| February 4, 2012 Nikki Grahame on Celebrity Coach Trip |  Nikki was on Celebrity Coach Trip which aired on C4, Monday 16th January to 18th January 2012. Nikki teamed up with fellow BB7 housemate Aisleyne Horgan Wallace and competed in Frisbee, football, judo, dressing up as clowns and cake making.
Nikki and Aislyene started with a lot of enthusiasm but never really clicked with the older contestants. In particular the team of Paul Burill and so called etiquette expert Jean Broke-Smith. Who were very snobbish towards the girls especially about putting on their making on the coach. Since they were getting up at 6am each morning to save time the girls applied their makeup first thing on the coach each morning which is quite normal if you have a hectic schedule.
Nikki was interviewed by Heat World (see full interview here) and when asked - What was your favourite destination that you visited on the coach?
Nikki: "Oh Croatia was a beautiful little place", but that was the day I quit. We were going to make a cake and I was really enjoying making this cake, but the snob Jeannie [TV etiquette expert Jean Broke-Smith' class='pinkheading' style='font-size: 10px'> was rolling her eyes because we were taking too long and they were all moaning that we'd gone first and were taking too long – that's when I snapped, and I went, "I'm sorry, is there a problem?!" And I just turned round and confronted the entire lot of them and I said "I have had enough of you lot, the past three days turning your noses up at us, who do you think you are?!" They all just started back at me and I just lost it and went mental.
See the episode highlights below and the 2nd and 3rd episode highlights on the video page here.
(Highlight video's not up yet but will be in the next few days, come back soon).

| November 14, 2011 Nikki Grahame at the Big Brother Final |  Nikki was at the Big Brother's Bit on the Side after-party in a large tent along with family and friends of the housemates and the programme's regular guests and presenters. She looked great with her 40's hairstyle and was clearly having a good time.
The winner and housemates were still in the BBBOTS studio but able to be questioned - Nikki asked Aaron if he had more tantrums than his son - Aaron said he probably did!! Only Nikki could have asked that question!!
So that's Big Brother over for another year. Nikki's regular slot on the show as the BB "psychologist" has been one of the highlights. Let's hope we get to see her next year.
The clip with Nikki is pretty short but if you want to watch it you can do so on Demand 5 at 31.56 here

| November 10, 2011 Nikki Grahame on Big Brother's Bit on the Side 9th November |  This week's programme came from inside the garden. Nikki, well wrapped up against the cold, was on the panel along with Alice Levine, Jamie East and Kate Walsh. The housemates were still inside the house but were able to listen to, and talk to, the audience and the panel.
When the panellists had to ask a question of one of the housemates, Nikki asked Tom who was the better kisser, Alex or Aaron!!
She was asked which couple she preferred (it was Tom and Alex), who she'd like to see back in the house (Tashie) and how this years show compared to her years - she thought they'd had an easy time of it with too many treats. Nikki was great, it was a good show, and something a bit different.

| October 27, 2011 Nikki Grahame on Big Brother Bit on the Side 26th October |  Nikki was once again appearing on BBBOTS in her role as BB psychologist; this time with Emma, interviewing Jem who had just left the house. Nikki and Jem discussed how you feel when you leave the BB house and then Jem was shown an ink blot picture which was clearly a picture of Aaron - Jem saw this immediately but Nikki, with a very innocent face, said she saw a butterfly!
Nikki admitted that she had warmed to Jem the longer she was in the house as she saw the caring side of her towards her sister and she liked it when Jem was being fun.
After a little more discussion about Jem's time in the house the segment ended with a comment about Jem's professional wrestling name - Inferno. Nikki said this showed the fiery side of her nature - she said her name would be mischief. Her expression as she said this was priceless - Nikki at her most mischievous!!

| October 20, 2011 Nikki Grahame on Big Brother Bit on the Side 19th October |  Nikki was once again in her white coat in the studio talking about all the latest goings-on in the house. She was asked about the film premiere of Paranormal Activity which was held outside the house. Nikki enjoyed the film, going into the house for the 5th time (!!) and meeting the housemates who were there. She said Tom was her favourite housemate because he was so sweet.
Emma asked her about how she thought the housemates were feeling in the house: how they coped with having the cameras on them all the time, their feelings of paranoia, how they would all feel when the "ghosts" returned to the house etc.
This inevitably brought back some comparisons and reminiscences about BB7: Nikki said she hadn't been worried about the cameras because she'd been too concerned about the aircon and she also talked a little about how she'd felt when Aisleyne returned to the house.
The audience were great this week: there were shouts of "Who is She" when she was introduced and a lot of laughter.
It was a great episode so if you didn't catch it - do so here.

| October 6, 2011 Nikki Grahame on Big Brother Bit on the side 5th October 2011 |  Nikki as Big Brother's Psychologist was called upon to give her analysis on Mark who walked from the Big Brother house earlier in the day. A difficult challenge as Mark wasn't being all that co-operative.
Nikki and Mark sat at either end of the table and after Emma did the introduction's with Mastermind music, Mark asked "is this a game show"? Nikki quickly reminded him that the game show ended for him when walked earlier that morning.
Nikki used ink blot techniques on Mark and her analysis on it was that he needs to be sectioned. Another funny moment occurred when Mark talked about his penis being small - Nikki asked him to get it out as she couldn't give an opinion without seeing it lol. Watch the video below.

