Nikki: Ziggy is so transparent - June 27 2007
Former Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame has lashed out at this year's housemate Ziggy - saying he's "got the whole nation fooled".

It seems Nikki, who went to college with the model, thinks Ziggy is using housemate Chanelle to become a celebrity.

The blonde, who dated last year's winner Pete, told OK! magazine: "The only person he wants to settle down with is an A-list Hollywood actress - he is so transparent.

"He's got the whole nation fooled and he's winding me up so much because he's not like that at all."

She added: "He's playing some game in there - he wouldn't p*** on Chanelle if she was on fire outside the house."

Nikki claims the relationship is all part of Ziggy's game plan.

"He's gone in there and picked the fittest girl because he knows how well the couples thing works," she added.

"He's pretending to be insecure but he's the most arrogant man I know."


Nikki bags a new man - Nov 28 2006
Despite being heartbroken after being dumped by her Big Brother co-star Pete Bennett, it seems Nikki Grahame has got herself a new man.

It seems the 24-year-old blonde met hunky personal trainer Matt Drew in her local gym and the couple have been seeing each other regularly since.

The gym worker, also 24, told Reveal magazine: "Yes, I am seeing Nikki. It’s early days but we’re having a great time together. I think she’s a fantastic girl."

A pal added: "Matt is incredibly popular with the young women who work out at the gym because he is handsome, very muscular and has a great personality too.

"He’s always being chatted up by girls who seem to turn up at the gym just to see him.

"From what I gather, Nikki did all the flirting and chasing to get him. She kept coming back to the gym and always asked for Matt to help her. No one else would do."

Last week, BB winner Pete announced his engagement to long-term friend Gemma Costin.

Nikki announced: "Pete can do what he wants. I’m past caring."

It seems that there are plenty more fish in the sea...

Nikki’s temper tantrum - Nov 6 2006
Big Brother’s Nikki apparently threw one of her legendary tantrums at Heathrow airport - after she was refused entry into a VIP lounge.

The blonde - known for her whining on the reality TV show - got into a temper when staff told her she couldn’t enter the BA waiting area when she arrived at the airport on Friday, reports The Sun.

"It was priceless watching her cry and stamp her feet," a source told the paper.

"But the staff were professionals. They are used to blaggers."

Nikki, who scooped Best Reality Contestant at last week’s National Television Awards (see photos) , is said to have stormed off after she realised she wouldn’t be let in to the lounge.

"Nikki disappeared whining about how she had won an award and still wasn’t important enough," said the source.

It certainly seems as if Nikki is trying to build on the celebrity status she built up while she was in the BB house.
