Real sad

I Will Be Watching This On Thursday.

Rip Nikki :bawling:

[rusticgal]

She was classic….

[Dogeatdog]

Time goes so fast I can’t believe it’s been a year since she passed away. :’(

Yes she remained, so thin
it was a sad loss.



At least her Mother
is part of this Tribute/documentary

[Dogeatdog]

Started now. Nikki’s mum seems so lovely I feel so sorry for her :(

[Dogeatdog]

It must’ve felt so overwhelming and confusing at the same time for her after spending 11 years in hospital.

[Dogeatdog]

Aww her eviction is probably one of the most memorable of all the housemates. She was so frightened before those doors opened and but her face when she got so many cheers you can tell she was really taken aback by it.

It’s a shame she went so early because that series started to lack something after she went.

[Dogeatdog]

It’s sad to see that her health started to deteriorate after BB ended. She felt so comfortable being in the BB house.

[Dogeatdog]

Omg those pictures on the gofundme page are just heartbreaking. It’s just awful to see how the lockdowns were affecting her so much :’(

[Dogeatdog]

That was a difficult watch. She was such a great housemate and it’s so sad learning about all the difficulties she went through before and after Big Brother. It’s such a shame Nikki had so many loving friends and family that supported her all the way and she had a huge impact on so many peoples lives it’s sad that Nikki is no longer with us. She’ll is still truly missed, RIP Nikki :love:

[actor]

Recorded this so starting to watch it now. This is gonna be hard.

[actor]

A bit confused why they said that clip of her singing karaoke with her friend was from 2005 when they were singing Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, which wasn't released until 2009/2010.

[actor]

I have wondered for a few years now, although Nikki was possibly the most entertaining housemate of all time, should they really have allowed her into the house? Back in the early years the producers really did put mentally unwell people in there and almost exploited them for entertainment. However, hearing her mum and best friend speak, it seems to have really turned her life around and gave her a happiness and purpose that she was missing at that time in her life.

Mental illness shouldn't preclude someone from going on the show provided said mental illness is treated and manageable. Also Nikki was far from exploited she was very much an active participant in the madness that was BB and she loved every moment of it.

I think secretly Nikki knew there was a possibility she wouldn't live a full life so being in and craving the spotlight was her way of trying to make the most of what time she had.

I tried to watch this on all4 last night but it said it wasn't available, is it on there now ?.

Yes under Thursday
says Niki Graham : who is she
S1 EP1

Thats on Virgin Catch Up.

On until 7th of May

[Vanessa]

I'll watch this on catch up.
This is a subject I know very well. I've had both anorexia and bulimia in the past.
Nikki was indeed very special and in my opinion the greatest housemate the show has ever had.

I think things went downhill since lockdown.
She probably felt alone and vulnerable :bawling:

She looked great here. But after lockdown things must have got worse :bawling:

[UserSince2005]

the poor babe couldnt go to the gym in lockdown and so lost her routine, for her she must have felt that she lost her control. and so she took control by starving herself.
All because of the lockdown.

I know, that's what I said in the second half of my post.

The producers do have a duty of care though and looking back it raises some concerns over whether some people should have been allowed in. Treated or not, you could tell some people were extremely vulnerable and almost disassociated from reality. Is that fair to lock people like that up for 3 months and film their mental decline for the entertainment of the public?

It's also an issue of safety when it comes to people like Shahbaz who threatened to kill himself and all of the housemates in their sleep.

[rusticgal]

I tried to watch this on all4 last night but it said it wasn't available, is it on there now ?.

It’s still not on there…:fist:

[Strictly Jake]

Watching this now it's almost finished. I'm still so devastated by it. It's so sad

[user104658]

I mean realistically that wouldn't be possible - there are people just behind the mirrors watching them at all times. Though he might have been able to get one of 'em before he was stopped... I reckon he'd have gone for Richard.

I don't think Shahbaz would have laid a finger on anyone, it was more verbal and the worst he did was hiding food.

If anything Sezer seemed more aggressive ( I could not stand that arrogant little pr1ck) , he bullied Shahbaz and other housemates joined in. Hiding his clothes and locking him in the garden was childish & mean.

[GoldHeart]

It’s still not on there…:fist:

I just checked again ,I don't understand why it's still not available :conf: .

[rusticgal]

No..I don’t either.

[Vanessa]

Her diary room rants were epic!

[UserSince2005]

I really don’t like the name of this documentary though.
She said “who is she” about someone as a derogatory statement
And then they call the documentary that as a like who is Nikki
Which is just weird.
And sure Nikki wouldn’t have wanted it to be called this.

[Mojina]

I don't think the title is disrespectful, it's a play on her famous quote and quotes are what people are remembered for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TMP38TxMdI&ab_channel=BritTVTube

This was a truly sombre and harrowing documentary about Nikki's life beyond the surface. Hearing her voice a few days before she died saying how lucky she was to have escaped death sounding the same but knowing she looked far different from those last pictures was chilling. It seemed the help came critically too late for her.

Her psychologist getting a call that a clinic in South Africa were willing to take her in but a private clinic in her own country were too eager to get her out is disturbing. Hopefully lessons can be learned about urgency of care for people with eating disorders.

It was nice to see Carly, her best friend who I recognised from BBLB. Didn't know that's how they met, at an eating disorder clinic.

But Ch4 Consulted the Mother
and it is her most famous clip, she said
when that other mature Lady entered house.

It’s on there now Goldheart…

[GoldHeart]

It’s on there now Goldheart…

Oh ok
I might watch it tonight then :wavey:

Yes I’m going to watch it tonight…:wavey:

Just finished watching it , it was very sad indeed.

Yeah it looks like lockdown caused her illness to deteriorate , it's ashame that before that ....she didn't move back in with her mum or one of her friends who could have looked after her .But anorexia is a difficult psychological illness aswell as physical, and it took her over completely .

Seeing those latest images of her looking so thin and poorly was really terrible and shocking , especially the photos on the go fund me page. If only she got help in time R.I.P.

[UserSince2005]

Just watched it, rubbish documentary,
Didnt go deep enough into her illness.
didnt even really capture a full picture of her life either
They could have shown her in Canada.
Just felt like they skirted over everything
50 minutes of my life and i learnt nothing new.

Very sad…and very tragic. She was one of a kind….

Routine is so important for people with mental health issues. Gyms should have been able to make allowances for people over lockdown.

It was a Great Documentary
you are WRONG.

It starts with her not eating as a child
and as she got older.

I did not know she was Force Fed as a Child.

And her Close mate
saying her in Big Brother
was her doing better
and eating better


Tantrum a Day
was Niki's style.



Her Close Friend Lady
loved the overnight Live Feed


Nice of her Mum
to say Big Brother Saved her Life.



Also Great to see an old TV Clip
her Win the Public Voted Award
at the NTA.


And the Conclusion
showed how 2020 Covid
made her withdraw
in the wrong way.

In 2001 a Clinic in South Africa was ready to take on Niki
but it was too late.
