More people voted for Nikki Grahame on Big Brother than they did Boris Johnson for prime minister

Big Brother 7, which aired in the summer of 2006, was one of the all-time classic series of a television show. Think season four of The Wire, the first series of I’m Alan Partridge or the Seinfeld one with the show within a show story arc. That damn good.

Nikki Grahame, although she finished fifth that year, still pipped winner Peter Bennett, the icon with Tourette’s syndrome, to the Most Popular TV Contender prize at the National Television Awards. The pair were actually romantically involved during their time in the house in what was an even less healthy dynamic than that between Ross and Rachel.

Grahame, notorious for her temper tantrums and histrionics, might not seem like a figure you expect to be all too relevant in 2019 but it appears more people voted for the television personality to return to the Big Brother house at the end of series seven than voted for Boris Johnson to become Prime Minister.

As Celebrity Big Brother winner Rylan points out in a very unexpected 'hot take', these are simply facts.

And someone even had a fact related to Rylan.
