Nicola Rachel Beth Grahame (born April 28, 1982) from Watford,
Hertfordshire rose to fame in the UK when she was chosen to be a housemate on Big Brother 7 in 2006. She has since gone on to front her own reality television show entitled Princess Nikki.
Before Grahame rose to fame on Big Brother, she had appeared as a supporting artist in the BBC soap opera
EastEnders, played a footballer's wife in Sky One's Dream Team and she was also a contestant on the ITV dating show Blind Date.
In addition, Grahame, who has an NVQ in beauty therapy, also took part in the 2004 Miss Hertfordshire pageant, where she came fourth.[4] Grahame had numerous jobs before she became publicly known, including working as a dancer, a promotions girl and a glamour
model.
In August 2006, Grahame confessed to The News Of The World that she had previously been employed as a high-class escort or 'vice girl'. She alleged that one of her clients was the Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty.
Grahame was nominated for eviction 4 times during her initial stay in the Big Brother house and was eventually evicted on Day 58 with 37.2% of the public vote. However, less than four weeks after her exit, she was voted back into the 'House Next Door' by 63% of the voting public,
and was once again given the opportunity to receive the £100,000 prize handed out to the winner.
Her show, Princess Nikki, premiered on E4 on 6 September and ran for 6 weeks.
