Such sad news. Does anyone else remember when she had her own show on e4? She was trialling out different jobs, think there was one in a fish shop. It was on YouTube for a while but can’t find the clips anymore. She was hilarious.
Heartbreaking for her family and friends💔

All time favourite BB housemate. The best thing about Nikki was how honest and open she was about having anorexia. So devastating that she couldn’t be saved.

oh my word.... ☹
I struggle with an eating disorder also, I haven’t beaten it but I’m better than I was. News like this does suddenly make the consequences so real.
I hope she is at peace...

I am so, so sad to hear this. The last time I saw her she looked so ill. She was legendary on that BB series. I had a real soft spot for her; my office colleagues used to call me Nikki as we looked very similar hair and stature-wise, I had the same Zara top she wore in the house and I was always moaning about being freezing at work with the air con 😩 I also shared her anorexia struggles so this has really struck a sad chord with me today. I was really hoping she had conquered it. RIP, Nikki, what a character you were. Xxx

Really sad, she was desperately ill. The photos her friends posted on the go fund me was heartbreaking. Anorexia is a cruel illness.

It’s such a cruel illness isn’t it?! I hope you continue to get better - it’s such a struggle!
I don’t think she should have ever been allowed on Big Brother as she was clearly very unwell even back then. The fame won’t have done her any good :-(

This is too close to home for me. I’ve struggled with eating disorders on and off for years. R.I.P Nikki - the best Big Brother contestant. X

RIP Nikki. She always reminds me of my sister. As was looking after my sister who was dying when BB came on with Nikki and we watched it together.


I heard her mum say the other week this started up again due to not being able to go to the gym, she was too scared to eat without being able to do her normal exercise routine

Ah man, that’s so sad. I was literally quoting her earlier saying ‘Who is she?!’
She was a Big Brother legend. RIP.
