Here's Big Brother star Nikki Grahame looking for fame and love on the TV show Blind Date.

Nikki, recently dumped by Big Brother winner Pete Bennett, 24, appeared in an episode of the final series of the Saturday night show three years ago.

The footage of Nikki, 24, with TV host Cilla Black was unearthed by ITN Source.

Nikki describes herself on the ITV show as a dancer and fully-qualified beauty consultant.

She picks Lee, 20, from Berkshire, but looks less than impressed when the screen goes back to reveal the welder.

Nikki then ditches Lee for Alex, 20, a student and rugby player from Hertfordshire, and the couple go on an adventure holiday.

Nikki tells the audience her perfect man is a minimum of 5ft 7in, with a spiky gelled haircut, toned body and "no spots or zits".

Her most important demand is that there are not "any horrid hairs, and coming out of the shirt is a big no, no."

She adds: "And any un-required face hair, we don't do either."

Nikki says: "My problem with fellas is that I can't seem to find one I want to stick with for more than six weeks."

Blind Date was last broadcast on May 24, 2003.
