‘Princess Nikki is on the mend

BIG BROTHER babe Nikki Grahame is well and truly over Pete – and has nabbed herself a new fella to prove it.

The tantrum queen has hooked up with her non-celeb personal trainer Matt Drew.

Matt told Reveal magazine: “Yes, I am seeing Nikki. It’s early days but we are having a fantastic time together. I think she’s a fantastic girl.�

Nikki met Matt before going into the Big Brother house when she used to go for work-outs at his Ruislip gym.

The pair were spotted recently with their hands all over each other at London’s trendy Pangaea nightclub.’

Or maybe there is a plan – and its working.

Young heroes hailed

Britain’s most inspirational children have been honoured at a star-studded ceremony in London.

Celebrities including Big Brother’s Nikki Grahame were on hand to present the Closer Young Heroes Awards.

Nikki awarded Lauren Price, 11, with the Transformation Award for having to endure so many operations after being born with Goldenhar syndrome.

Wayne Rooney’s other half, Coleen McLoughlin presented 11- year-old Danielle Ingham from Hartlepool with Carer of the Year for looking after her disabled sister.

And Lemar stepped in to honour Amy Fulton, ten, who cares for her wheelchair-bound mother Tracey who has terminal breast cancer.

AND SCOTT MILLS – TWO FACED OR WHAT!!

Thank god she stuck to her guns.

I have not bought the Sun or DS for ages now and that is my stand. Maybe sales have dropped because we are all thinking the same.

But if I hear once more about Nikki having a tantrum I shall just scream. But we all know that if she says no a few times that is classed as a tantrum. She is worth more than that and even if she does get stroppy so what it hardly a crime.

But like you said she is gaining more fans daily because of this so indirectly she is coming out on top.

Did you hear the old man in the salon telling Nikki that he has been following her story, that she always looks pretty in the papers and well done by taking England by storm. Who would have thought a tiny, blond, insecure girl could create such fascination.

I wonder what Pete really thinks about this?? Just a thought.

The only one who held my interest in BB was Nikki and more and more as the weeks wore on everyone else just seemed like a bit part player to her major role

I think Nikki’s something of a puzzle to lots of people including some journalists but I’m sure circulation goes up whenever there’s a story about her so they make sure she’s never out of the news. The newspapers capture two audiences with their headlines – those that like her so we can be indignant and those that don’t because they’re able to think Nikki’s at it again.

It’s all publicity for Nikki and fodder for us so hopefully one day we’ll be reading something positive about Nikki but just how long we’ll have to wait for that I don’t know. Evelyn’s doing a good job and who knows who reads and digests what we all write on here??

But I must admit the more negative exposure she get the more people will respect her for holding her head up and keeping her dignity. She really is trying to control her feelings.

There are many fence sitters, people who really dont have opinions about other people, but when they see someone, who does not deserve it, constantly get ridiculed in the press they then become interested and then make an opinion and often support that person wholeheartedly. That is what I have become.

Its amazing that I was never a fan of her at the beginning but when the kept on talking about Pete and Lisa as an item I thought, even from the first few days, that Pete liked Nikki. I could just tell.

She gradually grew on me when I could see her vulnerable side and her incredible honestly. Since the breakup and the way she has handled it with such maturity I am now a huge fan and I have never been a fan of anyone before, well not to the point of joining any forum and voicing my strong opinion. I sometimes think I am mad as this is completely out of my character. If my mum knew she would have me put in the funny farm. (She hates BB).
