April 14, 2010 Vote for Nikki Grahame to make an appearance on the last Big Brother
The SUN has a poll to see which Ex-HM you would like to see make an appearance on the last Big Brother. Its un-official but the poll seems to be attracting quite a bit of interest so why not vote for Nikki Grahame to go back into the house?
After all she is still the most popular Housemate in many polls, definitely the most entertaining, you never know the producers might take note and its a bit of fun.
"Everybody's favourite reality TV show, Big Brother, is gearing up for its last outing - and word has it some old faces might be coming back! Can this be the House of Past Winners that BB fans have been waiting for?"
September 9, 2010 Why you should vote for Nikki Grahame to win Ultimate Big Brother
Whenever you think of Big Brother you think of all the big characters who have entertained us over the years - the ones who've made us laugh, who've made us cry, and sometimes even the ones that made us want to hurl something at out TV screens. Who better personifies that than Nikki Grahame. Love her or hate her she has always been entertaining and will always be remembered as one of the people who made Big Brother the show it was.
Nikki will never be "the girl next door" - she'll always be a quirky, slightly eccentric character with a heart of gold. That's why so many people have been supporting her to win Ultimate Big Brother.
So if you want the title of Ultimate Big Brother housemate to go to someone who has been a big character in BB, and who has always watched and supported the show - then vote Nikki to win.
This time round we've seen a different Nikki - still very funny and entertaining, but a more mature Nikki. Nikki has always said that she is so grateful to Big Brother for helping her overcome a lot of her demons - and what a lot of demons she's had in her life!
Big Brother gave her a chance to make a new life for herself and, as a result of her media profile, she's been able to do a lot of work with organisations such as Beat, helping to raise the profile of anorexia sufferers, has raised money for anorexia charities and is now working with Body Gossip.
Nikki has always been lucky to have the support of her wonderful family and friends - as you can see in the clip below
But now she need YOUR support - to vote for Nikki to be crowned Ultimate Big Brother winner please ring 09011 323 028 - Calls cost 50p from landlines - that's less than a cup of coffee!
So please pick up the phone NOW
September 8, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother - Nikki Grahame news
Its been an eventful few days in the UBB house since the double eviction last Friday when Nikki was delighted to see Vanessa enter the house as a new housemate.
Sunday was nominations day and the HM's had to nominate while miming, gargling, drawing or rapping - as you can see from the picture, Nikki mimed an excellent imitation of Ulrika!
We've had some great tasks but we've also had some nice moments that didn't make the highlights - like Nikki having fun making up games to play with Vanessa, Victor and Preston - these included making a slide in the garden - BB soon put a stop to that though - spoilsport!!
We also heard Natalie Cassidy on BBLB giving her heartfelt support for Nikki.
So its eviction day again - and thank goodness Nikki isn't up - from tomorrow it'll be a vote to save - so don't forget to pick up the phone for Nikki.
September 7, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother - Nikki Grahame auditions for the dance crew Flawless
Today's task involved the housemates auditioning to become part of the dance crew Flawless.
Nikki drew on her gymnastics background for inspiration for her short but sweet routine - she did a cartwheel and backwards crab before deciding that was all she had to offer.
The group said after Nikki's performance: "Your personality is quite interesting. You have a very strong character. In terms of skill, I was very impressed - that was good! From the dancing aspect, I would have liked to have seen more and it's all to do with confidence.
We have come to our decision and ... it could be you". A coy Nikki smiled at her fellow housemates when she heard the news.
However, it was not to be and Vanessa Feltz was selected as lead dancer. It was great fun to watch and the group passed their task!
Nikki auditions and performs in Flawless dance routine.
September 7, 2010 Nikki Grahame and Vanessa Feltz talk in the Garden on UBB, a very moving conversation
Yesterday Nikki talked to Vanessa Feltz in the garden briefly about when she came out of BB7, Princess Nikki and how she was received. Then, opening up to Vanessa about her eating disorder, Nikki talked about when she re-entered society after suffering anorexia to start getting her life back in order. And how she was so strong and came through all of that and writing her book.
