EX-HOUSEMATES RETURN TO 'BIG BROTHER'?

Former 'Big Brother' star Nikki Grahame is set to make a sensational return to the reality TV show on Sunday (12.07.09) as part of a new task.

Former 'Big Brother' star Nikki Grahame is set to return to the reality TV show.

The tantrum-prone blonde, who appeared in 'Big Brother 7' in 2006, will reportedly be put back into the house on Sunday (12.07.09) as part of the show's 10th anniversary celebrations.

Nikki, 27, will perform a task during her stay and a different former housemate will then return to the house every day until Friday July 17.

Bosses are hoping the twist will help boost ratings after viewing figures have slipped to under two million.

'Big Brother 1' star Nick Bateman - who was kicked out of the house for trying to influence nominations by writing people's names down on bits of paper - has also hinted he may be taking part in the task.

He wrote on his Twitter blog page: "E4 tonight and maybe C4 task next week."

Nikki and Nick have already edited the show's official website as guests, as have previous winners Craig Phillips, Pete Bennett and Brian Belo.
