Nikki Grahame dead: Big Brother icon dies aged 38 after anorexia battle

Big Brother star Nikki Grahame has died at the age of 38 following a battle with anorexia.

Her death was confirmed on a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for the star, the Daily Star reports.

It read: "It is with great sadness, we have to let you know that our dear friend Nikki passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April.

"It breaks our hearts to know that someone who is so precious was taken from us at such a young age.

"Nikki not only touched the lives of millions of people, but also her friends and family who will miss her immensely.

"We would like to request privacy at this difficult time, while Nikki's friends and family process the sad news."

The tribute continued: "Full details will be released as and when we know them.

"All donations have been greatly appreciated and it was heartwarming for everyone including Nikki to see how much she was loved.


"Funds will be held safely in this GoFundMe until we have established an organisation supporting those suffering from anorexia to which we will make a donation in Nikki's memory. We will post updates for you with more details as soon as we have them.

"Rest In Peace, Nikki. We love you & not a day will go by without missing your smile. X"