Nikki said about Big Brother: "for me by coming on big brother with millions of people watching my every move was such a positive thing for me to do. Because you know, it made me overcome so many things that I probably never would have overcome."
Nikki also explained that writing her book last year had dug up a lot of old habits. Then Nikki had a tearful moment when she said that when she woke up this morning she could no longer fit into her jeans. But, after a hug from Vanessa, she went on to say that anorexia does live with you for the rest of your life but that she can live a normal happy life and can overcome it. Vanessa also told Nikki about her struggle to lose weight and how horrible the tabloids have been to her putting on weight.
Towards the end Nikki tells Vanessa about her involvement with Body Gossip a group of actors performing real stories sent in by people about body images and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year.
Watch the video below of the conversation between Nikki and Vanessa. I found it really moving and I just wanted to give Nikki a hug. Thankfully Vanessa was there to give her a cuddle. It is a really moving conversation.
September 6, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother - the silent task
The Highlights show last night featured the task where HM's had to remain completely silent while doing various tasks while being annoyed and irritated by former HM Rex Newmark posing as the devil.
Nikki had to move fish from one bowl to another while her hands were encased in ice. As expected she got very annoyed and it was very funny to see her chasing Rex around the room, threatening him with a dead fish but. against all the odds, she passed and helped win the HM's a party
Nikki in the silent task, Rex is the devil, very funny
September 6, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother - Alan Carr had forgotten how funny Nikki was
On his chat show last night Alan Carr was interviewing Davina McCall and said that his favourite bit so far was Nikki being shocked in the diary - he said he's forgotten just how funny she is.
Nikki has, of course, appeared on Alan's show "The Friday Night Project" so he should have remembered!
This is why Nikki so deserved to be in the UBB house. She is very funny - often unintentionally - but always entertaining and its always uncontrived. She is the ultimate housemate.
September 5, 2010 Nikki Grahame is in the Ultimate Big Brother Final
The names of the nominated housemates for next Wednesday's eviction have now been announced and NIKKI IS SAFE.
She was delighted to know that she's into the final so - start saving your money - it'll be a vote to win next time. Nikki to win!!
As a reward for completing todays task "The Felz Show" housemates were given a cocktail party. At the end of the party housemates were gathered on the sofa and given a cocktail each with an olive that had a hidden message. The message revealed whether the housemate was nominated or not.
Nikki finding out she is in the final
Nikki was very happy and relieved that she was not up for eviction on Wednesday and is in the final. Up for eviction are Vanessa Feltz, Michelle Bass and Nick Bateman.
September 5, 2010 McFly supporting Nikki Grahame to win Ultimate Big Brother
McFly were on todays BBLB playing their new song and 3 of them said they were supporting Nikki to win UBB! Nikki will be delighted as she's a great fan of the band and has seen them several times in concert
Evicted HM Makosi was also on the programme and wants Nikki to win because she liked the fact that Nikki was just being "herself."
Last nights highlights programme showed Nikki's PA task, where she met up with Pete, watch he video below, see more video's of Nikki in the UBB house on the video page here
It was announced that housemates will be nominating today so fingers crossed Nikki won't be up.
September 4, 2010 Nikki Grahame's NOTW from the UBB house
"So far I have had an absolute ball. I'm actually still having to pinch myself that I'm back in here."
So says Nikki in her latest blog which she wrote as part of the PA task. Nikki was great - she started typing it until the typewriter ran out of ink and she had to finish it longhand - but she did it! Despite some minor criticisms from her "boss," Pete, about her pencil sharpening skills he hired her on the basis of her blog which he said was "magical" and she therefore passed her task.
You can read Nikki's thoughts on the past week, video clips of "snoring-gate," and the majorettes task, and see the original that Nikki typed and wrote in Nikki's latest insider blog here
"But on Tuesday we got my favourite task from BB7.. the majorette task. I got a bit upset at the start of the task because I wanted to be at the front but I soon got on with it and took the role of choreographer."
September 4, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother - Nikki Grahame survives eviction
What a night!
In the end a very nervous looking Nikki survived and Nadia and Makosi were evicted. Sadly, both evictees were booed but Nikki got a lot of cheers when her name was read out by Davina. In a surprise turn of events Vanessa Feltz entered the house as a new housemate. Vanessa is a good friend of Nikki's so Nikki was very pleased to see her.
