It terribly sad. She did try to get help, such a pity she couldn't get it in time.

takingmytimeonmyride · 10/04/2021 18:14

I had to google her, she's really battled with anorexia. So sad that it took her life in the end. Sad How devastating for her family and friends to see her suffer so much.

MagicSummer · 10/04/2021 18:15

Sorry, who is Nikki Grahame? Never heard of her.

OneForTheRoadThen · 10/04/2021 18:15

How terribly sad. The photos on her GoFundMe a few weeks ago made me cry. What an appalling illness anorexia is.

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 18:15

Oh that poor woman....
She was desperately ill with Anorexia.
It is a savage condition..Poor poor girl.

I am really sorry having known Anorexics and how compulsive it is.
It is like a dreadful addiction.

Rest in Peace, Nikki.

KarensChoppyBob · 10/04/2021 18:15

No
No no
Just no.

I knew she had that eating disorder but that's so shocking.

My heart goes out to her and her family ❤️

SpeckledyHen · 10/04/2021 18:15

RIP Nikki. Peace for you at last .

Confusedandshaken · 10/04/2021 18:16

@topcat2014

Reality TV has a lot to answer for
She had anorexia long before she went into the BB house. It started when she was a child.
AbsolutelyPatsy · 10/04/2021 18:16

i recognised her,
how terrible

Quaagars · 10/04/2021 18:16

Who is she?!

Who is she???

That's what I remember her for Smile
Back when I used to love watching Big Brother, as it just was normal, every day people before I stopped as it got overtaken by people vying to be the most controversial or whatever.

BusySittingDown · 10/04/2021 18:17

No! That's so sad, I loved her on Big Brother!

RIP Nikki Flowers.

Devlesko · 10/04/2021 18:17

I've never heard of her, but what a shame, poor lady.
May she RIP

KarensChoppyBob · 10/04/2021 18:18

@SimonJT

This also highlights how poorly those with eating disorders are treated, treatment is largely very poor quality and heavily rationed. No one should have to fund raise to pay for life saving medical care, especially when that illness has such a high fatality rate.
Totally agree.

Esp anorexia which is often dismissed.

TableFlowerss · 10/04/2021 18:18

That’s so sad, she was so young. Poor girl and poor family, they’ll be heartbroken

@MagicSummer

Sorry, who is Nikki Grahame? Never heard of her.
I never understand why people come onto these threads and ask these questions. Why not Google
ThorFull · 10/04/2021 18:19

I admit I did have to google the name. But I do remember Nikkie’s bubbliness and vulnerability from her time on Big Brother.
What a sad thing to happen, she must have struggled so much over the last year. RIP.

GreenChips · 10/04/2021 18:19

So sad. Sounds like lockdown just made her situation even more difficult. Real shame Sad

AbsolutelyPatsy · 10/04/2021 18:19

she was 38
now that is shocking

FlyingBurrito · 10/04/2021 18:19

@MotherPiglet

Who is she?!

Who is she???

Rip

That did make me smile although you probably need more !!!!
EverythingRuined · 10/04/2021 18:19

Is this actually confirmed? If not then it’s extremely distasteful to speculate.

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 18:20

Nikki was 'Famous' for those words.

Wonder if BB exacerbated her problem?

Nikki was clearly a vulnerable young woman back then.

Yes, it's on the go fund me page set up by her friends and family
Cindy87 · 10/04/2021 18:20

Heartbreaking - she was only 38. Such a cruel illness. So devastated for her family.

Howmercurialislife · 10/04/2021 18:20

38 and she had such a long battle. Some friends had set up a go fund me page for her recently for some more intensive treatment. Apparently lockdown and had really contributed to her illness getting much worse than it had ever been.
