Nikki mourns end of Big Brother

10:22am Monday 21st August 2006

NIKKI GRAHAME of Eastcote was evicted from the Big Brother house in the final of the current series on Friday.

She came fifth in the Channel 4 competition, and was booed as she left the house.

Nikki, 24, who became known on the show for her temper tantrums, could not bring herself to speak when presenter Davina McCall tried to interview her.

She had already been voted out by viewers earlier in the series, but the producers caused controversy when they allowed her back in.

A former pupil of Northwood School and employee of Harrod's, Nikki had made it clear that she saw the show as her chance to be famous.

According to the Big Brother website, her ambition is to be rich and marry a footballer.

She arrived at the Bog Brother house dressed in a pink bunny outfit that her mother, Sue, a local postwoman, describes as "very Nikki".

The night before the final, she said: "The real reason I'm morbidly depressed is because Big Brother is finishing tomorrow. I can't bear it."

She then pleaded with C4 to extend the programme by a week.

Later she added: "I know I'm incompetent and unreliable and probably don't have much purpose here on Earth, but I know what's going on and I remember everything."