Earlier in the day we saw Nikki's friend Carly supporting her on BBLB and in the highlights we saw Brian's dancing task where Nikki got to see, not only Sam and Amanda, but also Glyn. She was overjoyed to see him and gave him a huge hug. What with that, and seeing Pete in her PA task, she had a really good day.
Nikki is missing her BB7 housemates, and is pleased to see Glyn enter for a task
September 3, 2010 Ultimate Big Brother eviction night
Its eviction night and 2 people have to go.
Nikki's family and friends will be on BBLB tonight to give their support to her - but she needs everyone to help as well - so get voting to evict someone else from the UBB house!!
We were reminded today of what a great housemate Nikki is when she was asked to recreate her PA task from BB7. This time the "boss" was Pete Bennett and Nikki was delighted to see him again. One of her tasks was to write her blog for the NOTW so check back on Sunday to see what she had to say.
September 1, 2010 Keep Nikki Grahame in Ultimate Big Brother
It's now the end of Nikki's first full week in Ultimate Big Brother and what an eventful week it's been.
Nikki had the first shopping task - "Who Is She" where she had to guess who 5 former housemates were by touch - and then another out of a line-up. She won £650 for the shopping budget!
She also featured in another task where she had to interview the housemates for her NOTW blog - Nikki was great asking questions like a "proper" reporter and wasn't even fazed when John McCririck refused to answer! Despite a few tears of exasperation when she had to use a broken typewriter and was running out of time, Nikki did excellently and the resulting blog was great. As Makosi said in the DR - it was beginning to look like the Nikki show!
Nikki has also been excellent in the group tasks. In the "Big Head" task it was so funny to see her with her tiny frame holding up such a big head. The housemates had to guess when an hour was up before lifting the head and Nikki almost won with 56 mins, being beaten only by Preston with 1hour 1 min. She was also involved with the "Build a "Shed task when Craig from BB1 entered the house to see if he could build a shed faster than the HM's. Nikki did well - what is not shown on the highlights was that she was lifted up to put the last screw in the roof.
The latest task was a re-run of the BB7 majorettes task. Nikki loved this task first time round and has said in the past that it was her favourite task of all times. There was some confusion who should lead and who should choreograph but in the end she was chosen as the choreographer and put a lot of effort into the task, showing the others how it should be done. There was a very funny moment when Nikki was showing the others how to twirl the baton and hit herself on the nose!
Nikki has shown this week how much she has matured since BB7: a few tears and moans maybe but no major tantrums - just Nikki being Nikki and very entertaining. And this is what Ultimate Big Brother should be all about. The people who - love them or hate them - have entertained us the most in the house over the past 11 years.
So - please keep Nikki in the house. Don't be complacent - remember that votes to evict with multiple housemates can be a complete disaster with the most controversial and entertaining housemates evicted and the boring ones staying.
GET VOTING NOW - to evict one of the other housemates and KEEP NIKKI IN THE HOUSE.
August 29, 2010 Nikki Grahame's NOTW blog from INSIDE the BB house!!
"So here I am in the Big Brother house, feeling totally honoured and privileged just to be here" says Nikki.
For the first time ever a housemate is interviewing HM's and writing a blog from inside the house - Exciting!!
Nikki says that as she wasn't a series winner she "felt totally humble and a bit inadequate and totally excited almost like I don't deserve to be here,"
She soon settled in, however, and on Friday Big Brother gave her a notebook, pen and typewriter and sent her off to find some scoops about the people she's living with.
Sadly time ran out for Nikki in the task but she managed to talk to 6 housemates - Brian, Preston, Nadia, Chantelle and John.
See what everyone said to her in Nikki's blog, which includes a video clip from her interview with Nadia
August 28, 2010 Nikki Grahame - Writes for NOTW while in the UBB house
Yesterday Nikki while inside the Ultimate Big Brother house interviewed the housemates for her weekly blog for News of the World. The task will be screened on the highlights show tomorrow, and Nikki's blog will appear here on the NOTW website on sunday.
