British reality TV star Nikki Grahame has died at the age of 38, her representative said.
Grahame, who first appeared in the seventh season of “Big Brother UK” and had her own show “Princess Nikki,” died Friday morning, Deadline reported. No cause of death was provided.
The reality star had been open about his struggles with anorexia in his autobiographies, “Dying to Be Thin” and “Fragile.”
Friends started a GoFundMe campaign last month to raise money to help Grahame deal with it.
“Right now, Nikki is constantly feeling weak and struggling day in and day out,” the page said.
“She feels trapped and really wants to improve, but she feels it’s impossible. It’s groundbreaking and we just desperately want a healthy, healthy Nikki to come back with us.”
On Saturday, her ex-“Big Brother” star partner Pete Bennett said in a video on Instagram, “I thought to myself, yes, we could save her, but we didn’t. It’s okay, it’s in a good place, he no longer suffers.
After reaching number five on “Big Brother UK,” Grahame reached number two on “Ultimate Big Brother” in 2010 and appeared as a guest host on the show’s 16th season; in 2015. He also competed in “Big Brother Canada” in 2016, according to Variety.
