Big Brother UK star Nikki Grahame died on 9 April, at the age of 39 due to a long battle with anorexia. After her eating disorder had worsened in lockdown, Grahame's friends started a fundraiser to get her life saving care, but Grahame sadly died before she was able to receive it. Grahame's friends Carly Cunningham and Leon Dee shared the news of her death on the GoFundMe fundraiser page: "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."
