Rylan Clark-Neal has reached out to his fans to support Nikki Grahame get treatment for her anorexia.
Big Brother star Nikki, 38, recently set up a GoFundMe for her anorexia and Rylan has shared the link to his fans.
The presenter, 32, hopes this will help the page reach its goal of £25,000 after Nikki has ran out of options for getting the money.
He tweeted: “This is v hard to read but sharing with permission. If some of the family could help in any way I know it would be greatly appreciated. Sending love x.”
The page was originally set up by Nikki’s friends with her permission to share the story of how she has battled with an eating disorder “most of her life”.

They said: “She has been battling [anorexia] for most of her life and as you can see, Nikki is now in a very bad way so we need to do something quickly.
“Over the past years Nikki’s family and friends have tried so desperately to get Nikki all the help possible through the NHS but unfortunately the treatments have failed and we have exhausted every avenue possible.”

They are hoping that this treatment will be the last resort that will finally help Nikki beat this problem.
They continued: “At the moment, Nikki constantly feels weak and is struggling on a day to day basis. ‘She feels trapped and really wants to get better but feels like it’s impossible.
“It’s heart-breaking and we desperately just want a healthy and well Nikki back with us. She has no energy and is taking each day as it comes.
“Mental health, as so many of you know, is debilitating in many ways. We want to help save our friend from letting this Illness beat her. If you are able to donate anything then we would be extremely grateful.”
A rep told Daily Star Online: “It is with sadness that we can confirm Nikki’s battle with anorexia has worsened in recent months and those closest to her are doing everything they can to assist with her recuperation, most notably in the form of a go fund me page.
“We are confident Nikki will be able to make a full recovery and she would personally like to thank everyone for their kind words, wishes and donations today and beyond.”
Treatment for anorexia can cost up to £25,000 a month, but Nikki and her friends now know it is her only option left.
