It turns out that Ziggy was once friends with Big brother 7’s resident drama queeen, Nikki Grahame.

She told The Sun: “I’ve known him since he was 16 and I think he needs to be brought down a peg or two.

“I went to college with him to do performing arts but he left to go and do Northern Line but when that finished he started working on the doors at all the London clubs.

“I would see him in my Chinawhite days and he would make me stand in the queue! And I went to college with him!

“I thought, ‘you arrogant pig. How dare you’.

“I would love it if they got a REALLY fit guy in there. Like a Premiership footballer or someone just MUCH better looking than him. ”

Nikki Grahame went all coy this week when asked if she would be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house this week.

Nikki told More magazine: “If they let me back in, I’ll barricade myself so they can’t get me back out again.”

I hope to God they don’t put her back. To watch her for one series was hell, when she was readmitted in August was torture, to let her in for a third time would be downright cruel!

My admiration for Nikki has grown so much since watching Celebrity Scissorshands in the early hours of the morning on BBC1. (It is being repeated Thursday, rather Friday at 2405, not to be missed)

A tanned Nikki arrived all smiles and friendliness, looking wonderful after her holiday in Dubai, anticipating her much needed massage, to rid her of the stress of travelling. She greeted all with a big smile and friendly chatter.

Whisked off for her stone massage by Darren Day, who was absolutely wonderful, kind and gentle, where the two seemed to get on very well as they chatted away through the massage, intercepted by giggles from Nikki. The SHOCK was still to come as she moved on for her manicure. A very mean Steve delighted in antagonising Nikki, making fun of her in the training room and telling her he was going to give CUT her beautiful long hair.

Nikki was horrified and begged him not to touch her hair. These novice ‘stylists’, having had less than two weeks of training, slip into the training room, throughout the lengthy cuttings, for advice on how to go from stage to stage through the styling. Darren, in the training room, asked how anybody could possibly want to come to them for a hair cut.

Back to Nikki we found Steve and Lee Stafford, with a ‘trust me’, putting heavy pressure on Nikki to have her hair cut. ‘Nikki this is for the Children in need’, ’don’t be a wimp’ (more politely put by me), brandishing scissors, sneaking up behind her and waving a long length of hair, supposedly cut off her head while she was unaware. Enough to send anyone into hysterics but Nikki just put her face in her hands, peeped out with pleading and despairing eyes, trailed off to have her hair shampooed by Darren and shed a few tears, begging Steve to just go home and leave her alone.

She was assured by Lee that he would not let her go home unhappy but she whimpered ‘I am already unhappy’. Sweet Darren told Nikki not to upset herself, very gently and she replied ‘I am already upset.’ The bullying came to an end when Steve, after Nikki told him she liked him and loved the A team, admitted it was all a wind up.

Why is everyone so cruel to Nikki, deliberately winding her up and then, if she does have a tantrum, they are over the moon because they have something to winge about. Leave our Nikki alone!! Her one liners and facial expressions were brilliant. The massage should have been kept for after the ordeal. Darren was lovely and I hope he becomes one of the 5 stylists chosen for the styling of the celebrities’ hair on ‘Children in Need’ night.

The team at BBC’s Celebrity Scissorhands played a cruel joke on Big Brother star Nikki Grahame this week and nearly reduced her to tears.

Nikki agreed to take part on the show, which is in aid of this years Children In Need, under the impression that she would be receiving a massage from Darren Day.

Imagine her face when she found out that she was also being given a haircut by Steve Strange, it wasn’t pretty!

Thankfully the crew did eventually tell her that it was a wind up, but not before she cried “Oh no! Please! I don’t want anyone doing my hair!� she cried. “I’d rather have an operation! I’d rather bathe in poo!�

To be fair to Nikki, I wouldn’t let any of those eejits loose on my hair either. I actually filled in an application for the show but specifically stated that I would NOT volunteer for a new haircut.

I know the eighties are all back at the minute, but i don’t fancy a rock style mullet thank you very much!

BIG Brother contestant NIKKI GRAHAME threw one of her famous temper tantrums at Heathrow airport on Friday.

The whining blonde, who won Best Reality contestant at the NTAs last week, was unamused when she was refused entry to BA’s VIP lounge.

A source said: “It was priceless watching her cry and stamp her feet. But the staff were professionals. They are used to blaggers.

“Nikki disappeared whining about how she won an award and still wasn’t important enough.�

Pete Bennett has sensationally revealed to The Daily Star that some of his relationship with fellow Big Brother contestant, Nikki Grahame, was a stunt for publicity purposes.

After reading stories about his rumoured break up with new girlfriend Gemma and the revival of his and Nikkis relationship, Pete fumed:

“I’m fed up with being linked back to Nikki. We wouldn’t have met if it wasn’t for Big Brother, and now I want to move on with my life and forget all about it.

“I really fell for Nikki in the house. I needed her there and I was seriously upset when she was taken out. I had real feelings for her and we had something when I came out.

“But then I introduced her to my friends and she was horrific. A few drinks and she really insulted them. It was so awful. I knew then I had to finish it.

“We only carried on for the publicity. We had no relationship at all after that.

“The last thing me and Gemma need now is the papers saying me and Nikki are meeting up again. There’s no way I ever want to see that woman again. Perhaps we can be friends again in the future, but not now.

“I really love Gemma, she’s my woman. I want to be with her and I don’t want anything or anyone coming between us.�

For Nikki’s final show (ever?), she had a special treat. According to Nikki, they were ‘big, butch and dikey’ To the rest of us, they were the Harlequins Women’s rugby team. And some of them seemed decidely unimpressed with Nikki.

