Channel 4 commissioned an intimate look at the life of Nikki Grahame, an icon of the golden age of reality television. 

She was described as “feisty, volatile and unapologetic” and an inspiration to millions – and when Nikki uttered her immortal line on Big Brother: “Who IS she?! Who IS she?!”, she became a TV legend. 

Behind the bright and funny media persona, Nikki was a complex woman who bravely battled anorexia for over 30 years. 

Her illness reached crisis point during the UK’s third national lockdown and, tragically, Nikki lost her fight for life on Friday 9th April 2021.

The film celebrated Nikki’s life through archive and home movies.

“It was tough, but Nikki was one special girl – kind and smart with the biggest heart.”

Nikki Grahame, Who is She? is available to stream now on All4.