Nikki in the MAGS!
| October 26, 2011 Nikki Grahame Interview in HEAT magazine |  Nikki recorded this interview with HEAT magazine about her continued battle with anorexia. She has had a relapse but is seeking the right help.
Nikki's Interview with HEAT:-
After ten year, it breaks our hearts to report that Nikki Grahame'a anorexia has returned. After her first day back at an eating disorder clinic, heat sat down with Nikki for a frank and, at times, extremely difficult chat...
Nikki, we're so sorry. We thought these days were behind you.
They were. But I had a bunion removed in January and because I couldn't exercise for three months I started to panic that I'd get fat. So I cut my food down by half. Then as soon as I could, I started exercising to a ridiculous degree - but without increasing the food. I have this phobia of having more then 400 calories at any one time. I can't allow myself to sleep if I don't feel I've done enough exercise. I don't sit down for two hours after I've eaten.
Do you feel like you've lost control?
(looks very sad.) I feel like a bit of a failure. I've written my book and said thet I've beaten this illness, but now it's completely controlling me. I have to know where and when I'll be eating, at least two day's in advance, so I can gear myself up mentally. It just completely controls everything.
Your life doesn't sound happy...
I'm tormented. All I think about is this regimented schedule.
Is that why you've checked yourself into a clinic?
Yes, I go ro a clinic every day, from 10am till 4pm.
What happense in the clinic?
You have groups, like a self-esteem group, a relapse-prevention group, an art group, a body-awareness group...
And you have to eat what they tell you when you're there?
Yes, Yesterday I had to eat macaroni cheese. They supervise you so you can't throw up, and it scares the shit out of me. I'm going to stay there for a couple of weeks, then go back to my therapy once a week.
You've mentioned that you hear a voice in your head. Can you describe that voice?
It's just guilt. It's constantly reminding you that you don't deserve to be there. You're insignificant to everyone else. Unbelieveable self-loathing. I did have thoughts of harming myself when I heard a friend slag me off recently, because that just justifies how I feel about myself.
Why have you spoken about this today?
Talking about it is part of my counselling. I want to continue to be honest, because I've been an inspiration to people suffering out there and I've been inundated with e-mails.
What would be your advice to someone who is feeling the same way as you?
It's OK to ask for help. You deserve it as much as anyone else. There is a life out there and there's no point in wasting any more time on that voice inside your head. I'll get there. I just need to be steered in the right direction.
________________________________________
Nikki your not a failure and many people have drawn inspiration from your book. No one has done more to get the awareness of anorexia out to the public, you have worked so hard. Please don't feel bad about yourself, you have done the right thing getting help. We all love you and know you will bounce back.

| September 1, 2011 Nikki Grahame in Closer Magazine this week |  Nikki is in Closer Magazine this week with Closer's new columnist, life coach Marisa Peer, helping Nikki understand and tackle the causes of her low self-esteem and anorexia. It is an in depth and informative interview in question and answer format. Nikki's session with Marisa really gets to the heart of the issues that affect Nikki today. Read about Nikki's session with the life coach in this week Closer Magazine.
At the end of the session this is what Marisa and Nikki had to say:-
Marisa: Nikki's main issues is her low self-esteem and not feeling like she's good enough. Our session was a good beginning and although her deep-rooted problem's wont be solved overnight - it will take time and effort - the good news is she can resolve her issues.
I'm confident she can make herself happy by teaching her mind to think positive thoughts and then she will start to feel different. She can do this by repeating "I'm good enough" and "I am lovable" in her head, up to five times a day. The more she say's it the more real it becomes.
She can also do some visualisation work and imagine herself as an eight year old again. She should picture giving herself a hug, and showing herself around her home now, looking at all the things she has. Then Nikki should tell her young self she lives in her world now and it's a much happier place. This will stop her living in the past and help her to move on. If Nikki changes her thinking her whole life will change for the better.
Nikki: I found this session with Marisa so helpful - she's such a wonderful lady who put me at ease immediately. I was amazed at how much she knew and understood my personal history, and she came up with lots of solutions to help me overcome the torments in my head that I struggle with on a daily basis. I went away from the appointment feeling positive and energised and feeling ready to take on anything. I'm so glad I did it.

The band who consist of Justin Young (vocals), Freddie Cowan (lead guitar), Arni Hjorvar (bass) and Pete Robertson (drums) formed less than a year ago in June 2010 and have already reached heights of success which many recent british bands have yet to discover.
After their first London gig at the Flower Pot in Kentish Town, the band were signed to Columbia Records soon after releasing their debut single "Wreckin' Bar (ra ra ra)" which entered the uk singles chart at 157. This was followed by "Post Break Up Sex" which peaked at 32, and most recent "If You Wanna" (Hit The Floors personal favorite) which reached 53.
