Nikki Grahame’s mum has opened up about the impact Big Brother had on the late reality star while speaking in a new Channel 4 documentary, saying that she believes the show helped to ‘save her daughter’s life’. In April last year, it was announced that Grahame had died at the age of 38 after suffering from anorexia throughout her life. Her friends had organised a fundraising page online to help raise money for the widely-loved TV personality to receive treatment at a specialist facility for anorexia, with donations reaching tens of thousands of pounds prior to her death.
A year later, Channel 4 is releasing a new documentary about Grahame’s life, titled Nikki Grahame: Who Is She?, which takes its name from one of her most iconic quotes from inside the Big Brother house,The programme features interviews with individuals including her mum, Sue Grahame, and close friend, Carly Cunningham, who she first became friends with in her early teens when they were both receiving treatment in the same facility. At one point the film took a look back at the moment during the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006 when Grahame was evicted from the house, capturing how she was unable to contain her nerves as she prepared to face the masses outside. As the doors opened, she burst into tears as the crowds screamed and chanted her name, with presenter Davina McCall going to fetch her to bring her down the steps.
Recalling Grahame’s time on the reality show, Cunningham said: ‘I don’t feel like she felt very accepted by people ever in her life. And she finally felt, “I’m accepted. And this is for me and not my illness.
