This has made me so sad, she was so funny on Big Brother. A few weeks ago her friends started a fund to pay for her anorexia treatment, the photo on it was shocking, she was really unwell, it’s gutting that she suffered with this condition her whole life. Flowers

@EverythingRuined

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

It's on all the news sites

Yes @EverythingRuined her family confirmed it.

Instead of people coming on the thread asking who she is, just Google it. 🤷‍♀️

Extremely tragic news. Her family and friends will be completely devastated.

I’ll never forget that year she was in Big Brother, she made that summer one of the funniest in a long time. YouTube clips of her still make me howl with laughter even now. Who IS she?!!!

If you come across a group of people discussing their sadness at the death of somebody, and a 38 year old at that, it's not nice to say you don't even know who she is. Just quietly go and Google it.

Yes it is confirmed. Maybe grant us enough intelligence?

@topcat2014

Reality TV has a lot to answer for

Why? That was part of her adult life. She had mental health issues and developed anorexia as a child.
Surely her decision to become involved in reality TV wasn’t forced upon her, so I can’t see how that can be blamed.

It is confirmed, yes.

Very sad. So young and a life made so complicated by mental health issues. I hope wherever she is, she is at peace.

As for the ‘I don’t know who that is’ type posts. FGS, why? Just click off the thread if you don’t know or care.

Oh no, that is so sad.

Poor woman, so many people's mental health has been affected by lockdown. Its so scary

She was way too young to die, its just tragic.

RIP Nikki Flowers

I just watched an interview she did in 2010. Incredibly sad listening to her talk about her illness but sounding so in control at the time reflecting on how she had wanted to be like Karen Carpenter Very sad. Her poor mum 💔

This was an iconic moment for BB.

She was really lovely, I feel very sad that she couldn’t get the help she needed and get better. RIP Flowers

Oh, poor soul. She was so very ill, it was inevitable that she would die young but very sad for her mother and family.

She was a real character!
