After entering the house as dressed as a Playboy bunny, Nikki became known for her temper tantrums and Diary Room histrionics, including her famous “Who is she?” rant.

She formed an unlikely relationship with the show’s eventually winner Pete Bennett, but their romance ended a month after they left the house.

Nikki was evicted on day 58, but went back into the house after the remaining contestants picked her to return. She eventually finished in fifth place with 6.5 per cent of the final vote.

After Big Brother, she bagged her own reality show, Princess Nikki, which saw her attempt to keep various jobs despite her famous temper.

She has also appeared on Celebrity Scissorhands, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and The Weakest Link, and a Channel 4 poll named her the 12th most “written about” person of 2006 in the UK.

Nikki has written a book, Dying To Be Thin, about her long battle with anorexia.

She has appeared on Big Brother again since her exit, competing in a Silent Disco task against housemate Karly in Big Brother 10.

Nowadays she DJs in bars and clubs. She also writes a column for OK! magazine’s Hot Stars, and will be working on her News Of The World column from inside the house.
