To be clear, I'm not a Nikki fan, but I'm not trolling or looking to upset people here - I'm genuinely interested to know what the feeling is from people who support her?
Thanks

That's a fair question
alexq and speaking personally as someone who is a fan (but not a
*FAN* 
) of Nikki, grew to like Jade, and has been a fan of Big Brother in general since it started, I don't believe either of them returning to the house is good for them, good for us, or good for the show.
Nikki in particular would be a bad idea, since she's already been back once recently and it would certainly do her no good whatsoever with those who didn't take to her the first time around. Jade has been 4 1/2 years out of the house and still in the public eye so I can see the temptation to put her in as a 'Celeb', but really when you put people who have become 'celebrities' back into the show that created them in the first place you are just cannibalising the concept and once Big Brother starts to 'eat itself' it is finished.
If this is what producers are reduced to in order to bump up the numbers and 'excitement' in Celebrity Big Brother I'd rather they stopped now and just had the 'normal' show. I'm happy for her to appear on the satellite shows as a commentator, but there is no good reason for Nikki to go back in again, it would be a retrograde step for her and the show and shows little imagination on the part of producers.
There's not much more reason for a return visit by Jade, much less her troglodyte family, unless we are to be witness to a crass and cynically exploitative
Big Brother Wedding, which prospect fills me with dread
