Big Brother star Nikki Grahame dies aged 38



https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56705671

The TV personality had checked into a private hospital last month as she fought an eating disorder. In a statement to the BBC, Nikki's manager confirmed "with immeasurable sadness" that Nikki died on Friday morning.

Nikki, originally from Northwood in London, took part in the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006. She became known for her tantrums, particularly in the Diary Room.

Nikki would often complain to Big Brother about the conditions in the house or fellow contestants, famously shouting "It's so cold," and, on another occasion, asking "Who is she?" after a new housemate joined the show.

Nikki was hugely popular with viewers, and was voted back into the house four weeks after she was first evicted. She subsequently finished in fifth place
.
She later developed her career as a popular TV personality, and starred in her own reality TV series called Princess Nikki. She also guest-starred on programmes such as the Friday Night Project and as a contestant on celebrity editions of shows such as Pointless and The Weakest Link.

Nikki's battle with anorexia was well documented, and she released a book about her eating disorder in 2009.
How sad .....

Nikki was an endearing character but far too fragile for the world of entertainment .....

I was very saddened to hear this news this evening. I really liked her but she was a little girl in a womans body, a little girl lost. RIP Nikki and thank you for the entertainment, a small woman with a big personality. I too found her an endearing character.

I'm so glad you posted this, Omah. I loved Nikki when she was on BB, and watched her Princess Nikki series. I donated to her Go-Fund me page as she fought this terrible disease. As a fellow anorexia sufferer, (years ago) I really empathised with her struggle, and was so sad to read that she had died.

NO..... Honestly, l am shocked.
I knew she had an eating disorder and her friends were worried about her, even wanting to pay for her treatment.

So young, so sad, so unnecessary... to die so young...

Yes, very sad and at such a young age too. I remember her tantrums on the odd occasion I saw
Big Brother, she seemed 'very troubled' at times. I haven't seen her again since that time though.
It seems there may be something of a curse on Big brother as other contestants on the show have also died:

Very entertaining in BB despite being bloody annoying. That's a shock though.

R.I.P. Nikki

Nikki is the 36th Big Brother contestant to have died since it started in 2000, this includes Celebrity BB and some foreign versions.

Seems BB has a lot to answer for in encouraging them.

That’s far too young to die.
