Very sad news. Understandably it seems the news was delayed given yesterdays events.
Incredibly sad that Big Brother has lots arguably it’s two most memorable stars at such young ages.

How terribly sad – what an awful illness.
Absolutely shocked and devastated at this news. Anyone who watches Big Brother knows how much she was loved by fans and she is without a doubt the most recognisable person within the UK reality TV world.
Massively shocked by this. Nikki was a massive part of BB history and made her series a big success.
I hope e4 will air a tribute programme just like they did for Jackie Stalone.

Awful, awful news. I posted about her relapse in the other place not long before it closed, which felt an odd fit for the forum but I wanted to spread the word to get help and fortunately all members were understanding and equally sympathetic.
I count myself privileged to have met her - she was an iconic, incredibly funny Big Brother contestant and will be missed terribly by all those that knew her.
Desperately sad news for her family and friends - rest in peace.
Nikki was a poster girl for a generation and a real era in time of the late 2000’s reality fever.
She was incredibly entertaining, delightfully bratty, loud, vulnerable and all while having the biggest heart.
Devastating news. Thoughts are with her friends and family at this time.
Such sad news! Nikki absolutely made series 7 of Big Brother and it was that series that helped propel Big Brother to be the show it once was.
Terrible news. My condolences to her friends and family.

Such sad news, I wasn't old enough to be watching BB7 when originally on, but I know how much she was loved, and how iconic she was to the show.
Absolutely awful news. She was loved and known to many.
Thoughts with her family and friends.