As she sauntered out of the changing room, she looked nothing more than a little girl dressed up in her daddy’s clothes. However, images can be deceptive, and Nikki got off to a good start. She was hoisted for lineouts, and even tried her hand at tackling, but inevitably, something would get the better of her - and it just happened to be a bit of damp grass. From here, it was all downhill.

The coach had the wrong idea when it came to encouraging Nikki to Run the Gauntlet: he should have had her imagining that it was a crowd of paparazzi, clamouring for a photograph. Lets face it, thats the closest she’s likely to get to them from now on. And was it just me, or did the ladies seem to enjoy the prospect of dunking Nikki into a bin of icy cold water? Perhaps the crew put them wise to the dikey comment.

At least the water was clean, which is more than can be said for anything in the House of Horror where Nikki was despatched next. Extreme Cleaning is one thing - but cockroaches in just one drawer? A rotting, maggotty fish in another? I may be a tad cynical, but something was stinking, and it wasn’t just the foodstuff. ‘I’m not doing it’ she declared, and crisis talks with her father were swiftly arranged.

‘Dad would you do it?’ she asked. No, came back the reply.

‘Would you do it for a tv show you were being paid to do?’

Unfortunately for Nikki, the answer was yes.

After shrieking and crying her way through the kitchen drawers, an upsurge of sewage was to be Nikki’s final challenge. After weeks of training in all matters plop related, and despite looking like a reject from BioWars III, it was all too much for her. And so, the series limped to an end.

I doubt we’ll see a return, and fervently hope its the last we see of the Princess. Perhaps she’ll snag a desperate footballer, and turn into a WAG.

Lets leave the last word to Nikki: ‘I thought, when I got this seriesm that I would get nice jobs that would help me learn how to do a working day… … but its been ghastly’

Can’t argue with that.

It seems as if the producers have finally heeded our prayers, and this week’s episode was a mostly faeces free experience.

I would have loved to have done the Nikki Challenge this time round as she was whisked off to the beautiful Lake District, and indoctrinated as a member of the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team. Nikki seemed to spend most of her time either tantruming with a tortured expression on her face, or with a manic gleefulness: I’m not quite sure which was the scarier!

First up - how to get in a boat, Nikki Style. Scream. Shout. Wail. Moan. Beg to be carried. How to get out of a boat, Nikki Style. Scream. Shout. Wail. Moan. Beg to be carried. If it hadn’t been for the moments of enjoyment whilst she was actually in the boat, when she stopped screaming, shouting, wailing and moaning, I think she would have been dumped wholesale into the depths of the lake. However, the Rescue Team would brook no patheticness, and Nikki was manhandled, cajoled and dragged up the mountain. ‘I need rescuing now’ she whinged - no, its this show that needs to be rescued.

When she forgot about herself, she did quite a good job. Reassuring the unfortunate Anna with her simulated broken leg, and even setting off carrying the stretcher, Nikki threw herself into it with what was almost a smile. It didn’t last long though, and soon she was kicking off once more. Thankfully no one was actually depending on her to give a rapid response, as the only rapid response she can manage is to throw a hissy fit.

Onto abseiling. With abseiling, its the thought of it which is much scarier than the actual deed. Standing at the top of what feels like a mile high precipice, it is frightening, but, as Nikki found after several screamingly terrifying tantrums, once you’re making your way down the cliff face it’s great fun. ‘I might consider this as my career’ she decided. The rescue team looked like they might have a tantrum of their own at the thought.

Nikki’s love affair with the Great Outdoors was not to last into her second day in the countryside. To be fair, the ’survival instructor’ came across like a complete numpty, and I’d have probably shoved the dead and rotting mouse up his behind if he’d tried that with me. Nikki finally managed to start a fire, and bouyed up with great enthusiasm for the whole event (ok, I’m lying) dug a couple of spadefuls of earth out of her latrine. ‘Whats a latrine?’ she enquired. On being told, she declared ‘I’d rather die…’ ‘That sounds good’ responded Chris the Survivalist.

This led to a discussion on the finer arts of bumwiping. Nikki seemed a tad bewildered by the thought of using a dockleaf. I guess she had thoughts of dockleaves when she turned down the lovingly brewed cup of ‘mint’ tea.

Finally, we had a Nikki Lesson on how to Catch a Fish. Stand with a stick in your hand, gazing for inspiration at the sky. Think about the fish miraculously leaping onto the pointy end all by itself. ‘I’m so braindead’ she moaned.

Quite.

Pete Bennett has revealed to the Daily Star today how guilty he feels over his recent break up with fellow Big Brother star Nikki Grahame.

Pete reportedly said: “I’m really sorry if I hurt Nikki. It upsets me to think everyone thinks badly of me over this. I ended it because I didn’t want to hurt her more. I was just being honest.

“Nikki and I just aren’t compatible. I do love her to bits but I don’t think it could ever work.

“This is all spiralling out of control. I should have kept my mouth shut about our sex life. Everything got on top of me and the added problems with our relationship were stressing me out.

“I felt sick the night it ended and I was very emotional. It wasn’t an easy thing to do.

“I’m not a coward and I wouldn’t have ended our relationship over the phone by choice, but Nikki called and pretty much asked what was up.

“I’d like to stay friends. I haven’t heard from her, but I hope things can get better.�

Members of the public were stunned this week to see Big brother ex housemate Nikki Grahame acting like a spoilt brat and throwing a tantrum over an ice cream cone.

According to the Star, Nikki was storming around Stafford Services on the M6 demanding that her chauffeur find her a strawberry cornetto.

Chantelle Lambert said of Nikki: “It was worse behaviour then a three year old child. I was really disappointed because she was so rude. I thought she’d be really bubbly and friendly.�
