BIG BROTHER EXCLUSIVE: BIG BUDDIES
Nikki and Grace are pals who worked together in shop
By Emily Nash And Cameron Robertson
BIG Brother contestants Grace and Nikki are keeping a secret - they've been buddies for ages, we can reveal.
They have worked together on the perfume counter at posh department store Harrods and often party at showbiz haunt Chinawhite.
It also emerged yesterday that wannabe IT girl Grace is "very good friends" with Calum Best and is being pestered for a date by Hollywood bad boy Christian Slater, who has even called her mum at home.
Her mum Alison revealed: "Some of her friends told me she knew Nikki from work.
"It will be nice for her to have someone who she knows in there, but I did think it was odd."
She added: "Grace knows so many people and everyone seems to fall in love with her.
"She's very good friends with Calum Best, but I know she hasn't slept with him - she would have told me."
Alison said 20-year-old Grace also caught the eye of star Christian Slater while he was starring in a West End play.
She said: "I think they met in a nightclub and he hasn't stopped phoning her since --he even called my house to try and speak to her."
But she dented her daughter's self-styled snobby high class image, revealing: "We're not posh, we're working class from Devon. Everything we've got, I worked hard for."
However, our revelation exposes Big Brother 7 as a sham by breaking the show's golden rule. The 14 contestants are supposed to be total strangers who meet for the first time in the house.
On last night's show, viewers saw Nikki, 24 - in sexy bunny outfit - squeal as she recognised Grace, her old department store colleague when they replayed the moment housemates entered the house. She shouted: "Oh my god, Grace - I can't believe it!"
An insider said: "If I was a viewer, I'd feel cheated. This goes against the very idea of the show - that nobody knows each other."
But a spokeswoman for Big Brother insisted show bosses did not know Nikki and Grace had worked together.
She said: "We are aware Nikki and Grace socialised in the same circles, such as Chinawhite, so they may have recognised each other's face. But we had no prior knowledge they worked together at Harrods."
