki on Friday and spent time with his family, including mum Anne and younger brother Alex.
Friday’s final was watched by 8.2million viewers.

Society is so ridiculous when someone get's denied a TV show becuase they were an Escort.
Leslie Grantham ( Dirty Den ) from Eastenders is an Murderer who did his time. Didn't stop them giving him acting and prestenting work.
In that case, they should've removed Imogen from the BB House for a sex tape! That's ridiculous.

And they should also have banned Glyn form the house because he's obviously masturbated in the past!!
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
And Richard for having anal sex and Mikey for "Worshipping the Gash"
Let's ban everyone!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Much ado about nothing. If true at least she made some rich goon happy which is more than the character bashing newspapers do....

I think you'll find the story is only partly true. The show will be waiting to see if the public are bothered and since they seem to not care it will go ahead.

Noooo
I was looking forward to that :(
I was thinking she`d lost it before the revelations. BB must have realised that acting a tantrum is even worse viewing.

I can not think of anything more boring than watching Nikki say "im not doing it" this is stupid!
She really went down in my estimation on Friday night with that silly petrified child routine that she tried to pull off. We all know she isnt the vulnerable girl she trys to be. That said who are we to pass judgement on any of the HMs for their pasts.

When Simple Life series 1 started, Paris was an unpopular rich girl who had a sex tape, and Nicole was a unheard of adopted girl who was Paris' best friend.
Now Paris is a popular actress, recording artist, and has many more jobs, Nicole is a heard of girl with plenty of jobs now.
I think it could do a lot for Nikki

i agree with the above
all i can say is i hope she declared all her earnings from her sordid past.. repurcussions can be expensive. :tongue: there is nothing i hate more than selling your body for illgotten gains.. i disliked nikki the spoilt brat in the house, this just re-iterates how i feel about the girl :devil:

I hope they don't go ahead with the show tbh, or nikki tells them where to shove it. If Nikki doesn't have loads of tantrums and arguments with co-workers then the producers will try and make her do it on purpose and act alot. We all know that Nikki was better when she just acted more naturally (like when she first went into the house) but when she went back in and she knew the public loved it she just went too far, that's what will happen with her on this show unfortunately.
Why should the fact that she was a vice girl be a problem though? we have all done things that we regret, and the show isn't about Nikki's past.. or Nikki sex life, it's about Nikki doing jobs.. what does that have to do with her being a vice girl? :bored:

I was looking forward to this, id be disapointed to see it be axed.
I dont see Nikki past has anything to do with it tho - I mean e4 gave Russel (a ex-Drug addict for many years) his own show! I think it just that since Nikki went back in she became less popular and that could be the reason.

21-08-2006, 03:31 PM
Nikki coming in 5th place getting about 6% of the vote just proves how low her popularity has sunk, and the show makers know they have dodged a bullet in knowing the show is not a good idea. It is very good news that a human being like that is not going to make a living out of BB as she deserves to have to work and live in the real world, and she clearly will not be able to cope and go back to prostitution or go back to anarexia and get sectioned again which will be doing the world a favour.
It is now clear that Nikki has a lot more haters than lovers, people say she is a love me or hate me character well its clear that that is true but 94% hate her!

Unfortunately, i agree. It will just be sleazy producers making nikki's tantrums contrived and unnatural.

(It would be funnier if they got her in the running for The Apprentice.)
I don't think they would axe it based on her ahem, "past" but simply because you can't base a television show on tantrums that were funny for about 20 seconds.

Well said. That sums up the situation exactly.
I don't understand why some are saying they hope the show does not go ahead!!! Thats a rather selfish attitude to those that like Nikkie and her tantrums. Those that dont fair enough you can always switch off.
There is no need to have people that do like her in effect censored of seeing her because some seem to have forgotten there is an off switch on ther TV........

I still say if it gets axed, it wont be because of her past.. but because of the downturn in hre popularity..
As someone already mentioned.. Russel Brand has a jaded past.. and then of course we have jailbird Johnny Vaughn.. he is doing alright for himself considering he was busted with a car load of drugs at a motorway services!.. :rolleyes:
If they do axe it over such a stupid thing well that is just their loss tbh because no matter how many people like to make out they hate Nikki the show would pull viewers without a doubt!!

