Nikki Grahame, star of “Big Brother” and “Princess Nikki,” died Friday morning. She was 38.

The reality TV star’s death was confirmed Friday by her agent Freddy White.

The news comes just one month after friends of the TV personality, including Rylan Clark-Neal and other former Big Brother UK housemates, created a fund-raising page in order to pay for her rehabilitation, following Nikki’s long battle with an eating disorder.

A message on the GoFundMe page said: “It is with great sadness, we have to let you know that our dear friend Nikki passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April.

“It breaks our hearts to know that someone who is so precious was taken from us at such a young age,” Dee wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Nikki not only touched the lives of millions of people, but also her friends and family who will miss her immensely.”

Grahame, who was a house member in series seven of Big Brother UK in 2006, has suffered from eating disorders since she was eight.

Last Month, Nikki’s mum Susan Grahame told This Morning she was determined to get better.

She told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “I spoke to Nikki this morning and she said, ‘Mum, please stress how overwhelmed I am at people’s kindness towards me’.”

“‘I just don’t get it, but I am so grateful,’ and she said, ‘Also tell everybody that I’m going to try my level best this time to beat this. I want to get my life back’.”

“I asked her if she would come and stay with me but she said she needs to be in her home.”

Sue added, “She was [suffering terminal loneliness] she felt very cut off and spending too much time on her own with not enough to think about other than food.

“It all came to a grinding halt. Also for Nikki, she would muddle herself through the year knowing she’s got friends abroad and she would visit them.

“She spent a lot of time last year canceling holidays.

Her mum Susan added on This Morning: “I think she suffered so badly, because back in the day… we’re going back 31 years… I guess at that time people found it hard to believe that an eight-year-old could be a victim of this. There wasn’t the kind of treatment and the units that there are now, so we did struggle with this.”

Grahame rose to fame on Season 7 of “Big Brother UK” in 2006, in which she finished in fifth place. Later that year, she starred in her own reality series, “Princess Nikki,” which followed Grahame attempting several jobs, like trash collecting and deep-sea fishing, and seeing whether she would be able to keep them for a day or be fired.

In 2010, Grahame finished in second place in “Ultimate Big Brother,” and in 2015, she returned as a guest housemate in Season 16 of “Big Brother UK.” The following year, Grahame competed in “Big Brother Canada” and finished in sixth place. Grahame was lauded as a breakout star of the “Big Brother” franchise and a reality television icon, known for her humorous testimonials and joyful personality.

‘Nikki was ditching her lunch every day. I had no idea.’

Years before Nikki Grahame became a Big Brother sensation, she was battling an eating disorder that has plagued her since childhood.

Grahame also won a National Television Award for Most Popular TV Contender and wrote two books, “Dying To Be Thin” and “Fragile,” which documented her experiences with anorexia.

Contributions to Grahame’s GoFundMe will be donated to an organization supporting those suffering from anorexia in her memory.

This is one of her BBUK Diary Room sessions that made her a star:

Tim and Nikki; the undisputed stars of BBCAN4. To see these two absolute stars of their own series & country come together to play this different game was fantastic to watch as a fan. Then for such an amazing friendship to blossom between the pair really was incredible. #RIPNikki pic.twitter.com/MgeEq1PWA3