Nikki had 3 hours to interview the housemates and type her blog on an antique typewriter, probably to try and wind her up. Nikki completed the task and interviewed the majority of housemates to get the inside scoop.
Nikki wasn't expecting to write her column while she was inside the house thinking her last column was last sunday. Nikki made the most of it and wrote her column and handed it to Big Brother. Watch the video below to see Nikki interviewing Brian, Preston, Makosi, Nadia, Ulrika and Nick before battling with the typewriter given to her which Nikki said was worse then the typerwriter for the PA task in BB7.

August 26, 2010 Nikki Grahame - Ultimate Big Brother 'who is she' task.
Nikki has won the housemates £650 for this weeks shopping task. The task was designed around Nikki's famous diaryroom rant "Who is she".
For the first part of the task Nikki was blindfolded for the challenge, and with Preston guiding her, had to feel the faces of five female ex-housemates. Preston and the past contestants were not allowed to give her clues. Meanwhile, the other housemates watched the task on the TV screen in the living room.
Nikki incorrectly named Chanelle Haynes as the ex-hm in box 1, but later disputed that she didn't understand the directions fully that Big Brother gave her. Big brother later gave her a 2nd chance in which Nikki correctly guessed it to be Caroline O'Shea from the very first big brother.
For the 2nd box Nikki correctly guessed it to be Kathreya from Big Brother 9 over twins Sam and Amanda Marchant.
However, Nikki incorrectly guessed the third box, Kinga from Big Brother 6 over Amma from Big Brother 2.
The fourth box contained Grace Adams-Short in which Nikki instantly guessed it to be Grace. Nikki said: "It's Grace! Stay in the house, I need Big Brother 7 people here, I miss you all!" Her choices were Grace, Carole from Big Brother 8 and Michelle Bass. Nikki joked: "The boobs steered me off Michelle."
The final box contained Anna Nolan, the runner-up of series one. Nikki's choices were Anna, Helen Adams from Big Brother 2 and Big Brother 3 winner Kate Lawler. Nikki incorrectly guessed Kate, saying: "I know it's not Anna." Anna cheekily whispered: "Hi, Nikki." Nikki asked: "who was whispering", Anna joked: "I can't tell you, but you got it wrong." Nikki said: "Oh no, it's Anna."
For the first part of the task Nikki won the housemates £150 towards this weeks shopping task. See video below.
Part 1 Nikki correctly identifies 3 out of 5 housemates (16m 29s)
For the 2nd part of the shopping task £500 was up for grabs. Nikki was given the task of picking the correct housemate from a lineup, all of whom said that they were Lisa Jeynes from Big Brother 4.
Straight away, Nikki announced that the first lady in the lineup was the correct Lisa, as they each repeated her famous phrase: "Hi, I'm Lisa Jeynes, and I can kill you with these two fingers."
Big Brother later announced that Nikki had won £650 for the next shopping budget. See video below.
Nikki instantly picks that the first lady in the lineup is Lisa Jeynes from BB4 (6m 01s)
September 1, 2010 Nikki in Closer Magazine this week
This week in Closer magazine is a moving story by Sue Grahame, Nikki's mum. Sue reveals that she would carry a child for Nikki who, because anorexia has made her infertile, can't fall pregnant.
Sue Grahame: "I have told Nikki that I would have a baby for her, Nikki would love to have a baby, she is surrounded by them at the moment. Her sister Natalie had a baby boy called Sunny five weeks ago. Her friend Danielle Lloyd has had one and now her friend Natalie Cassidy is about to give birth. Nikki dotes on her nephew and cant walk past a shop without stopping to buy baby clothes"
It really IS a nice story.
In OK! magazine - Housemates Secrets OK! have used their picture of Nikki recreating the role of Kathy Bates in "Misery" for a feature about the UBB housemates, describing her as their "absolute favourite housemate" and there is another picture of Nikki in Ultimate Big Brother in their TV Guide, "The Perfect Night In".
Star magazine Star are running a feature: This years ultimate housemates have one thing in common - they have all struggled with body issues.
