Nikki Grahame returns to Big Brother for the last time

From Digital Spy

LegendaryBig Brother housemate Nikki Grahame has made a hugely emotional final appearance in the house, and some fans are wondering if it's possible to crown her the winner of this series?

That might seem like an odd choice, considering Nikki isn't technically a housemate this series but she was a part of Thursday's all-star episode that brought back some familiar faces from the past.

The premise was that Big Brother was fed up with 18 years of housemates refusing to follow even the most basic of rules and then winging endlessly in the Diary Room. So, Big Brother quit!

This left the job of running the house to some all-time greats, including Kim Woodburn! The Celebrity Big Brother legend didn't shout "ADULTERER!" at anyone or threaten to whip Cameron's bum with a lettuce leaf this time, but she did actually force the housemates to clean up.

"Now let's sort these little buggers out," she warned as she struggled to get her headphones on in the control room.

The former How Clean is Your House star had a pretty stern task for the finalists: clean up the entire house in 30 minutes or less. Anyone who knows Kim knows that she was very, very serious about holding housemates to that time limit.

"I want no arguments, no-nonsense, no scratching yourself, no breaking wind," she insisted.

As expected, she gave us a classic Kim-ism when a housemate dared call her "she", quipping: "Don't call me she! I'm not the cat's mother. Mrs Woodburn, to you!"

It wasn't all shade from Kim. At one point, she called Brooke to the Diary Room to sympathise over the housemate not getting her letter from home - well, sympathising in her own way.

"You're a nice girl, dear," Kim told her. "Mind you, when you don't wash your hair for two weeks, you're a bit off, dear!"

Once Kim cleared out, it was time for the return of the Randy Mare! The last-ever Big Brother winner on Channel 4, Josie Gibson, took over and she was much friendlier as she called the housemates into the Diary Room for some gossip.

"She's one of my favourite winners," Cameron whispered to the others, with Josie beaming: "I heard that, Cameron. Thank you very much."

In his Diary Room with "the copperknob" Cian, Josie tried to get the bottom of his crush on Cameron once and for all.

"I do have a teeny crush on him," Cian admitted. "But my friendship with him is the priority. I also don't wan to intimidate him because I can get quite intense."

Hearing the voice of some legendary Big Brother stars was definitely exciting for the housemates, but nothing could prepare them for the one and only Nikki Grahame actually entering the house to meet them!

"Listen, I'm luvvvvvving this series," she beamed as she made her surprise entrance. "Guys, I'm supposed to be here to look after you, but f**k it! I wanna have fun!"

And Nikki was on her game! She called out Brooke and Zoe for threatening to leave, admitted she'd "gone a bit off" Cian to his face and told Sian that she'll only be known for smoking cigarettes.

"Oh my god? I haven't been shown at all except for when I smoke," Sian mumbled as Nikki walked off. "Imagine if I didn't smoke at all? I wouldn't exist."

The most gorgeous moment came when Nikki had a heart-to-heart with Cameron, completely with hugs that melted the hearts of viewers.

"You know who you remind me of? Rodney from Only Fools and Horses," she quipped.

Cameron was practically in tears while telling Nikki that he's a Big Brother super-fan, with Nikki quipping: "Oh Cameron, I can't believe you were a super-fan of me! What do you love most about me?"

"What's not to love?" Cameron beamed as Nikki gave him a big hug and promised: "I can't wait to take you to Soho and take you to gay bars!"

In the Diary Room for potentially the last time, Nikki couldn't help but get emotional as she looked back at the ways Big Brother had changed her life forever.

"There's something about this house," she told Big Brother. "I just don't want it to end... I don't have one regret, not one! Thank you Big Brother, for everything!"

The nation can't seem to agree on much these days - but some Big Brother fans think it's high time to correct a mistake from the past and make Nikki a winner!
