Nikki Grahame’s chilling last words in the showbiz world were made by her mum Sue when she appeared on This Morning last week.
The 38-year-old Big Brother icon has died at the age of 38 just weeks after a GoFundMe was set up to help pay for her treatment with her eating disor
Sue explained that lockdown had taken its toll on her daughter, and when gyms closed, it was “quite a worry”.
Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she said: “The isolation, it’s been really hard for her, really hard.
“She felt very cut off and spending too much time on her own with not enough to think about other than food and that took a grip as well.”
Sue added: “In order for her to eat she needs to know she can exercise, so when they closed it was quite a worry, the isolation as well.”
Nikki’s supporters received an email on Saturday afternoon announcing her page had been updated with a statement confirming her death.
The message read: “It is with great sadness, we have to let you know that our dear friend Nikki passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April.
“It breaks our hearts to know that someone who is so precious was taken from us at such a young age.
“Nikki not only touched the lives of millions of people but also her friends and family who will miss her immensely.
