Big Brother star Nikki Grahame has tragically passed away aged 38.
Following a long battle with anorexia, Nikki checked into a private hospital last month after friends raised over £65,500 for eating disorder treatment.
A statement from Nikki's representative reads, "It is with immeasurable sadness that Nikki Grahame passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April 2021.
"Please respect the privacy of Nikki’s friends and family at this tragic and difficult time"
Just last week, Nikki's mother Sue told This Morning of her daughter's battle with disordered eating.
She said, "With Covid, it sounds crazy but stuff like gyms closing impacted her."
"In order for her to eat she needs to know she can exercise, so when they closed it was quite a worry, the isolation as well.
"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 cancelling holidays.
""I heard from Nikki this morning and she said, 'please stress how overwhelmed I am at people's kindness towards me. I am so grateful.'"
Our thoughts are with Nikki's family and friends at this tragic time.
In a bid to raise money for Nikki's treatment recently, friends Leon and Carly wrote, "Over the past years Nikki's family and friends have tried so desperately to get Nikki all the help possible through the NHS but unfortunately the treatments have failed and we have exhausted every avenue possible, and now Nik is unfortunately in a very bad way, this is now our last hope.
"At the moment, Nikki constantly feels weak and is struggling on a day to day basis."