August 18, 2010 Nikki's Hotstars Column in OK! Magazine - issue 739
Nikki's column is back and this week she talks about Cheryl's friend, Kerry Katona and Abbey Clancey's dilemma.
MY DIARY Hi everyone! I've been on top of the world as my sister Natalie gave birth to a baby boy recently - Sunny. He's growing really fast and is absolutely gorgeous! It was also my best friend Carly's birthday last weekend, so I'd like to send "Happy Birthday" wishes to her! I went to the Big Chill festival where I met Thom Yorke from Radiohead - it was magical, and I'm still smiling about it now. I've been to Natalie Cassidy's baby shower in London and am looking forward to watching The Kooks at V Festival.
CHERYL HAS A GOOD FRIEND IN DEREK I'm really glad Cheryl Cole is feeling much better now. As for her relationship with Derek Hough, I think he's more of a companion than a boyfriend. That's how it looks, anyway. I think that's what she needs right now - a close friend, rather than a serious relationship. She's probably still getting over Ashley. I hope she's been having a good time in America, and managed to get some relaxation time.
BIG BROTHER'S STILL BRILLIANT I don't want this series of Big Brother to end! I think it was a great idea to add Sam Pepper to the house, he was just what it needed. I am completely over the John James and Josie show now, though. I can't wait to see who will be going into the Ultimate Big Brother house. It's going to be the perfect way for the show to go out with a bang!
KERRY WONT GO BACK TO MARK Kerry Katona may have split up from Adam Waldron, but there's no way she'll get back with Mark Croft. She's looking really good at the moment, much better than when she was with him. Mark is said to be planning to write a book about his time with Kerry, so he'd definitely be putting an end to any reconciliation if he did that. I don't think Kerry should rush into another relationship and should just enjoy being single for a while.
WHAT WAS PETE THINKING? It's such a shame that Peter Crouch is said to have cheated on Abbey Clancey - what was he thinking? She's so beautiful, he should think himself lucky to have got a girlfriend like that. Abbey will need some time to calm down and come to terms with what's happened. It must be a horrible feeling when your life is examined so publicly and I wish her all the best.
I'M LOVING... Rodeo King. I went to a party where they had a rodeo bull, and it was so much fun! Although its not a good idea if you've had a few drinks! Visit www.rodeoking.biz
August 13, 2010 Nikki pictured doing a bit of Karaoke in NOW magazine this week
NOW magazine caught up with Nikki doing a bit of Karaoke at the Sticky Rib Pot Noodle Launch Party at Soho Arts Club, London 4th August.
July 28, 2010 Nikki in OK! and Heat magazine this week.
There is no Hotstars magazine in OK! this week so Nikki doesn't have her column in. But there is an article on her showcase she hosted at her Birthday Party way back in May.
Nikki sporting a blue polka dot number was the life and soul of the party with guests being treated to candy floss and popcorn!
In Heat Magazine this week - "BB Stars Finally Find Calling", the article was about former BB stars staffing Nandos. When Nikki Grahame, Brian Belo, Alex Sibly, Charley Uchea and Stuart Hoskins were among former housemates who turned out to raise money for Barnados.
July 13, 2010 Nikki Grahame's HotStars column in OK! magazine - issue 734
HOTSTARS IS BACK!!!
This week Nikki talks about Cheryl's illness, Jordan's wedding and Lindsay's sentence.
MY DIARY Hey everyone! I'm so glad to be back with my column and have missed you all. I hope you've been enjoying the sunshine! I've been busy as usual - last week I was on Ireland AM talking about my book, Dying To Be Thin, and I took part in some filming for body-image campaign Body Gossip. This week I enjoyed a picnic in London with some friends and also did some filming with Zig and Zag for Big Brother's Little Brother. But the best news is my sister Natalie is about to have a baby son any day - I can't wait to be an aunty!
GET WELL SOON CHERYL I couldn't believe it when I heard Cheryl Cole had caught malaria - that must be so scary. She is said to have been working 18-hour days up to that point, so I hope when she has recovered she will take it easy and look after herself properly. If someone has to stand in for her on X Factor, I think her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding would be a good choice. I'm wishing Cheryl a speedy recovery.
