Big Brother’s Nikki Grahame is battling anorexia again as pals say her ‘last hope’ is raising £25k for specialist clinic
NIKKI Grahame is battling anorexia and her condition has "worsened" in recent months.
The 38-year-old star is in a "very bad way" and her Big Brother pal Rylan Clark-Neal has tweeted his fans asking for help to raise £25,000 to get her treatment in a specialist clinic.
Rylan tweeted: "This is v hard to read but sharing with permission.
"If some of the family could help in any way I know it would be greatly appreciated. Sending love x"
Nikki's representative told The Sun: “It is with sadness that we can confirm Nikki’s battle with anorexia has worsened in recent months and those closest to her are doing everything they can to assist with her recuperation, most notably in the form of a go fund me page.
"We are confident Nikki will be able to make a full recovery and she would personally like to thank everyone for their kind words, wishes and donations today and beyond.”
"She has been battling for most of her life and as you can see, Nikki is now in a very bad way so we need to do something quickly.
"Over the past years Nikki's family and friends have tried so desperately to get Nikki all the help possible through the NHS but unfortunately the treatments have failed and we have exhausted every avenue possible, and now Nik is unfortunately in a very bad way, this is now our last hope."
Nikki's friends are now "praying" private specialist treatment would give her "the chance of kicking this illness to the curb once and for all".
"At the moment, Nikki constantly feels weak and is struggling on a day to day basis," they wrote.
"She feels trapped and really wants to get better but feels like it’s impossible.
"It’s heart-breaking and we desperately just want a healthy and well Nikki back with us.
"She has no energy and is taking each day as it comes."
Nikki's friends are planning to walk the bridges in London in May to raise money.
