she,s been institutionalised 11 times, attempted suicide several times,

During her stay in the Big Brother house, tabloid newspapers revealed that Grahame had battled with the eating disorder anorexia for the majority of her adolescence, and had attempted suicide by taking an overdose of paracetamol several times. The programme's decision to include a contestant with prior mental health issues was criticised in the media, with experts suggesting that she should not have been allowed to take part.[16] In addition, various behaviour exhibited by Grahame—such as a high susceptibility to cold; eating food with a teaspoon; looking for reassurance about her body shape and an obsessive need for bottled water—have been directly linked to her anorexia. Endemol, the company behind Big Brother, were accused of endangering their contestant’s mental state in favour of viewing figures and Deanne Jade, founder of the National Centre Of Eating Disorders, branded them "scurrilous"

and what do they do bring her back again. stupid

She's only in there for a week. I agree that she shouldn't have been in there the first time

[waterhog]

she is back for a short period which i am sure is her choice.

as for not allowing her because of her mental state - ridiculous and that is discrimination.

she may well have problems but so have many of us and she is proof that life goes on so i am sure it will help people with these problems.

She's obviously moved on a bit from her eating disorder, you can tell she's in a better place.

To be fair back in the proper BB days they were supposed to vet people with any mental health issues for their own and their housemates' safety; being put under that much pressure could be really, really bad for some people

I dont agree,people in her vulnerable state carn,t take rejection if the crowd boo her or she,s not loved she,s likely to slip back into her anorexia and pill takeing.

She's only there for a week and she looks fine to me

[Jason.]

She's the only proper legend out of the three, TBH.
But, she's been on too much. I'm bored of her now.

Please, get someone else from BB7.

She was suffering from anorexia in 2011 not that long ago,

I agree, but saying this Brian is also a legend but not much as Nikki.
She may have been in so much but she is still great viewing

Well i thought she had relapsed quite recently and was hospitalized again

[Lampfan]

She's had more comebacks than herpes.

Not sure which is more annoying.

I feel sorry for her, her life has been hell, but she,s trying to live up to the [ who is she girl ] she was famous for, but it doesn't work any more, she,s 33 now, its old hat.

BB7 would not receive as much praise as it does without Nikki.

[johne]

As long as Nicky's not sectioned (are people still sectioned anymore these days?), is over the age of consent, and willing to participate, it's nobodies business but her own what she does with her life. Least of all is it the business of some busy body health professional poking her nose in and expressing an uninformed opinion that I suspect would deeply upset and anger Nicky if she knew about it.

It clearly does still work for her, otherwise she wouldn't be there getting paid for it.

In the grand scheme of things, your opinion and others like it don't matter.

And is that worth risking a vulnerable womens life for

Aye, she is a 1 trick pony. I assume that's why BBOTS love her.

Of couse she knows about it, she will have been councelled before going on, some people are easily amused, I just find her very irritating.

I find her irritating too, but when we start stopping adults doing things, which don't harm anyone else, on a whim or on an opinion, we're well into a brave new world.

But she,s not a normal adult she has mental problems, she,s a disaster waiting to happen, to herself.

Possibly, but such a verdict can only be reached by a qualified psychiatrist who has counselled her not by us. It will be interesting if BBBOTS set Dr. Pam on the case next week.

[Rorkimaru]

She seems stable enough to handle it to me. Like she's a bit of a tosser but she's stronger than you're giving her credit.

Our past influences us but it can't eternally define us.