BIG BROTHER IS STILL BRILLIANT I'm loving the final series and particularly Ben - he's my favourite to win. He always says the wrong thing and everyone else is horrible to him but I just feel sorry for him and want to make friends! I love the relationship between John James and Josie, too, although I can't really see them as a couple. I've been told recent house walker Shabby thinks I'm hot and would like to meet me - bring it on, I say!
CONGRATULATIONS JORDAN AND ALEX! Jordan and Alex have celebrated their wedding blessing and I hope they can move on from the commotion of the paparazzi allegedly brawling with guests - and enjoy their honeymoon.
DANNY IS GOOD FOR TROUBLED LINDSAY I'm gutted Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in Jail due to breaking her probation. I think she deserved a fresh start. She must be totally devastated - especially as I've read that she's recently been enjoying the company of rugby player Danny Cipriani - he's hot! Maybe when she is released from jail she can settle down with someone like clean-cut Danny and put the dark days behind her.
I'M LOVING... I recently went to a party where they provided candy floss for all the guests - it was great and just like being a kid again! Visit their website for more information - www.mrflossy.co.uk

June 9, 2010 Nikki Grahame in Heat Magazine this week - BB couples
This week Heat magazine is all about couples, it's always been about the couples. Nikki & Pete feature as the couple from BB7.
From Nikki and Pete's interview:
"Then: He had Tourette's. She had Tantrums. Separated after Nikki's shock eviction Pete's face was priceless when she re-entered the house..."
Nikki, your tantrums were infamous, why did you only listen to Pete? Nikki: "Because I loved him""
Was it hard when Nikki got evicted Pete? Pete: "Yeah." Nikki: "I remember when Davina was calling out my name, Pete was grabbing my arm." Pete: "It was a shock because I was closest to Nikki." Nikki: "I thought you were closest to Lea. I was like, why does he open up to Lea? I understand better!
Did you miss her? Pete: "Yeah I missed her constant singing.
Nikki: (laughs) I have serious expressions when I sing and you use to laugh at me." Pete: "Yeah I missed that."
Nikki what was it like when you went back in? Nikki: "He picked me up, spun me around then kissed me on the lips, I was so happy."
Were you ever worried it was just a holiday romance? Pete: "It was really exciting, but I was scared as well, especially when we got the best kiss award and you went mad and cried in the diary room." Nikki: "Why?" Pete: "Because you didn't get an award for yourself!" Nikki: "I was so different back then. I'm happy with my life right now and I know your married, Pete, but no one broke my heart like you did."
Do either of you have regrets? Nikki: "I've got no regrets at all." Pete: I think it could've ended nicer but, no, I have no regrets."
Most people loved BB7 because of your relationship... Pete: "We kind of killed Big Brother..." Nikki: "It was never as good after that!"
May 26, 2010 Nikki Grahame in NEW magazine
Nikki is also in NEW magazine this week as part of a glitzy glamorous photoshoot to mark the last ever Big Brother which is around the corner. NEW gathered 10 of their favourite stars over the last 10 years and have added a tribute to Jade Goody with her portrait in the background.
In Nikki's interview:
You've had weight issues. How are you now? I know I'm too thin at the moment and I'm trying to put some weight on. But it's all in check. I have quite a healthy diet - I eat three meals a day and things in between to keep going. But I need a lot of food if I'm going to put on weight. I'm not putting on much, but I know I should.
Do you have any regrets about doing BB? Not at all. It's the best thing I ever did. I could never have bought my flat. It's really changed me and my family's life.
How did you feel about Pete getting married? It was a bit of a shock. But Pete and I weren't meant to be. It was magical when we were in the house but I'm happy I got away from him.
Did you watch his wedding on the show Four Weddings? No, but only because I don't have Living. I'm sure I'll see it at some point.
How's your love life been recently? I'm seeing a musician, Sam James, from a band called Rogues. I was a bit of a groupie! It got serious last October and he moved in with me in February. It's going OK.
What's next for you? I really want to get into radio. My boyfriend bought me some decks, so I'm learning how to DJ!
Are you happy right now? When the sun shines!
