Welsh glamour model and Big Brother star Imogen Thomas says her friend and cast-mate Nikki Grahame was so ill before she died that she couldn't walk up stairs. In a moving tribute to her pal as the first anniversary of Nikki's passing approaches, Imogen recalled Nikki's fun and "mischievous" side and gave an insight into Nikki's fight with the eating disorder anorexia.
She also revealed that she tried to intervene and have Nikki sectioned in a desperate attempt to save her life. In an interview with The Sun, she told how Nikki would play pranks on other patients at the hospital where she was being treated for anorexia.
She said: "She was so mischievous, that girl. She was always up to no good! I’d go to visit her at the hospital, even when I wasn’t meant to, and stand by the window so we could talk. Once, she told me she’d hid the scales under another patient’s bed. I’d say, ‘Babe you’re going to get her into trouble!'"
