Nikki Grahame spotted eating wet toilet paper at party

Is the former Big Brother contestant battling an eating disorder again?

Big Brother star Nikki Grahame said she was over the anorexia that’s plagued her life and claimed to be writing a book to help other sufferers.

‘There have been so many stories that I’m starving and dying – it’s all rubbish,' she said recently. 'Now, I lead a happy and normal life. I’m a very lucky girl.’

But Nikki, 25, stunned guests at Danielle Lloyd’s birthday party last month when she went into the loo and started stuffing sheets of wet tissue down her throat.

(Anorexia sufferers eat tissue to trick the stomach into feeling full - a very dangerous thing to do, warns Susan Ringwood, chief executive of eating disorder organisation Beat.)

One shocked friend at the bash at Faces nightclub in Ilford, Essex, tells Now: ‘She had an argument with an old boyfriend. She’d had a few drinks and stormed into the toilets.

‘She got a roll, put it under a tap and started swallowing sheets of the stuff. She then screamed for someone to take her picture.'

According to a number of Nikki’s friends, her eating disorder has been getting worse since her second boob job in the summer. Her weight has plummeted to under 6st.