CH4 have a lot to thank Nikki for. Love her or hate her she pulled in the votes. She made people watch. She helped make BB7 a success. They owe her.........Without extreme characters like her the BB format would be dead in the water.....
If Lea can make hard core and still be loved by the public why not Nikki who has done nothing near as extreme as Lea. At least not for public viewing. A pesons sex life style is there own business and those that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Point 1 she was an escort girl and not a prostitute, they are not the same thing
Point 2 When her third client made that mistake and tried it on, she fled
Point 3 This is sailing close to the wind in violating the forum regulations
Nikki like a number of the HM had some personal demons, and they are not allowed to escape them?

I don't like Nikki at all, but I don't understand why people on here are saying things like "if you had an ounce of intelligence" you wouldn't watch the show, because it just means that some people like Nikki! If they do, they're not a dumb person, or worse off for it. You wouldn't like it if people called you dumb because of an opinion you had, so why say it about someone else?
Also to say that Nikki should go back to prostitution (which didn't happen in the first place) and anorexia to do the world a favour, that is actually sick. That's practically willing her to die, and I find that disgusting that a person can say that about somebody else.

All you Nikki fans have defended her stating you either love her or hate her because of her personality, Nikki is a very stupid and ott girl and not many people can just be not bothered about her, you Nikki fans have all agreed with this in the past, So people who love her would vote and the people who hate her wouldnt and out of all the votes she got 6% leaving 94% hating her, its a fact which I have just proven.

For the record, I am not a Nikki fan or opposite
I have neither voted against her or for her
I am neutral, so please do not try an ascribe loyalties to me.
We are told she got 6%, but not the raw numbers, which makes that figure meaningless from a statistical sense, speaking as a fully paid up fellow of the Royal Statistical Society.
It does not mean that 94% hated her, just that the others got more votes. In the case of Pete, the odds at the bookies indicated t was going to be a landslide victory.
If Pete were not so popular, and again I have to point out that I neither voted for or against Pete, then theoretically, with the same number of Votes Nikki could have had a much higher percentage.
Look back at my earlier posts, Endemol has not given us the raw data, unlike in pervious years. What have they got to hide?
franky1, If I can ask a personal question here, given the vitriol you have poured on this contestant on a tv game show, and those who have spoken up for her, what did Nikki do to you personally in the real world, rather than what Endemol chose to show you.

SHE KILLED MY MOTHER AND FRAMED ME FOR THE MURDER!! There I said it...
Dont ask supid questions mate she is just a very unlikeable human being and 94% would agree with me!
What the hell are you on about with all this if Pete was unpopular then Nikki would of had a higher percentage bull crap, it is obvious she had a very low percentage of the vote as 4 people beat her, And again people who do like her clearly dont have very good sense of humours as when I see acting and whinging, behaving like a spoilt 5 year old, tamtrums when she is not centre of attention, fame hungry, nasty, bitchy people like Nikki I am not amused and more angry that this woman may make a career out of this behaviour and live the simple life, where hard working good human beings have extremely hard lives. Thats why people who like her annoy me because she does not deserve to be liked.

I did not say if Pete was unpopular, but if Pete was not as popular, there is a distinction
If you have a vote where the only votes are cast are
10 for A
15 for B
20 for C
55 for D
Total votes cast = 100
D is the most popular but because of the low turnout, A has 10% of the vote
However if there is a higher turnout for D and D gets 155 votes with all the other votes the same, then A appears to have only 5%.
This is why a percentage is meaning less unless you have the raw data, which Endemol failed to supply.
But if Nikki was so unpopular, why did she get 63% (whatever the rw data was) to go back in. I never took part in that vote either.

i have no idea what the last few post mean.
E4/channel4 probably pulled the plug on 'princess nikki' after her second stint in the BB house.it was probably a good idea,in the begining.then they might have realised that it was a none starter after realising,like most of us, that you can't base a show on a self-absorbed drama queen.
the simple life had some merit as it was a classic fish-out-of-water story.

Justify your evil wish to see her with anorexia again...Purely over a game show and a person you have never met.
As for your logic about percentages Nikki was first voted out with 37% of the vote so according to your logic 63% of the population actually like her.....
Statistics can be made to fit any argument and your idea of satistics are as wobbly as any other..

No I meant what I said they may have liked Nikki, but liked the person they voted for more!
