Lovely interview with Nikki, she talks about UBB and how its helped her Anorexia, and also mentions Sue and Nat offering to be surrogates for her.

Nikki Interview Page One

Nikki Interview Page Two

Nikki Full Page Pic

Nikki also crops up on a couple of other pages in the mag, firstly Vanessa's Gastric Band Diary, is devoted to UBB and includes a pic of Vanessa with Nikki asleep against her arm and a lovely comment in week 12 - which i will let you read for yourself!

Vanessa's Gastric Band Diary

and finally in her Dear Vanessa, agony aunt column Vanessa includes an intro in which she states she doesnt regret a thing about UBB and reels off a long list of things she did in UBB which includes:


"refused to swap beds with Nikki Grahame"

Thanks barra for the scans nice photoshoot too. Lovely story and good for Nikki putting on weight in the house and feeling proud about herself doing it,

Had a great time with Nikki and her tour manager Darren last night!!!!!!!I will try to remember everything but after a few glasses of wine i forgot half the things she said!
I have to go to work so will give you some tasters...and the rest you will have to wait for

Nikki was very very tired but she was sooo entertaining and had my friend Sara and i in stitches all night.She sang us the FULL version of her BB song right from BB1 to BB11.We suggested she bring it out as a single and she said that if she did it might be for Xmas and that Victor and Nick had offered to produce it for her!I think she would have been better doing it when BB was on.Think she was only joking though
But if there was enough demand you never know
Nikki is going to be doing a photoshoot with Vanessa for OK.She has (or is doing)a Now interview and she is in next week's Love It(i think).I think she might have mentioned doing something for Closer but i can't remember and her dogs might be with her for one of the shoots but hasn't been decided yet...could be the Now one.Think she is doing that today.She hasn't a day off till Saturday.
She arranged all the pas herself,choosing where she wanted to go.She said she would like to do one in Coventry as she has friends there as well.She has tried to choose places where she knows people.
She was still finding her feet with Darren as she has always went to pas with friends or her mum.He was making sure she was at the airport hours before she had to be there,seems to be a stickler for time!But he seemed very organised and patient.Nikki has been staying in apartments rather than hotels so that she has her own kitchen.He even took pics for us.
We had a good gossip about other housemates,some interesting stuff !But can't be repeated!

She has lost weight again but only because she hasn't had time to eat as she is sleeping when she gets the chance.I gave her some Thorntons chocolate so she was delighted and said she would tuck in to it later as she was really hungry.
I will post the best stuff later

Sounds like you had a fun meet up with Nikki. What a great way for Nikki to have chosen her PAs and I like the sound of Darren. Hope Nikki was able to chomp on her chocolates later and tries to make good use of those kitchens.

There’s lots to look forward to in the mags and a joint one with Vanessa sounds good. It looked like Nikki did get on well with Nick and Victor although not too much was shown. I’m envious of the housemates privileged information but even without it admit to looking forward to reading more.

thanks Jane - so glad you had a good time. Shame Nikki's lost weight but to be expected I guess and Darren sounds like a good influence - "Tour manager" sounds good
Coventry would be good as well - always nice to go where you have friends
Looking forward to the second instalment

You sure can
And don't worry about her - she looked sad in the This Morning interview but she's OK - it was just a sad thing to talk about

Thanks Callous you beat me to the Foxy Bingo news tonight And i had a word in Nikki's ear about that other thing you were worried about,she might be giving it a miss now.She thinks she might have another pa that night.


Nikki didn't enjoy This Morning.She was annoyed the other two wouldn't let her speak!And she didn't want to appear rude by butting in.

Nikki treated us to loads of impressions,her best being Nadia and Nick.Though when she sings her BB song she does impressions of the housemates as well!!!We were in stitches .Especially liked her verse about BB5,which included Kinga and the bottle and Anfony and Makosi in the pool!
My friend and Nikki turned out to have the same foot problems!Nikki was delighted she had found someone else with exactly the same foot shape complete with bunions! Nikki told us she had had her bunions done before and it was really painful and she needed morphine.She said she was going to get them done again shortly.After getting the gory details it has put my friend off getting hers done.Think it put off Darren as well as he sat there not believing what we were talking about.But then he had to endure a convo about boob jobs
I quickly changed the subject when Nikki mentioned the aircon had been turned on,i had an alarm ringing in my head and i steered her quickly in to another conversation haha!

We had a girlie chat about her past boyfriends,in graphic detail haha! Better not post anything about that! Though a certain someone is single again but Nikki said she wouldn't be going there again....wonder if my hubbie would mind me having a toyboy
Nikki told us about her ghost story night at Hopfarm.There were 6 of them crammed in to a tent, including Marcus as you know.Next came a classic Nikki oneliner which had us creased up laughing".Marcus's breathe could kill one of my dogs!":

We had a chat about how Pete has taken a shine to a couple of her friends and has asked one of them on a date!

Nikki spoke about her time in the house,cue Ulrika impression! She loved Nick and Victor especially.She made friends with Coolio at the party.Lot of chat about C and P !! more party gossip!
Nikki chatted about her management and why she changed and why she went with the one she chose.Not happy with Amanda .Feels as if she lost a few opportunities when she came out of UBB.Nikki is the first BB person this agent has taken on.He has lots of radio and internet contacts including Foxy!!!!

Thanks Jane for your reports - you lucky thing!

Glad to hear everything is going fine for her - i said she didnt get a chance to speak enough on This Morning and looked like she didnt want to appear rude butting in nevermind - looks like plenty of mags to look forward too!

Hope she has a nice rest at the weekend she is so busy, needs not to overdo it.

Thanks again

To be fair Nikki did say a decent amount at the start on This Morning.

I think the others are just more polished and rehearsed when it comes to media interviews so can get into full flow quite easily ....

...while Nikki can umm and ahh from time to time (and there's no time for that on live interviews to be honest).

She should probably try and plan things out a bit more (although of course then you can sound as if you're just making a pre-planned lecture..or can get even more flummuxed if you forget what you intended to say) .

I think Nikki just gets frustrated/ feels out of her depth if she's not contributing to the conversation....while its often better to just say your piece and sit back and listen. If it doesn't feel right/natural to butt in then you probably shouldn't...as then you're just saying something simply for the sake of it.

The best bit of news is something we have wanted her to do for ages......PANTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nikki is going to be Princess Jasmine in Aladdin!!!! Not Peter Pan but that will do instead!!
Now she told me it was going to be in 2 places but i only remember one and i am sure it was Northampton and i think the second place started with a T.It will be from November to January so she has had to postpone some holiday plans.
Sorry i can't remember more but we had some wine to contend with which got in the way of my interviewing skills,and we were trying to keep Nikki awake as she was so so tired and getting to that tearful stage.She really badly needed some rest which she will hopefully get on Saturday.
My friend had never met Nikki before and she had this impression in her head of what she thought Nikki would be like.She was very pleasantly surprised about how down to earth Nikki is.

Nikki told me what she had prepared to say but didn't get the chance as she kept getting interrupted.And she got a bit stressed because she realised she had said something she had been asked not to mention.Thats why she was being careful what she said .Nikki is better in a one to one conversation.She is always better at those than these group ones.
