Princess Nikki is a reality television series that stars former Big Brother 7 housemate Nikki Grahame. It ran on Wednesday nights between 10:00 - 10:30pm on E4 from 6 September 2006, for a total runtime of 30 minutes. The show was devised by Endemol, the company that also devised Big Brother. It was narrated by the presenter and comedian, Alex Zane.
The format saw Grahame attempt several jobs, including various unpleasant tasks such as rubbish collecting, deep sea fishing, and waste management.[1] The premise of the series was to see whether or not Grahame would perform the tasks given to her and keep her job for a day, or whether she would quit or be sacked due to her infamous tantrums.[2] The concept of the series was taken from one of the tasks Grahame undertook while in the Big Brother House, in which she was assigned as Big Brother's personal assistant and had to carry out various duties, which often resulted in her throwing a tantrum and refusing to comply.[3]
Contrary to rumours after the airing of the first series, a second series was never planned; creative director Philip Edgar-Jones later confirmed that the series was finished.[4]
