Channel 4 has announced a new documentary to celebrate the life of reality TV star Nikki Grahame.
Nikki rose the fame after appearing on season seven of Big Brother in 2006 where she uttered the iconic line "who is she?!" cementing her as one of the most beloved characters in the show's history.
Behind the spotlight, Nikki was a complex woman who battled anorexia for over 30 years. During the UK's third national lockdown, Nikki died on Friday 9th April 2021 at the age of 38.

The untitled hour-long film will commemorate Nikki's life through archive and home movies. There will also be exclusive interviews with Nikki's mum Susan Grahame as well as her close family, friends and tributes from celebrity colleagues.
Sue Grahame, Nikki’s mum says: “Nikki was so much more than a reality TV contestant and I am looking forward to celebrating her short life in this documentary. It will be tough, but Nikki was one special girl - kind and smart with the biggest heart - and I know Jane and Angel Eye will do her proud.”
The film was commissioned by Rita Daniels, and is being produced by Angel Eye Media, executive produced by Ollie Durrant and Richard Osborne and directed by Jane Preston.
Ollie Durrant, Executive Producer says: “We are honoured to be making this important film with Nikki’s family and friends. She was an amazingly kind, caring person who despite her own struggles, worked tirelessly to raise awareness of anorexia and the exponential rise of mental health issues in society today. We hope this film is a fitting tribute to her legacy.”
Rita Daniels, Commissioning Editor added: “Nikki was an important part of Channel 4 and Big Brother history. We were deeply saddened by her passing and so this important multi-layered film celebrates Nikki, the reality TV legend in a way that shows respect and gives dignity to Nikki’s memory.”
