Nikki Grahame’s mother Sue has bravely opened up about her daughter’s untimely death.
Nikki tragically died from anorexia at the age of 38 earlier this year.
The former Big Brother star’s death completely broke her mother’s heart.
Speaking during the documentary ‘Nikki Grahame: Who Is She?’, Sue said part of her died when she lost her daughter.
She shared, “Part of me has died. I miss her more than I can say.”
Nikki’s mum explained that she couldn’t walk up the stairs because she was so frail.

Her mum said she visited her in hospital and showered her, dressed her, and sat with her.
Shortly before she died, Nikki had one final phone call with her mother.
Before saying goodbye, Nikki said: “Mum, I’m so tired”.
Her mum continued, “So I said “Go to sleep darling. I’ll call you in the morning”, and she died.”
Since her death on April 9th, 2021, her mum has been honouring Nikki.

She said she misses her like crazy, but there are little things that comfort her.
She revealed that she often sleeps in Nikki’s flat and cuddles the teddy she was holding when she died.
Her mum shared, “I cuddle him every night now because actually, it brings me a bit closer to Nikki.”
Nikki suffered from anorexia nervosa for most of her life. Her mother Sue said she first noticed her struggles when she was only 6 years old.
In March 2021, her family confirmed she relapsed and was struggling to recover. She also said it felt impossible.
Nikki was found dead in her apartment and doctors confirmed that Nikki passed away from complications caused by anorexia nervosa.