May 26, 2010 Nikki in NOW magazine - BB BAD Girls Go Gaga
Nikki is in NOW magazine this week along with some of our favourite females over the past 10 years together. The girls are transformed into Lady Gagas and Beyoncés in an over-the-top photo shoot inspired by the duo's infamous Telephone video.
In the lineup are Nikki Grahame, Michelle Bass, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Kinga Karolczak, Grace Adams-Short, Charley Uchea, Nadia Almada and Sophie Reade. Each of the girls were interviewed for the magazine.
In Nikki's interview when asked Do you ever cringe at how you behaved in the house? She laughs "Oh God, I don't regret anything I had the time of my life".
From the now interview:
Nikki, it's 4 years on and you're still going strong... Yes, it's great. It's really cold in here though. Why's it so cold?
You haven't changed a bit! I have, actually. Big Brother made me wise and helped me appreciate things. It's also bought me a flat - although it's only in Northwood.
So you no longer have your famous strops? (Pauses) Sometimes.
Ha! What's the downside of fame? I can't go out and get a regular job. I'd get so much grief. I'd like to do floristry.
So what keeps you busy right now? DJ-ing. My boyfriend Sam bought me some decks for my birthday, so I play indie music.
How long have you two been together? It kind of got serious around October. We're all loved-up, I guess.
Are you over Pete, then? He's married now... He is. It's weird. But yeah, I'm happy for them... I guess.
Do you get on OK with Aisleyne these days? We don't hang out but she's always really nice to me when I see her.
The SUN has a poll to see which Ex-HM you would like to see make an appearance on the last Big Brother. Its un-official but the poll seems to be attracting quite a bit of interest so why not vote for Nikki Grahame to go back into the house?
Whenever you think of Big Brother you think of all the big characters who have entertained us over the years - the ones who've made us laugh, who've made us cry, and sometimes even the ones that made us want to hurl something at out TV screens. Who better personifies that than Nikki Grahame. Love her or hate her she has always been entertaining and will always be remembered as one of the people who made Big Brother the show it was.
Its been an eventful few days in the UBB house since the double eviction last Friday when Nikki was delighted to see Vanessa enter the house as a new housemate.
Today's task involved the housemates auditioning to become part of the dance crew Flawless.
Yesterday Nikki talked to Vanessa Feltz in the garden briefly about when she came out of BB7, Princess Nikki and how she was received. Then, opening up to Vanessa about her eating disorder, Nikki talked about when she re-entered society after suffering anorexia to start getting her life back in order. And how she was so strong and came through all of that and writing her book.
The Highlights show last night featured the task where HM's had to remain completely silent while doing various tasks while being annoyed and irritated by former HM Rex Newmark posing as the devil.
On his chat show last night Alan Carr was interviewing Davina McCall and said that his favourite bit so far was Nikki being shocked in the diary - he said he's forgotten just how funny she is.
The names of the nominated housemates for next Wednesday's eviction have now been announced and NIKKI IS SAFE.
McFly were on todays BBLB playing their new song and 3 of them said they were supporting Nikki to win UBB! Nikki will be delighted as she's a great fan of the band and has seen them several times in concert
"So far I have had an absolute ball. I'm actually still having to pinch myself that I'm back in here."
What a night!
Its eviction night and 2 people have to go.
It's now the end of Nikki's first full week in Ultimate Big Brother and what an eventful week it's been.
"So here I am in the Big Brother house, feeling totally honoured and privileged just to be here" says Nikki.
Yesterday Nikki while inside the Ultimate Big Brother house interviewed the housemates for her weekly blog for News of the World. The task will be screened on the highlights show tomorrow, and 
Nikki has won the housemates £650 for this weeks shopping task. The task was designed around Nikki's famous diaryroom rant "Who is she".
This week in Closer magazine is a moving story by Sue Grahame, Nikki's mum. Sue reveals that she would carry a child for Nikki who, because anorexia has made her infertile, can't fall pregnant.
Nikki's column is back and this week she talks about Cheryl's friend, Kerry Katona and Abbey Clancey's dilemma.
There is no Hotstars magazine in OK! this week so Nikki doesn't have her column in. But there is an article on her showcase she hosted at her Birthday Party way back in May.
