NIKKI Grahame has died at the age of 38 after a long battle with anorexia.

The Big Brother star*checked into a private hospital*to treat her eating disorder last month after her desperate friends managed to raise more than £65,500 to start paying for life-saving care.

This is such devastating news. I remember watching BB7 when it first aired and it was the first BB series I watched fully so it always holds that special place in my heart and a lot of that was because of Nikki. She was such an iconic housemate throughout that series and person in general.

I’ll never forget the laughs of watching her tantrums in the diary room, her relationship with Pete and how devastated I was when she was evicted and how excited I felt when she returned to the house later in the series. It’s just so devastating that she’s gone so soon and at such a young age.

R.I.P Nikki :(

Still can’t get my head around the fact we have lost our Nikki. She defined so many of our childhoods and adolescences and is so special to so many of us. She is such a special and remarkable person and most certainly one of a kind. There will never be another one like her. Thank you for everything, literally everything Nikki❤️ Goodnight beautiful.

This is what infuriates me. Lockdown has taken so many lives and every time someone speaks out about how much it’s getting to them they’re immediately shut down with “yeah but people are dying”. It’s basically saying that what you’re going through doesn’t matter and you’re selfish for complaining. This behaviour needs to stop now

You have the right to complain about how much lockdown has had a toll on your mental health and it doesn’t make you heartless towards the people who have died of covid

You entertained the whole nation for an entire Summer back in the Golden Years of the original reality TV show. You were loved by millions.
I’m not a hugely religious person but I hope wherever you are now is a much more peaceful and happy place for you than this world was.

I have to agree with this as well.

I keep thinking of old people who have been lonely for just over a year and them probably thinking that they will end up lonely for the rest of their life too :(

Obviously lockdown does help keep rates down, but at the same time, how long can people be separated from society?

came on here to pay my respects and share some thoughts. I recently rewatched a lot of the Big Brother series including 7 which is the most entertaining imo. Nikki was amazing in this series but it really struck me watching her and Pete fall in love in that house. He truly adored her, as did the public.
I felt when she reappeared in later BB series, she grew up a little and the temper tantrums were gone and her real personality shone as someone who was so kind and lovely, and in ways I think we all fell in love with her again.
Pete's message really struck home for me, he must be devestated.

It's terribly sad, she was one of my favourite contestants ever and she was always just a really bright person despite her circumstances. The pictures that were released for her fundraiser was awful, and I remain confused as to why she had to rely on fundraisers and not the system to help her. The system failed her, it truly did.

I’m doing okay thank you gorgeous. Obviously I didn’t know her personally but I feel like I did as I’m sure many people on here do having watched her for so many years. I remember crying on my mum when she was evicted and I cried on my mum last night when I found out she had passed away. It is honestly breaking my heart that she must have suffered so much to lose her battle with this vile illness but I hope and pray she’s at peace now. :love:

...I think that reality TV people are a different type of celebrity in how we feel about them because we can so easily ourselves relate to them also...in that they go into the house as regular people...and as they begin their personal journeys in BB, we’re with them for every step of that journey...through the good, the bad, the drama and trauma and the ugly, type thing...so it’s very easy to feel that you actually know them because they become such a huge part of our lives and have so often defined our summers..and BB housemates more than other reality TV show, I think...because that show was Big Mother of reality tv to most of us...it was THE show and the reason that so many of us are here and have also bonded in our own house/forum...:laugh:....so there are a huge amount of layers to our emotions and us feeling this loss of Nikki so deeply...and for you, there’s obviously an added layer, Cal...of Nikki being your all time most loved housemate of all and someone you greatly admired and were inspired by..:hug:...and it is heart breaking how much she must have struggled and that she lost her battle to be able to not hurt anymore....but although she did heart wrenchingly lose that battle, she won everyone’s heart...we all don’t agree on many housemates but with Nikki we did...she really was most loved....:lovedup:....

This news has honestly broken my heart. Nikki was an Angel and such a joy to watch. Always full of energy and hilarious without even trying. I’m going to miss how adorable and expressive she was, and I’ll miss the love she had for BB and it’s fans. I’ll honestly miss her so much and I pray that wherever she is she’s at peace now ❤️❤️❤️

I am gutted, so young.

When i saw her picture of her and Pete on his Instagram a couple months ago, i had a bad feeling just from that. And then the Gofund me came a bit later.

I just wish she could have had the help she needed. Obviously she has suffered with anorexia for over 2 decades, but lockdown must have really damaged her.

RIP Nikki :(

I can’t stop thinking about Nikki’s passing.

Some people have mentioned that Big Brother was a haven for her, and it adds to the show's legacy that it protected someone so vulnerable the way it did. There’s a lot of negativity surrounding the nature of reality tv these days, and rightfully so. However, Nikki’s passing has shed light on the fact that Big Brother was a beacon of hope for her, and she always thrived in the environment.

Rest in peace. She’ll never be forgotten.

I completely agree with every word Ammi :love: She was the ultimate housemate. I think I will be heartbroken for a long time but the fact she got to see how adored she was before she passed via the success of the gofundme and everybody’s messages is a comfort. I will love and miss her with all my heart and I hope she truly rests in peace. Goodnight, god bless Nikki. Love you all :love: :love: :love:

Wow only just seen this image , things didn't look good for her atall . She looked so weak and poorly.

Only 38 aswell , too young .
Why did she have to rely on fundraising? , it's sad she didn't get more medical support .

It seems Covid and lockdown has caused more mental health, and more people to slip through the system.

I know covid and lockdown won't have helped the situation. But it actually started a lot earlier than this. Looking at her Instagram. 2018 she looks great but 2019 onwards you can tell that she's already suffering by that point. I just wish she had been able to get the proper help then!!

He seems genuinely upset.
He said he visited Nikki before her death and how they reminisced about BB, he was her old boyfriend afterall.

I know they split up ages ago ,but it sounds like they were still friends despite not seeing eachother often. I assumed because of Covid that's probably why they saw less of eachother .

She wasnt all that, her and grace contrived a lot of those moments in the house.

Grace was a pathetic housemate; one hm unfortunately that nikki gravitated towards.she would have won if she hadnt.

Her viewers popularity came from her fake diary room entries, and her Pete story line.

Her outside love from BB admirers came from her actions outside the house.

I don't understand where this notion is coming from, Pete was part of Nikki's life they dated and even after they split they obviously must of still been close.

So why would he be 'cashing in'. And on the morning interview the other week , he looked genuinely upset and torn up.
