James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

Nikki Grahame has died at the age of 38.

Nikki took part in the seventh series in 2006 and was one of the show's most recognisable stars.

She returned as a housemate in UK Big Brother twice: in Ultimate Big Brother in 2010 and also the 2015 series. In 2016 she took.....

This really made it hit home

This is absolutely gutting, she made such an impact in the lives of her loved ones.

[Mokka]

I just saw this and I'm so very sad.
She was such a beautiful soul, so fragile and Fiesta in one. I truly had hope she would get the help she needed

...this is so unbearable, Jordan...even with all of the love and support and willing she had, her body was obviously just too fragile...

...she left such a legacy of love in the hearts of those who knew her, I feel...

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

Every cause of death matters

....I’ve always felt from the first lockdown and seen some some very harrowing stuff, that we may have the same COVID all around us but not everyone is experiencing the same COVID ...the differences can be vast and incomparable ....

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.

It’s so heartbreaking to see some of the DMs here from Grace, she truly cared. A lot of her BB7 cast who are active on social media have posted and it’s devastating

[BBUKAUSFAN]

A friend just told me, Im in utter shock
a true icon forever and always

rest now nikki <3

[Vanessa]

In my opinion the greatest housemate of all time.
She will be missed so much

[Deirdre]

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.

I have tears... I've rewatched their series so many times, it's one of my favourites. I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again though.

RIP Nikki.

[Pronshi]

Still so upsetting. Grace's last messages to her honestly tear me up inside.

[Tom4784]

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 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.......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.....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........

[armand.kay]

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[Samm]

I’m glad she at least got to hear the huge amount of support she received for her go-fund me
