In an emotional and deeply personal interview, former Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has revealed the heartbreaking final conversation she shared with Nikki Grahame before the reality TV icon's tragic death from anorexia.
The Last Goodbye
Aisleyne recounted visiting Nikki in the specialist eating disorder clinic where she was receiving treatment, describing how her friend's condition had deteriorated significantly. "She was just so tiny," Aisleyne shared, her voice filled with emotion. "I could see every bone in her body."
A Poignant Final Exchange
The most devastating moment came during their last interaction, when Nikki looked at Aisleyne and whispered words that would haunt her friend forever. "She told me, 'I'm so tired, Aisleyne. I don't think I can fight anymore.' Those were essentially her last words to me," the reality star revealed, fighting back tears.
A Friendship Forged in the Spotlight
The two women first met during their time on Big Brother and maintained a close bond throughout the years. Aisleyne described Nikki as "the most vibrant, funny person" who lit up every room she entered. Their friendship endured long after the cameras stopped rolling, with Aisleyne remaining a constant support throughout Nikki's ongoing battle with anorexia.
The Desperate Fight for Treatment
Aisleyne detailed the frantic efforts to raise £65,000 for Nikki's specialist treatment through a GoFundMe campaign. The public response was overwhelming, with donations pouring in from fans and fellow celebrities alike. The funds secured Nikki a place at a private eating disorder clinic, offering a glimmer of hope in her long-standing battle.
A Legacy Beyond Reality TV
While Nikki Grahame became a household name through Big Brother, Aisleyne emphasized that her friend's legacy extends far beyond reality television. "She was so much more than just a TV personality," Aisleyne stated. "She was a daughter, a friend, and an inspiration to many struggling with similar issues."
The interview serves as both a tribute to Nikki's life and a stark reminder of the devastating impact of eating disorders, highlighting the urgent need for better mental health support and treatment options.
