NIKKI Grahame previously said she ‘loved food and living’ in an emotional moment with Vanessa Feltz during Ultimate Big Brother.
The 38-year-old reality star tragically passed away on Friday following a long battle with anorexia.
Nikki checked into a private hospital to treat her eating disorder last month, after her desperate friends managed to raise more than £65,500 to start paying for life-saving care.
In a previous clip, the much-loved star discussed her battle with TV host Vanessa.
The moment was taken in 2010 during the show’s 10th anniversary.
Speaking to Vanessa, she said: “I faced all my demons and turned it around and there are still times, I was a bit down this morning when I put my jeans on and they didn’t fit me anymore.
“But do you know what Vanessa… I believe it does live with you for the rest of your life.
“I could live a normal, happy, healthy life where I eat what I want… I am healthy, I am in control and I love food, I love living, I love everything about life.
“I am so lucky to be here after everything that happened and that’s why I am how I am.”
A emotional Nikki added: “That’s why I do handstands in the living room because I try and cherish every moment of enjoyment that I’ve got because I wasted all those years.
“I’m only upset because we are talking about it now. I just took my jeans off and thought, I’ve got two other pairs that fit and actually they were too small anyway.”
She concluded: “I’m having fun and so what if I put on weight, I don’t care, I’m having the time of my life being in here.”
Just yesterday, Nikki’s passing was confirmed in a statement on her GoFundMe page.
It read: “It is with great sadness, we have to let you know that our dear friend Nikki passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April.
