Nikki Grahame fans all saying the same thing after ex-boyfriend Pete Bennett was absent from new documentary

A HEARTBREAKING documentary about Nikki Grahame’s battle against anorexia had viewers sobbing within minutes of it starting tonight – but some aren’t happy about one fine detail.

Nikki shot to fame after appearing on Big Brother in 2006 alongside fellow stars Imogen Thomas and the eventual winner of the show, Pete Bennett.

But while Imogen appeared on the tear-jerking Channel 4 documentary, Pete – who briefly dated Nikki after the series – was nowhere to be seen.

During the tenure of the programme, a flurry of Nikki’s fans took to social media questioning where Pete was – and they certainly didn’t hold back.

Taking to Twitter, one dismayed viewer questioned: “So they aren’t even going to have Pete on this show?”

Echoing their comments, someone else said: “Pete was the biggest part of Nikki’s Big Brother experience. More than Imogen. Surprised he’s not made an appearance.”

While a third added: “Disappointed that Pete has chosen not to appear in the documentary about Nikki. He would’ve been asked to, surely?”

Pete’s absence from Nikki Grahame: Who Is She? comes after his former co-star Imogen accused him of “seeking attention” from her death.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Imogen told us Pete had “cruelly betrayed” Nikki after posting a picture of her looking dangerously thin.

Pete insisted that Nikki, who died last April, had given him permission to post the image that she had sent in her final text message to him.

Since Imogen’s admission, Pete furiously hit back and accused her of “milking” her friendship with Nikki.

Pete has now insisted he supported Nikki in her final days and shared the photo to raise funds for his friend’s anorexia treatment. 

He told MailOnline: “I am depressed to see the recent attack on me by Imogen in the press just coming up to the first anniversary of Nikki’s death.”


After lockdown was imposed in 2020, Nikki found her anorexia taking over as she lived alone in her flat.

Tragically, unable to cope with being isolated, the 38-year-old died just a year later in April 2021.

Nikki Grahame: Who Is She? is available to watch now on All 4.
