Big Brother’s Nikki Grahame plays ‘Who IS she?!’ with Attitude

By Aaron Tamazou

Who can forget Nikki Grahame. The Queen of Big Brother hissy fits achieved legendary status during BB7 in 2006, waging brutal verbal campaigns against everything from air con to corn flakes to Aisleyne ‘you better-know-yourself’ Horgan-Wallace. Of all her iconic tantrums, however, none stand out quite as much as her outburst about tea-loving bore Susie, against whom she aimed those now-immortal words: “Who IS she? Who IS she? WHO IS SHE?!?! WHERE DID YOU FIND HER?!”

Her famous short temper may have won Nikki her own TV series, Princess Nikki, but she’s been keeping a low profile in the South of France over the last few years – until she came to visit Attitude HQ earlier this week, that is.

Seizing the opportunity, we decided to devise a game befitting the notoriously stroppy Little Miss. The premise: We show Nikki a picture of a female celebrity, and she has to identify who they are and explain why they’re famous. Okay, so spelling might not be her forte, but read on for her killer Janet Street Porter impression and what is perhaps the most unlikely scoop of the year – that she hung out in the same social circle as FKA Twigs before they were famous(!!!)

Let the inaugural ‘Who IS She?!’ with Nikki Grahame begin:
